Nginx Rate limiting a specific path using Nginx

Hello

---

I think there is a topic but i can't find it about rate limiting a specific path using Nginx.

I enabled rate limiting in general for Nginx main config:

Code:

limit_req_zone  $binary_remote_addr zone=abclogin:16m rate=50r/s;
limit_conn_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=abcconlimit:16m;

and on the domain:

Code:

limit_conn abcconlimit 20;
limit_req  zone=abclogin burst=80 nodelay;

Now i would like to enable it at:

Code:

https://www.mydomain.com/folderx/

and

Code:

https://www.mydomain.com/folderx

Can anyone please help?

Thank you

 

It seems that i found two solutions:

Solution 1:

Code:

       location /folderx/ {
           limit_req zone=abclogin;
           limit_conn_zone=abcconlimit;
       }

and

Code:

       location /folderx {
           limit_req zone=abclogin;
           limit_conn_zone=abcconlimit;
       }

Solution 2:

If i want to set a custom limit for that zone something like:

Code:

       location /folderx/ {
           limit_req zone=abclogin burst=300 nodelay;
           limit_conn_zone=abcconlimit burst=40 nodelay;
       }

and

Code:

       location /folderx {
           limit_req zone=abclogin burst=300 nodelay;
           limit_conn_zone=abcconlimit burst=40 nodelay;
       }

Which one is the correct method or both can work and i should select what i want?

I would like your recommendations about my values also please.

Thank you

 

Thanks for your reply !

It seems that this should be ok for my case:

Code:

      location /folderx {
          limit_req zone=abclogin;
          limit_conn_zone=abcconlimit;
      }

as it will cover all paths starting from:

Code:

https://www.mydomain.com/folderx

Are these lines correct/accepted there?

Code:

        
limit_req zone=abclogin;
limit_conn_zone=abcconlimit;
