Add the following to your Terraform configuration to create a Konnect Gateway Plugin:
resource "konnect_gateway_plugin_request_callout" "my_request_callout" {
  enabled = true
  config = {
    callouts = [
      {
        name = "auth"

  control_plane_id = konnect_gateway_control_plane.my_konnect_cp.id
  consumer_group = {
    id = konnect_gateway_consumer_group.my_consumer_group.id
  }
}
This example requires the following variables to be added to your manifest. You can specify values at runtime by setting TF_VAR_name=value.
variable "api_url" {
  type = string
}
