Stackdriver

Stackdriver

The stackdriver adapter enables Istio to deliver log, metric and traces to theStackdriver backend.

This adapter supports the metric template,the logentry template,and the tracespan template.

Params

Configuration format for the stackdriver adapter.

Field	Type	Description	Required

`pushInterval`	`Duration`	This adapter batches the data it sends to Stackdriver; we will push to stackdriver every push_interval.If no value is provided we default to once per minute.	No
`appCredentials`	`bool (oneof)`	Use Google’s Application Default Credentials to authorize calls madeby the StackDriver SDK. See Google’s documentation.	Yes
`apiKey`	`string (oneof)`	The API Key to be used for auth. API Key is no longer supported, use service account instead.	Yes
`serviceAccountPath`	`string (oneof)`	The path to a Google service account credential file, relative tothe Mixer. E.g. `/etc/opt/mixer/gcp-serviceaccount-creds.json`or `./testdata/my-test-account-creds.json`.	Yes

Params.LogInfo

Describes how to represent an Istio Log in Stackdriver.

Field	Type	Description	Required
`labelNames`	`string[]`	The logging template provides a set of variables; these list the subset of variables that should be used toform Stackdriver labels for the log entry.	No
`payloadTemplate`	`string`	A golang text/template template that will be executed to construct the payload for this log entry.It will be given the full set of variables for the log to use to construct its result.	No
`httpMapping`	`HttpRequestMapping`	If an HttpRequestMapping is provided, a HttpRequest object will be filled out for this log entry using thevariables named in the mapping to populate the fields of the request struct from the instance’s variables.	No
`sinkInfo`	`SinkInfo`	If SinkInfo is provided, Stackriver logs would be exported to that sink.	No

Params.LogInfo.HttpRequestMapping

Maps from template variable names to the various fields of Stackdriver’s HTTP request struct.See https://godoc.org/cloud.google.com/go/logging#HTTPRequest

Field	Type	Description	Required
`status`	`string`	template variable name to map into HTTPRequest.Status	No

Params.LogInfo.SinkInfo

Contains information about sink to export Stackdriver logs to.See https://godoc.org/cloud.google.com/go/logging/logadmin#Sink.Ex: If you want to export it to a GCS bucket, id would be a unique idetifier you want for the sink,destination would be the storage be name of GCS Storage bucket and filter would be user defined condition forfiltering logs. See below for a sample config:

id: 'info-errors-to-gcs'
destination: 'storage.googleapis.com/<bucket_name>'
filter: 'severity >= Default'

Field	Type	Description	Required
`id`	`string`	Client assigned sink identifier.	No
`destination`	`string`	Export Destination.	No
`filter`	`string`	Filter that specifies any filtering to be done on logs.	No
`UniqueWriterIdentity`	`bool`	Determines the kind of IAM identity returned as WriterIdentity in the newsink. If this value is omitted or set to false, and if the sink’s parent is aproject, then the value returned as WriterIdentity is the same group orservice account used by Stackdriver Logging before the addition of writeridentities to the API. The sink’s destination must be in the same project asthe sink itself. If this field is set to true, or if the sink is owned by a non-projectresource such as an organization, then the value of WriterIdentity willbe a unique service account used only for exports from the new sink.	No
`UpdateDestination`	`bool`	These fields apply only to UpdateSinkOpt calls. The corresponding sink fieldis updated if and only if the Update field is true.Upate sink destination.	No
`UpdateFilter`	`bool`	Update sink filter.	No
`UpdateIncludeChildren`	`bool`	Update includes children.	No

Params.MetricInfo

Describes how to represent an Istio metric in Stackdriver.See https://github.com/googleapis/googleapis/blob/master/google/api/metric.proto

Field	Type	Description	Required
`kind`	`MetricKind`	The kind of measurement for a metric, which describes how the data is reported. Ex: Gauge.	No
`value`	`ValueType`	The type of the metric’s value. Ex: Distribution.	No
`buckets`	`BucketsDefinition`	For metrics with a metric value of DISTRIBUTION, this provides a mechanismfor configuring the buckets that will be used to store the aggregated values.This field must be provided for metrics declared to be of type DISTRIBUTION.This field will be ignored for non-distribution metric kinds.	No
`metricType`	`string`	Stackdriver metric type name, e.g.istio.io/service/server/request_count. If this is not provided, aconcantenation of custom metric prefix (custom.googleapis.com/) andIstio metric name will be used.	No

Params.MetricInfo.BucketsDefinition

Describes buckets for DISTRIBUTION valued metrics.TODO: look into using google.api.distribution.proto instead - we would pull it in but it has a ton ofdependencies it doesn’t actually use.

Field	Type	Description	Required

`exponentialBuckets`	`Exponential (oneof)`	The exponential buckets.	Yes
`explicitBuckets`	`Explicit (oneof)`	The explicit buckets.	Yes

Params.MetricInfo.BucketsDefinition.Explicit

Specifies a set of buckets with arbitrary widths.

There are size(bounds) + 1 (= N) buckets. Bucket i has the followingboundaries:

Upper bound (0 <= i < N-1): bounds[i]
Lower bound (1 <= i < N): bounds[i - 1]

The bounds field must contain at least one element. If bounds hasonly one element, then there are no finite buckets, and that singleelement is the common boundary of the overflow and underflow buckets.

Field	Type	Description	Required
`bounds`	`double[]`	The values must be monotonically increasing.	No

Params.MetricInfo.BucketsDefinition.Exponential

Specifies an exponential sequence of buckets that have a width that isproportional to the value of the lower bound. Each bucket represents aconstant relative uncertainty on a specific value in the bucket.

There are num_finite_buckets + 2 (= N) buckets. The two additionalbuckets are the underflow and overflow buckets.

Bucket i has the following boundaries:

Upper bound (0 <= i < N-1): scale * (growth_factor ^ i)
Lower bound (1 <= i < N): scale * (growth_factor ^ (i - 1))

Field	Type	Description	Required
`numFiniteBuckets`	`int32`	Must be greater than 0.	No
`growthFactor`	`double`	Must be greater than 1.	No
`scale`	`double`	Must be greater than 0.	No

Params.MetricInfo.BucketsDefinition.Linear

Specifies a linear sequence of buckets that all have the same width(except overflow and underflow). Each bucket represents a constantabsolute uncertainty on the specific value in the bucket.

There are num_finite_buckets + 2 (= N) buckets. The two additionalbuckets are the underflow and overflow buckets.

Bucket i has the following boundaries:

Upper bound (0 <= i < N-1): offset + (width * i)
Lower bound (1 <= i < N): offset + (width * (i - 1))

Field	Type	Description	Required
`numFiniteBuckets`	`int32`	Must be greater than 0.	No
`width`	`double`	Must be greater than 0.	No
`offset`	`double`	Lower bound of the first bucket.	No

Field	Type	Description	Required
`sampleProbability`	`double`	Proability that a particular trace ID will be sampled.	No

`GAUGE`	An instantaneous measurement of a value.
`DELTA`	The change in a value during a time interval.
`CUMULATIVE`	A value accumulated over a time interval. Cumulativemeasurements in a time series should have the same start timeand increasing end times, until an event resets the cumulativevalue to zero and sets a new start time for the followingpoints.

google.api.MetricDescriptor.ValueType

The value type of a metric.

Name	Description
`VALUETYPE_UNSPECIFIED`	Do not use this default value.
`BOOL`	The value is a boolean.This value type can be used only if the metric kind is `GAUGE`.

`DOUBLE`	The value is a double precision floating point number.
`STRING`	The value is a text string.This value type can be used only if the metric kind is `GAUGE`.
