Locality

Identifies location of where either Envoy runs or where upstream hosts run.

"region": string
"zone": string
"subZone": string

Field Type Description
region string Region this zone (envoy_api_field_core.Locality.zone) belongs to.
zone string Defines the local service zone where Envoy is running. Though optional, it should be set if discovery service routing is used and the discovery service exposes zone data (envoy_api_field_endpoint.LocalityLbEndpoints.locality), either in this message or via :option:--service-zone. The meaning of zone is context dependent, e.g. Availability Zone (AZ) <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using-regions-availability-zones.html>_ on AWS, Zone <https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/regions-zones/>_ on GCP, etc.
subZone string When used for locality of upstream hosts, this field further splits zone into smaller chunks of sub-zones so they can be load balanced independently.

BuildVersion

BuildVersion combines SemVer version of extension with free-form build information (i.e. ‘alpha’, ‘private-build’) as a set of strings.

"version": .solo.io.envoy.type.SemanticVersion
"metadata": .google.protobuf.Struct

Field Type Description
version .solo.io.envoy.type.SemanticVersion SemVer version of extension.
metadata .google.protobuf.Struct Free-form build information. Envoy defines several well known keys in the source/common/version/version.h file.

Extension

Version and identification for an Envoy extension. [#next-free-field: 6]

"name": string
"category": string
"typeDescriptor": string
"version": .solo.io.envoy.api.v2.core.BuildVersion
"disabled": bool

Field Type Description
name string This is the name of the Envoy filter as specified in the Envoy configuration, e.g. envoy.filters.http.router, com.acme.widget.
category string Category of the extension. Extension category names use reverse DNS notation. For instance “envoy.filters.listener” for Envoy’s built-in listener filters or “com.acme.filters.http” for HTTP filters from acme.com vendor. [#comment:TODO(yanavlasov): Link to the doc with existing envoy category names.].
typeDescriptor string [#not-implemented-hide:] Type descriptor of extension configuration proto. [#comment:TODO(yanavlasov): Link to the doc with existing configuration protos.] [#comment:TODO(yanavlasov): Add tests when PR #9391 lands.].
version .solo.io.envoy.api.v2.core.BuildVersion The version is a property of the extension and maintained independently of other extensions and the Envoy API. This field is not set when extension did not provide version information.
disabled bool Indicates that the extension is present but was disabled via dynamic configuration.

Node

Identifies a specific Envoy instance. The node identifier is presented to the management server, which may use this identifier to distinguish per Envoy configuration for serving. [#next-free-field: 12]

"id": string
"cluster": string
"metadata": .google.protobuf.Struct
"locality": .solo.io.envoy.api.v2.core.Locality
"buildVersion": string
"userAgentName": string
"userAgentVersion": string
"userAgentBuildVersion": .solo.io.envoy.api.v2.core.BuildVersion
"extensions": []solo.io.envoy.api.v2.core.Extension
"clientFeatures": []string
"listeningAddresses": []solo.io.envoy.api.v2.core.Address

Field Type Description
id string An opaque node identifier for the Envoy node. This also provides the local service node name. It should be set if any of the following features are used: :ref:statsd <arch_overview_statistics>, :ref:CDS <config_cluster_manager_cds>, and :ref:HTTP tracing <arch_overview_tracing>, either in this message or via :option:--service-node.
cluster string Defines the local service cluster name where Envoy is running. Though optional, it should be set if any of the following features are used: :ref:statsd <arch_overview_statistics>, :ref:health check cluster verification <envoy_api_field_core.HealthCheck.HttpHealthCheck.service_name_matcher>, :ref:runtime override directory <envoy_api_msg_config.bootstrap.v2.Runtime>, :ref:user agent addition <envoy_api_field_config.filter.network.http_connection_manager.v2.HttpConnectionManager.add_user_agent>, :ref:HTTP global rate limiting <config_http_filters_rate_limit>, :ref:CDS <config_cluster_manager_cds>, and :ref:HTTP tracing <arch_overview_tracing>, either in this message or via :option:--service-cluster.
metadata .google.protobuf.Struct Opaque metadata extending the node identifier. Envoy will pass this directly to the management server.
locality .solo.io.envoy.api.v2.core.Locality Locality specifying where the Envoy instance is running.
buildVersion string This is motivated by informing a management server during canary which version of Envoy is being tested in a heterogeneous fleet. This will be set by Envoy in management server RPCs. This field is deprecated in favor of the user_agent_name and user_agent_version values.
userAgentName string Free-form string that identifies the entity requesting config. E.g. “envoy” or “grpc”.
userAgentVersion string Free-form string that identifies the version of the entity requesting config. E.g. “1.12.2” or “abcd1234”, or “SpecialEnvoyBuild”. Only one of userAgentVersion or userAgentBuildVersion can be set.
userAgentBuildVersion .solo.io.envoy.api.v2.core.BuildVersion Structured version of the entity requesting config. Only one of userAgentBuildVersion or userAgentVersion can be set.
extensions []solo.io.envoy.api.v2.core.Extension List of extensions and their versions supported by the node.
clientFeatures []string Client feature support list. These are well known features described in the Envoy API repository for a given major version of an API. Client features use reverse DNS naming scheme, for example com.acme.feature. See :ref:the list of features <client_features> that xDS client may support.
listeningAddresses []solo.io.envoy.api.v2.core.Address Known listening ports on the node as a generic hint to the management server for filtering :ref:listeners <config_listeners> to be returned. For example, if there is a listener bound to port 80, the list can optionally contain the SocketAddress (0.0.0.0,80). The field is optional and just a hint.

Metadata

Metadata provides additional inputs to filters based on matched listeners, filter chains, routes and endpoints. It is structured as a map, usually from filter name (in reverse DNS format) to metadata specific to the filter. Metadata key-values for a filter are merged as connection and request handling occurs, with later values for the same key overriding earlier values.

An example use of metadata is providing additional values to http_connection_manager in the envoy.http_connection_manager.access_log namespace.

Another example use of metadata is to per service config info in cluster metadata, which may get consumed by multiple filters.

For load balancing, Metadata provides a means to subset cluster endpoints. Endpoints have a Metadata object associated and routes contain a Metadata object to match against. There are some well defined metadata used today for this purpose:

"filterMetadata": map<string, .google.protobuf.Struct>

Field Type Description
filterMetadata map<string, .google.protobuf.Struct> Key is the reverse DNS filter name, e.g. com.acme.widget. The envoy.* namespace is reserved for Envoy’s built-in filters.

HeaderValue

HeaderValueOption

Header name/value pair plus option to control append behavior.

"header": .solo.io.envoy.api.v2.core.HeaderValue

ControlPlane

Identifies a specific ControlPlane instance that Envoy is connected to.

"identifier": string

Field Type Description
identifier string An opaque control plane identifier that uniquely identifies an instance of control plane. This can be used to identify which control plane instance, the Envoy is connected to.

RoutingPriority

Description: Envoy supports upstream priority routing (arch_overview_http_routing_priority) both at the route and the virtual cluster level. The current priority implementation uses different connection pool and circuit breaking settings for each priority level. This means that even for HTTP/2 requests, two physical connections will be used to an upstream host. In the future Envoy will likely support true HTTP/2 priority over a single upstream connection.

Name Description
DEFAULT
HIGH

Name Description
METHOD_UNSPECIFIED
GET
HEAD
POST
PUT
DELETE
CONNECT
OPTIONS
TRACE
PATCH

TrafficDirection

Description: Identifies the direction of the traffic relative to the local Envoy.

Name Description
UNSPECIFIED Default option is unspecified.
INBOUND The transport is used for incoming traffic.
OUTBOUND The transport is used for outgoing traffic.
