ZooKeeper proxy

The ZooKeeper proxy filter decodes the client protocol for Apache ZooKeeper. It decodes the requests, responses and events in the payload. Most opcodes known in ZooKeeper 3.5 are supported. The unsupported ones are related to SASL authentication.

Attention

The zookeeper_proxy filter is experimental and is currently under active development. Capabilities will be expanded over time and the configuration structures are likely to change.

Configuration

The ZooKeeper proxy filter should be chained with the TCP proxy filter as shown in the configuration snippet below:

filter_chains:
- filters:
  - name: envoy.filters.network.zookeeper_proxy
    typed_config:
      "@type": type.googleapis.com/envoy.config.filter.network.zookeeper_proxy.v1alpha1.ZooKeeperProxy
      stat_prefix: zookeeper
  - name: envoy.filters.network.tcp_proxy
    typed_config:
      "@type": type.googleapis.com/envoy.config.filter.network.tcp_proxy.v2.TcpProxy
      stat_prefix: tcp
      cluster: ...
