Version
Protocol buffer schema definition of the Falco gRPC Version APIs
The gRPC Output as well as the embedded gRPC server have been deprecated in Falco 0.43.0 and will be removed in a
future release. Until removal and since Falco 0.43.0, using any of them will result in a warning informing the user
about the deprecation. Users are encouraged to leverage another output and/or Falcosidekick, as the usage will result
in an error after the removal.
