Goldmane Flows API

Goldmane is the Calico flow aggregation and network-observability service introduced in Calico Open Source 3.30. It exposes a gRPC API for querying aggregated flow data — List for point-in-time queries, Stream for a long-running stream of new flows, FilterHints for progressive discovery of filter criteria such as namespaces and source/destination names — plus statistics and flow-ingestion services. Tigera publishes the proto3 definition in the projectcalico/calico repository and documents it on the company blog.
