Filters
Select a subset of traffic using filters.
Speedscale provides the ability to filter traffic matching a pattern. Filters are used extensively by Speedscale during:
- Traffic collection - to eliminate repetitive or sensitive information like heartbeats, monitoring requests or PII
- Snapshot creation - to isolate a particular 3rd party service to mock or a test pattern
- Assertions - to tailor which tests are run for specific traffic patterns
info
The simplest way to build a forwarder filter is to assemble it in Traffic Viewer. Editing the JSON is a lot more work but you can check out the instructions here
Storage
Filters are stored in Speedscale cloud so they can be reused. Manipulate them directly using speedctl
commands like get
, put
and delete
. To configure the Forwarder to use a filter rule insert the filter's ID in the Operator or Forwarder's SPEEDSCALE_FILTER_RULE
environment variable.
