7.3.3. Plugin service proxy

If you need to make HTTP requests to an in-cluster service from your plugin, you can declare a service proxy in its ConsolePlugin resource by using the spec.proxy array field. The console backend exposes the /api/proxy/plugin/<plugin-name>/<proxy-alias>/<request-path>?<optional-query-parameters> endpoint to proxy the communication between the plugin and the service. A proxied request uses a service CA bundle by default. The service must use HTTPS.

For each entry, you must specify an endpoint and alias of the proxy under the endpoint and alias fields. For the Service proxy type, you must set the endpoint type field to Service and the service must include values for the name, namespace, and port fields. For example, /api/proxy/plugin/helm/helm-charts/releases?limit=10 is a proxy request path from the helm plugin with a helm-charts service that lists ten helm releases.
