gRPC statistics¶
This extension may be referenced by the qualified name envoy.filters.http.grpc_stats
Note
This extension is functional but has not had substantial production burn time, use only with this caveat.
This extension has an unknown security posture and should only be used in deployments where both the downstream and upstream are trusted.
gRPC statistics filter configuration overview.
extensions.filters.http.grpc_stats.v3.FilterConfig¶
[extensions.filters.http.grpc_stats.v3.FilterConfig proto]
gRPC statistics filter configuration
{
"emit_filter_state": "...",
"individual_method_stats_allowlist": "{...}",
"stats_for_all_methods": "{...}"
}
- emit_filter_state
(bool) If true, the filter maintains a filter state object with the request and response message counts.
- individual_method_stats_allowlist
(config.core.v3.GrpcMethodList) If set, specifies an allowlist of service/methods that will have individual stats emitted for them. Any call that does not match the allowlist will be counted in a stat with no method specifier: cluster.<name>.grpc.*.
Only one of individual_method_stats_allowlist, stats_for_all_methods may be set.
- stats_for_all_methods
(BoolValue) If set to true, emit stats for all service/method names.
If set to false, emit stats for all service/message types to the same stats without including the service/method in the name, with prefix cluster.<name>.grpc. This can be useful if service/method granularity is not needed, or if each cluster only receives a single method.
Attention
This option is only safe if all clients are trusted. If this option is enabled with untrusted clients, the clients could cause unbounded growth in the number of stats in Envoy, using unbounded memory and potentially slowing down stats pipelines.
Attention
If neither individual_method_stats_allowlist nor stats_for_all_methods is set, the behavior will default to stats_for_all_methods=true. This default value is deprecated, and in a future release, if neither field is set, it will default to stats_for_all_methods=false in order to be safe by default. This behavior can be controlled with runtime override envoy.deprecated_features.grpc_stats_filter_enable_stats_for_all_methods_by_default.
Only one of individual_method_stats_allowlist, stats_for_all_methods may be set.
extensions.filters.http.grpc_stats.v3.FilterObject¶
[extensions.filters.http.grpc_stats.v3.FilterObject proto]
gRPC statistics filter state object in protobuf form.
{
"request_message_count": "...",
"response_message_count": "..."
}
- request_message_count
(uint64) Count of request messages in the request stream.
- response_message_count
(uint64) Count of response messages in the response stream.
