| Forward X-Scope-OrgID Header | Boolean | true | true | When enabled, the incoming X-Scope-OrgID header is preserved. This is often required for multi-tenant authentication to work properly. | |
The pod’s IP address is retrieved by defining an environment variable MY_POD_IP from the pod’s status field status.podIP. You can access this value using ${env:MY_POD_IP} in your configuration to dynamically reference the pod’s IP at runtime.
