.. _arch_overview_load_reporting_service: Load Reporting Service (LRS) ============================ The Load Reporting Service provides a mechanism by which Envoy can emit Load Reports to a management server at a regular cadence. This will initiate a bi-directional stream with a management server. Upon connecting, the management server can send a :ref:`LoadStatsResponse ` to a node it is interested in getting the load reports for. Envoy in this node will start sending :ref:`LoadStatsRequest `. This is done periodically based on the :ref:`load reporting interval ` Envoy config with LRS can be found at :repo:`/examples/load-reporting-service/service-envoy-w-lrs.yaml`.
