"stat_prefix": ...,

"filters": [],
"tracing": {...}
}
- stat_prefix
(string, REQUIRED) The human readable prefix to use when emitting statistics.
- codec_config
(config.core.v3.TypedExtensionConfig, REQUIRED) The codec which encodes and decodes the application protocol.
- generic_rds
(extensions.filters.network.generic_proxy.v3.GenericRds) The generic proxies route table will be dynamically loaded via the meta RDS API.
Precisely one of generic_rds, route_config must be set.
- route_config
(extensions.filters.network.generic_proxy.v3.RouteConfiguration) The route table for the generic proxy is static and is specified in this property.
Precisely one of generic_rds, route_config must be set.
- filters
(repeated config.core.v3.TypedExtensionConfig) A list of individual Layer-7 filters that make up the filter chain for requests made to the proxy. Order matters as the filters are processed sequentially as request events happen.
- tracing
(extensions.filters.network.http_connection_manager.v3.HttpConnectionManager.Tracing) Tracing configuration for the generic proxy.

{
"config_source": {...},
"route_config_name": ...
}
- config_source
(config.core.v3.ConfigSource, REQUIRED) Configuration source specifier for RDS.
- route_config_name
(string, REQUIRED) The name of the route configuration. This name will be passed to the RDS API. This allows an Envoy configuration with multiple generic proxies to use different route configurations.
