SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Configure and centralize telemetry for Envoy Gateway by enabling access logging, metrics, and distributed tracing across environments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Configures EnvoyProxy telemetry settings (accessLog, metrics, tracing) and supports OpenTelemetry, Zipkin, and Datadog sinks.
  • Provides guidance for linking EnvoyProxy telemetry to GatewayClass or Gateway infrastructure and for enabling controller and proxy debug logging.
  • Supports end-to-end observability workflows for production environments, including per-event tracing, log aggregation, and metrics collection.

Quick Start

Apply the EnvoyProxy telemetry configuration to enable access logging, metrics, and tracing for your Envoy Gateway deployment.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure Envoy Gateway observability for access logging, metrics, and tracing?

You can configure Envoy Gateway telemetry by applying an EnvoyProxy resource that centralizes access logging, metrics, and distributed tracing for gateways, listeners, and the control plane in Kubernetes clusters.

What telemetry backends does Envoy Gateway support for distributed tracing?

Envoy Gateway telemetry supports OpenTelemetry, Zipkin, and Datadog backends for distributed tracing and metrics collection, sending logs to files or OTLP endpoints via configured sinks.

Can I use Envoy Gateway telemetry configuration in a Kubernetes production environment?

Yes, Envoy Gateway telemetry configuration applies to Kubernetes clusters and supports end-to-end observability workflows for production environments, including per-event tracing, log aggregation, and metrics collection.

How do I link EnvoyProxy telemetry settings to a specific Gateway or GatewayClass?

You link EnvoyProxy telemetry settings by binding the EnvoyProxy resource to a GatewayClass or Gateway infrastructure, enabling consistent telemetry configuration and debug logging across your environments.

Does Envoy Gateway telemetry support sending logs to OTLP endpoints?

Yes, Envoy Gateway telemetry supports sending logs to OTLP endpoints via sinks and can also send access logs to files, allowing flexible log aggregation within your observability workflow.

How do I enable controller and proxy debug logging for Envoy Gateway?

You enable controller and proxy debug logging for Envoy Gateway by applying the EnvoyProxy telemetry configuration, which provides guidance for activating debug logging alongside access logs and metrics collection.
