SkyWalking is the first open source project introducing this ALS based solution to the world. This provides a new way with very low payload to service mesh, but the same observability.
You need three steps to open ALS.
1. Open envoyAccessLogService at istio. See [more](https://github.com/istio/istio/blob/22198bd29b224139b9614fe506e5c07716928031/install/kubernetes/helm/istio/values.yaml#L179)
1. Open envoyAccessLogService in istio by [enabling **envoyAccessLogService** in ProxyConfig](https://istio.io/docs/reference/config/istio.mesh.v1alpha1/#ProxyConfig).
2. Open SkyWalking [envoy receiver](../backend/backend-receivers.md).
3. Active ALS k8s-mesh analysis

Notice, only use this when using envoy under Istio controlled.
Otherwise, you need to implement your own `ALSHTTPAnalysis` and register it to receiver.

Notice, only use this when envoy under Istio controlled, also in k8s env.
