Lua filter

Lua

Lua is a global plugin that enables attaching a lua script at the global level.

Lua Filter Configuration

When HTTP request traffic hits GatewayHost, the function (envoy_on_request()) is invoked on the request path and the function envoy_on_response() is invoked on the response path.
