Peer metadata provider filter. This filter encapsulates the discovery of the peer telemetry attributes for consumption by the telemetry filters.
DEPRECATED.
This method uses baggage
header encoding.
This method uses the workload metadata xDS. Requires that the bootstrap extension is enabled. For downstream discovery, the remote address is the lookup key in xDS. For upstream discovery:
If the upstream host address is an IP, this IP is used as the lookup key;
If the upstream host address is internal, uses the “filter_metadata.tunnel.destination” dynamic metadata value as the lookup key.
This method uses Istio HTTP metadata exchange headers, e.g. x-envoy-peer-metadata
. Removes these headers if found.
