Describes the configuration state for the Mixer client library that’s built into Envoy.
APIKey
APIKey defines the explicit configuration for generating the
request.api_key
attribute from HTTP requests.
See API Keys
for a general overview of API keys as defined by OpenAPI.
Field |
Type |
Description |
query |
string (oneof) |
API Key is sent as a query parameter. query represents the
query string parameter name.
For example, query=api_key should be used with the
following request:
GET /something?api_key=abcdef12345
|
cookie |
string (oneof) |
API key is sent in a
cookie,
For example, cookie=X-API-KEY should be used for the
following request:
GET /something HTTP/1.1
Cookie: X-API-KEY=abcdef12345
|
AttributeMatch
Specifies a match clause to match Istio attributes
Field |
Type |
Description |
clause |
map<string, StringMatch> |
Map of attribute names to StringMatch type.
Each map element specifies one condition to match.
Example:
clause:
source.uid:
exact: SOURCEUID
request.httpmethod:
exact: POST
|
HTTPAPISpec
HTTPAPISpec defines the canonical configuration for generating
API-related attributes from HTTP requests based on the method and
uri templated path matches. It is sufficient for defining the API
surface of a service for the purposes of API attribute
generation. It is not intended to represent auth, quota,
documentation, or other information commonly found in other API
specifications, e.g. OpenAPI.
Existing standards that define operations (or methods) in terms of
HTTP methods and paths can be normalized to this format for use in
Istio. For example, a simple petstore API described by OpenAPIv2
here
can be represented with the following HTTPAPISpec.
apiVersion: config.istio.io/v1alpha2
kind: HTTPAPISpec
metadata:
name: petstore
namespace: default
spec:
attributes:
attributes:
api.service:
stringValue: petstore.swagger.io
api.version:

Field |
Type |
Description |
attributes |
istio.mixer.v1.Attributes |
List of attributes that are generated when any of the HTTP
patterns match. This list typically includes the “api.service”
and “api.version” attributes.
|
patterns |
HTTPAPISpecPattern[] |
List of HTTP patterns to match.
|
apiKeys |
APIKey[] |
List of APIKey that describes how to extract an API-KEY from an
HTTP request. The first API-Key match found in the list is used,
i.e. ‘OR’ semantics.
The following default policies are used to generate the
request.api_key attribute if no explicit APIKey is defined.
`query: key, `query: api_key`, and then `header: x-api-key`
|
HTTPAPISpecBinding
HTTPAPISpecBinding defines the binding between HTTPAPISpecs and one or more
IstioService. For example, the following establishes a binding
between the HTTPAPISpec petstore
and service foo
in namespace bar
.

HTTPAPISpecPattern
HTTPAPISpecPattern defines a single pattern to match against
incoming HTTP requests. The per-pattern list of attributes is
generated if both the httpmethod and uritemplate match. In
addition, the top-level list of attributes in the HTTPAPISpec is also
generated.

servers. Defaults to “mixer_server”. By using different names for
checkCluster and reportCluster, it is possible to have one set of
Mixer servers handle check calls, while another set of Mixer servers
handle report calls.
NOTE: Any value other than the default “mixer_server” will require the
Istio Grafana dashboards to be reconfigured to use the new name.
|
reportCluster |

Name of the cluster that will forward report calls to a pool of mixer
servers. Defaults to “mixer_server”. By using different names for
checkCluster and reportCluster, it is possible to have one set of

handle report calls.
NOTE: Any value other than the default “mixer_server” will require the
Istio Grafana dashboards to be reconfigured to use the new name.

Default attributes to forward to Mixer upstream. This typically
includes the “source.ip” and “source.uid” attributes. These
attributes are consumed by the proxy in front of mixer.
|
reportBatchMaxEntries |
uint32 |
When disablereportbatch is false, this value specifies the maximum number
of requests that are batched in report. If left unspecified, the default value
of reportbatchmax_entries == 0 will use the hardcoded defaults of
istio::mixerclient::ReportOptions.
|
reportBatchMaxTime |
google.protobuf.Duration |
When disablereportbatch is false, this value specifies the maximum elapsed
time a batched report will be sent after a user request is processed. If left
unspecified, the default reportbatchmax_time == 0 will use the hardcoded
defaults of istio::mixerclient::ReportOptions.
|
istio.mixer.v1.Attributes
Attributes represents a set of typed name/value pairs. Many of Mixer’s
API either consume and/or return attributes.
Istio uses attributes to control the runtime behavior of services running in the service mesh.
Attributes are named and typed pieces of metadata describing ingress and egress traffic and the
environment this traffic occurs in. An Istio attribute carries a specific piece
of information such as the error code of an API request, the latency of an API request, or the
original IP address of a TCP connection. For example:
request.path: xyz/abc
request.size: 234
request.time: 12:34:56.789 04/17/2017
source.ip: 192.168.0.1
target.service: example
A given Istio deployment has a fixed vocabulary of attributes that it understands.
The specific vocabulary is determined by the set of attribute producers being used
in the deployment. The primary attribute producer in Istio is Envoy, although
specialized Mixer adapters and services can also generate attributes.
The common baseline set of attributes available in most Istio deployments is defined
here.
Attributes are strongly typed. The supported attribute types are defined by
ValueType.
Each type of value is encoded into one of the so-called transport types present
in this message.
Defines a map of attributes in uncompressed format.
Following places may use this message:
1) Configure Istio/Proxy with static per-proxy attributes, such as source.uid.
2) Service IDL definition to extract api attributes for active requests.
3) Forward attributes from client proxy to server proxy for HTTP requests.
