Mark Plugin

mark sets lightweight metadata marks on the request Context. Marks may be boolean (presence) or string values and can be read by downstream plugins for routing or policy decisions.

Arguments

• name (required): mark key
• value (optional): string value to set; if omitted the mark is boolean true.

Exec quick-setup

Exec string format: "mark key [value]".

Examples:

plugins:
  - exec: mark:vip_customer
  - exec: mark:priority high

Behavior

• Stores boolean marks as bool metadata and value marks as String metadata under the provided key.
• Setting the same mark twice overwrites the previous value.

When to use

• Use mark to annotate requests for conditional plugin logic (e.g., bypass cache, prefer upstreams, or tag telemetry).
• Marks can be used in combination with other plugins that read metadata to influence behavior based on request attributes.
