Microservices Engine:Enable a plug-in

Last Updated:Mar 11, 2026

Microservices Engine (MSE) provides a Plug-in Marketplace where you can browse and enable built-in plug-ins or custom plug-ins uploaded through your Alibaba Cloud account. The enablement process is the same for both built-in and custom plug-ins.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure that you have:

  • A common instance of a cloud-native gateway (serverless instances are not supported)

  • A gateway version that supports the Plug-in Marketplace feature. If the Plug-in Marketplace is not available in your gateway console, upgrade your MSE cloud-native gateway

Enable a plug-in for a gateway instance

  1. Log on to the MSE console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Cloud-native Gateway > Gateways.

  3. In the top navigation bar, select a region.

  4. On the Gateways page, click the name of the gateway.

  5. In the left-side navigation pane of the gateway details page, click Plug-in Marketplace.

  6. On the Plug-in Marketplace page, click the card of the plug-in that you want to enable.

  7. On the plug-in details page, click the Plug-in Configuration tab.

  8. Configure the plug-in:

    1. Select Instance-level plug-in rules.

    2. Turn off the Edit Locking switch.

    3. In the Whether it takes effect section, turn on the switch.

    4. Click Save.

After you save the configuration, the plug-in is enabled at the instance level for the selected gateway.
