This message defines the standard attribute vocabulary for Google APIs.
An attribute is a piece of metadata that describes an activity on a network
service. For example, the size of an HTTP request, or the status code of
an HTTP response.
Each attribute has a type and a name, which is logically defined as
a proto message field in AttributeContext. The field type becomes the
attribute type, and the field path becomes the attribute name. For example,
the attribute source.ip maps to field AttributeContext.source.ip.
This message definition is guaranteed not to have any wire breaking change.
So you can use it directly for passing attributes across different systems.
NOTE: Different system may generate different subset of attributes. Please
verify the system specification before relying on an attribute generated
a system.
This message defines attributes associated with API operations, such as
a network API request. The terminology is based on the conventions used
by Google APIs, Istio, and OpenAPI.
This message defines request authentication attributes. Terminology is
based on the JSON Web Token (JWT) standard, but the terms also
correlate to concepts in other standards.
This message defines attributes for a node that handles a network request.
The node can be either a service or an application that sends, forwards,
or receives the request. Service peers should fill in
principal and labels as appropriate.
This message defines attributes for an HTTP request. If the actual
request is not an HTTP request, the runtime system should try to map
the actual request to an equivalent HTTP request.
This message defines core attributes for a resource. A resource is an
addressable (named) entity provided by the destination service. For
example, a file stored on a network storage service.
