External Authorization filter calls out to an external service over the gRPC Authorization API defined by :ref:`CheckRequest <envoy_api_msg_service.auth.v2.CheckRequest>`. A failed check will cause this filter to close the TCP connection.

• string stat_prefix = 1

  The prefix to use when emitting statistics.

• optional api.v2.core.GrpcService grpc_service = 2

  The external authorization gRPC service configuration. The default timeout is set to 200ms by this filter.

• bool failure_mode_allow = 3

  The filter's behaviour in case the external authorization service does not respond back. When it is set to true, Envoy will also allow traffic in case of communication failure between authorization service and the proxy. Defaults to false.

• bool include_peer_certificate = 4

  Specifies if the peer certificate is sent to the external service. When this field is true, Envoy will include the peer X.509 certificate, if available, in the :ref:`certificate<envoy_api_field_service.auth.v2.AttributeContext.Peer.certificate>`.
