This page provides the technical details of the Interrupt policy

Interrupt

Overview

The Interrupt policy can be used to break the entire request processing in case of a condition This is defined on the policy. By default, if no policy condition is defined, the policy will always break request processing.

Breaking the request processing means that no more policies will be executed and no endpoint will be called by the gateway.

By default, the policy will return a response payload to the consumer which contains the message.

If you want to override this standard response from the policy, you can define an errorKey which will be then be used to define a Response Template.

Functional and implementation information for the Interrupt policy is organized into the following sections:

• Examples
• Configuration
• Compatibility Matrix
• Errors
• Changelogs

Examples

{% hint style="warning" %} This policy can be applied to v2 APIs and v4 proxy APIs. It cannot be applied to v4 message APIs. {% endhint %}

{% tabs %} {% tab title="Proxy API example" %} Sample policy configuration:

"policy-interrupt": {
    "errorKey": "MY_CUSTOM_KEY",
    "message": "You got a problem, sir!",
    "variables": [{
        "name": "custom-variable",
        "value": "{#request.headers['origin']}"
    }]
}

{% endtab %} {% endtabs %}
