Sending Envoy Metrics to SkyWalking OAP Server Example

This is an example of sending Envoy Stats to SkyWalking OAP server through Metric Service.

Running the example

The example requires docker and docker-compose to be installed in your local. It fetches images from Docker Hub.

Note that in ths setup, we override the log4j2.xml config to set the org.apache.skywalking.oap.server.receiver.envoy logger level to DEBUG. This enables us to see the messages sent by Envoy to SkyWalking OAP server.

$ make up
$ docker-compose logs -f skywalking
$ # Please wait for a moment until SkyWalking is ready and Envoy starts sending the stats. You will see similar messages like the following:
