I'm trying to debug a mesh of services, with Envoy sat in the middle. The access logs are showing a lot of 503s, which vary in their %RESPONSE_FLAGS%. Other than the access logging docs, I can't find any explaination of what the flags actually mean.

Eg, pithily, NR means "I sent a 404 downstream, but not because upstream sent me one, but because I have no matching route, so I, envoy generated the 404". I'd love a one-liner like that for some of the other. Specially I'm struggling with (these all appear in our logs...)

  • UR vs UC - I think these are "I sent a 503 downstream because I connected upstream but then there was a subsequent problem". What problem? Specifically, what do remote reset vs connection termination mean?
  • LR connection local reset - what does this mean? Envoy sent a 503 downstream becuase it decided to stop talking to upstream, mid-way through? Why would it do that?
  • <no flag> - am I right in assuming that if there's an error code like 404 or 503 and no RESPONSE_FLAGS, that that code was sent by upstream and is just being forwarded?

From the source code below,

  • UR: UPSTREAM_REMOTE_RESET If a remote codec level reset was received on the stream.
  • UC: UPSTREAM_CONNECTION_TERMINATION If the stream was locally reset due to connection termination.
  • LR: If a local codec level reset was sent on the stream
/**
 * Stream reset reasons.
 */
enum class StreamResetReason {                                                                                                                                                                                                                                // If a local codec level reset was sent on the stream.
