<p>Accesslog Policy plugin is a stateful http log sampler.
It decides whether a request is logged based on the following rules.</p>
<ol>
<li>All requests resulting in errors are logged.</li>
<li>First successful request within log_window_duration from a specific
source ip (source principal) is logged.
The plugin records its decision in the istio.access_log_policy attribute with
a value of &ldquo;no&rdquo;. A downstream plugin may honor the the attribute. For
example, Stackdriver plugin will not produce an access log entry if this
attribute is set.</li>
</ol>
