About reporting-client

reporting is an internal service at Solo.io that we use to check version information, broadcast security bulletins, etc.

We understand that software making remote calls over the internet for any reason can be undesirable. Because of this, reporting-client can be disabled in all of our software that includes it. You can view the source of this client to see that we're not sending any private information.

If you would like to disable this functionality, you can set the following environment variables:

• USAGE_REPORTING_DISABLE -> "true": This disables the reporting of usage statistics like total number of requests handled by Envoy, number of active Envoy instances, etc. For Gloo, we start up this client in the gloo pod, so set this var on that pod.

Note: This repository is probably useless outside of internal Solo.io use. It is open source for disclosure and because our open source projects must be able to link to it.

Local testing

main.go starts up a client that reports every two seconds to an instance of reporting-server (the closed-source server that receives these reports) running on localhost:3000. Do go run main.go
