+##### Filtering gateway services
+
+Some possible ways to use the filter for gateway services (all these are done with the env var `KONG_SPEC_FILTER`):
+
+Ex1: "tag.Any() == \"spec_local_petstore.json\"" -> this will find all the services that have a tag as "spec_local_petstore.json"
+Ex2: "tag.discover.Exists()" -> this will find all tags that are equal to "discover"
+Note: while both ways can achieve the same functionality, the first one is preferred because it does not restrict you on character usages for Kong tags (note the dot in example 2)
+
+Currently, functionalities such as tag.Any().Contains() are not implemented in the SDK and only fully equal values are taken into account
+
 ##### URL specification paths
 
 The URL specification paths discovery method is configured by value(s) for the `KONG_SPEC_URLPATHS` variable, comma separated. When values are set here, and a local path is not set, The Kong agent will query each of these paths against the gateway service in order to find a specification file. Once a specification file is found none of the other configured URL paths will be queried as that specification file will be used in the creation of the API Service on Central.
