| endpoint |string| 0.0.0.0:4317 | Endpoint configures the address for this network connection. For TCP and UDP networks, the address has the form "host:port". The host must be a literal IP address, or a host name that can be resolved to IP addresses. The port must be a literal port number or a service name. If the host is a literal IPv6 address it must be enclosed in square brackets, as in "[2001:db8::1]:80" or "[fe80::1%zone]:80". The zone specifies the scope of the literal IPv6 address as defined in RFC 4007.  |
| transport |string| tcp | Transport to use. Known protocols are "tcp", "tcp4" (IPv4-only), "tcp6" (IPv6-only), "udp", "udp4" (IPv4-only), "udp6" (IPv6-only), "ip", "ip4" (IPv4-only), "ip6" (IPv6-only), "unix", "unixgram" and "unixpacket".  |
| tls |[configtls-TLSServerSetting](#configtls-TLSServerSetting)| <no value> | Configures the protocol to use TLS. The default value is nil, which will cause the protocol to not use TLS.  |
| max_recv_msg_size_mib |uint64| <no value> | MaxRecvMsgSizeMiB sets the maximum size (in MiB) of messages accepted by the server.  |
| max_concurrent_streams |uint32| <no value> | MaxConcurrentStreams sets the limit on the number of concurrent streams to each ServerTransport. It has effect only for streaming RPCs.  |
| read_buffer_size |int| 524288 | ReadBufferSize for gRPC server. See grpc.ReadBufferSize (https://godoc.org/google.golang.org/grpc#ReadBufferSize).  |
| write_buffer_size |int| <no value> | WriteBufferSize for gRPC server. See grpc.WriteBufferSize (https://godoc.org/google.golang.org/grpc#WriteBufferSize).  |

| auth |[configauth-Authentication](#configauth-Authentication)| <no value> | Auth for this receiver  |

### configtls-TLSServerSetting

| Name | Type | Default | Docs |
| ---- | ---- | ------- | ---- |
| ca_file |string| <no value> | Path to the CA cert. For a client this verifies the server certificate. For a server this verifies client certificates. If empty uses system root CA. (optional)  |
| cert_file |string| <no value> | Path to the TLS cert to use for TLS required connections. (optional)  |
| key_file |string| <no value> | Path to the TLS key to use for TLS required connections. (optional)  |
| client_ca_file |string| <no value> | Path to the TLS cert to use by the server to verify a client certificate. (optional) This sets the ClientCAs and ClientAuth to RequireAndVerifyClientCert in the TLSConfig. Please refer to https://godoc.org/crypto/tls#Config for more information. (optional)  |

### configgrpc-KeepaliveServerConfig

| Name | Type | Default | Docs |
| ---- | ---- | ------- | ---- |
| server_parameters |[configgrpc-KeepaliveServerParameters](#configgrpc-KeepaliveServerParameters)| <no value> | KeepaliveServerParameters allow configuration of the keepalive.ServerParameters. The same default values as keepalive.ServerParameters are applicable and get applied by the server. See https://godoc.org/google.golang.org/grpc/keepalive#ServerParameters for details.  |
| enforcement_policy |[configgrpc-KeepaliveEnforcementPolicy](#configgrpc-KeepaliveEnforcementPolicy)| <no value> | KeepaliveEnforcementPolicy allow configuration of the keepalive.EnforcementPolicy. The same default values as keepalive.EnforcementPolicy are applicable and get applied by the server. See https://godoc.org/google.golang.org/grpc/keepalive#EnforcementPolicy for details.  |
