Beschreibung
I've been experimenting with TCP traffic tapping of an upstream cluster. E.g.,:
"transport_socket": {
"name": "envoy.transport_sockets.tap",
"typed_config": {
"@type": "type.googleapis.com/envoy.extensions.transport_sockets.tap.v3.Tap",
"common_config": {
"admin_config": {
"config_id": "mtu.hserver-multi-tenant-upstream.cerberus"
}
},
"transport_socket": {
"name": "envoy.transport_sockets.tls"
}
}
},
This example uses the admin_config, but that's not important. My question concerns the static_config alternative as well. Continuing with the admin config example, however, if I post this document to the /tap endpoint, it captures traffic:
config_id: mtu.hserver-multi-tenant-upstream.cerberus
tap_config:
match:
any_match: true
output_config:
streaming: true
sinks:
- streaming_admin: {}
But if I post this document, with different match criteria, it never captures traffic, even when the header exists:
config_id: mtu.hserver-multi-tenant-upstream.cerberus
tap_config:
match:
http_request_headers_match:
headers:
- name: x-capture
present_match: true
output_config:
streaming: true
sinks:
- streaming_admin: {}
Possibly this is intentional. After all, I'm tapping at the TCP level, not the HTTP level. But the documentation doesn't say anything about matching (except for "any") not working when tapping at the TCP level. So I don't know if this is a bug or a documentation deficiency.
I tested with Envoy version
