  "attachment_poll_period": "{...}"
}

cluster

(string, REQUIRED) The name of the cluster that hosts the Squash server.

attachment_template

(Struct) When the filter requests the Squash server to create a DebugAttachment, it will use this structure as template for the body of the request. It can contain reference to environment variables in the form of ‘{{ ENV_VAR_NAME }}’. These can be used to provide the Squash server with more information to find the process to attach the debugger to. For example, in a Istio/k8s environment, this will contain information on the pod:

{
  "spec": {
    "attachment": {
      "pod": "{{ POD_NAME }}",
      "namespace": "{{ POD_NAMESPACE }}"
    },
    "match_request": true
  }
}

(where POD_NAME, POD_NAMESPACE are configured in the pod via the Downward API)

request_timeout

(Duration) The timeout for individual requests sent to the Squash cluster. Defaults to 1 second.

attachment_timeout

(Duration) The total timeout Squash will delay a request and wait for it to be attached. Defaults to 60 seconds.

attachment_poll_period

(Duration) Amount of time to poll for the status of the attachment object in the Squash server (to check if has been attached). Defaults to 1 second.
