istioctl bug-report

bug-report selectively captures cluster information and logs into an archive to help diagnose problems. Proxy logs can be filtered using: --include|--exclude ns1,ns2.../dep1,dep2.../pod1,pod2.../lbl1=val1,lbl2=val2.../ann1=val1,ann2=val2.../cntr1,cntr... where ns=namespace, dep=deployment, lbl=label, ann=annotation, cntr=container

The filter spec is interpreted as 'must be in (ns1 OR ns2) AND (dep1 OR dep2) AND (cntr1 OR cntr2)...' The log will be included only if the container matches at least one include filter and does not match any exclude filters. All parts of the filter are optional and can be omitted e.g. ns1//pod1 filters only for namespace ns1 and pod1. All names except label and annotation keys support '*' glob matching pattern.

e.g. --include ns1,ns2 (only namespaces ns1 and ns2) --include n*//p*/l=v* (pods with name beginning with 'p' in namespaces beginning with 'n' and having label 'l' with value beginning with 'v'.)

istioctl experimental metrics

Prints the metrics for the specified service(s) when running in Kubernetes.

This command finds a Prometheus pod running in the specified istio system namespace. It then executes a series of queries per requested workload to find the following top-level workload metrics: total requests per second, error rate, and request latency at p50, p90, and p99 percentiles. The query results are printed to the console, organized by workload name.

All metrics returned are from server-side reports. This means that latencies and error rates are from the perspective of the service itself and not of an individual client (or aggregate set of clients). Rates and latencies are calculated over a time interval of 1 minute.

istioctl kube-inject

kube-inject manually injects the Istio sidecar into Kubernetes workloads.

istioctl tag

Command group used to interact with revision tags. Revision tags allow for the creation of mutable aliases referring to control plane revisions for sidecar injection.

With revision tags, rather than relabeling a namespace from "istio.io/rev=revision-a" to "istio.io/rev=revision-b" to change which control plane revision handles injection, it's possible to create a revision tag "prod" and label our namespace "istio.io/rev=prod". The "prod" revision tag could point to "1-7-6" initially and then be changed to point to "1-8-1" at some later point.

This allows operators to change which Istio control plane revision should handle injection for a namespace or set of namespaces without manual relabeling of the "istio.io/rev" tag.

Variable NameTypeDefault ValueDescription
AMBIENT_ENABLE_MULTI_NETWORKBooleanfalseIf true, the multi-network functionality will be enabled.
AMBIENT_ENABLE_STATUSBooleanfalseIf enabled, status messages for ambient mode will be written to resources. Currently, this does not do leader election, so may be unsafe to enable with multiple replicas.
BYPASS_OVERLOAD_MANAGER_FOR_STATIC_LISTENERSBooleantrueIf enabled, overload manager will not be applied to static listeners
CA_TRUSTED_NODE_ACCOUNTSStringIf set, the list of service accounts that are allowed to use node authentication for CSRs. Node authentication allows an identity to create CSRs on behalf of other identities, but only if there is a pod running on the same node with that identity. This is intended for use with node proxies.

COMPLIANCE_POLICYStringIf set, applies policy-specific restrictions over all existing TLS settings, including in-mesh mTLS and external TLS. Valid values are: * '' or unset places no additional restrictions. * 'fips-140-2' which enforces a version of the TLS protocol and a subset of cipher suites overriding any user preferences or defaults for all runtime components, including Envoy, gRPC Go SDK, and gRPC C++ SDK. WARNING: Setting compliance policy in the control plane is a necessary but not a sufficient requirement to achieve compliance. There are additional steps necessary to claim compliance, including using the validated cryptograhic modules (please consult https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/intro/arch_overview/security/ssl#fips-140-2).
ENABLE_100_CONTINUE_HEADERSBooleantrueIf enabled, istiod will proxy 100-continue headers as is

ENABLE_MCS_CLUSTER_LOCALBooleanfalseIf enabled, istiod will treat the host `<svc>.<namespace>.svc.cluster.local` as defined by the Kubernetes Multi-Cluster Services (MCS) spec. In this mode, requests to `cluster.local` will be routed to only those endpoints residing within the same cluster as the client. Requires that both ENABLE_MCS_SERVICE_DISCOVERY and ENABLE_MCS_HOST also be enabled.
ENABLE_MCS_HOSTBooleanfalseIf enabled, istiod will configure a Kubernetes Multi-Cluster Services (MCS) host (<svc>.<namespace>.svc.clusterset.local) for each service exported (via ServiceExport) in at least one cluster. Clients must, however, be able to successfully lookup these DNS hosts. That means that either Istio DNS interception must be enabled or an MCS controller must be used. Requires that ENABLE_MCS_SERVICE_DISCOVERY also be enabled.
ENABLE_MCS_SERVICE_DISCOVERYBooleanfalseIf enabled, istiod will enable Kubernetes Multi-Cluster Services (MCS) service discovery mode. In this mode, service endpoints in a cluster will only be discoverable within the same cluster unless explicitly exported via ServiceExport.

Other values will not not generate TLS certs, but still distribute ./etc/certs/root-cert.pem. Only used if custom certificates are not mounted.
PILOT_CONVERT_SIDECAR_SCOPE_CONCURRENCYInteger1Used to adjust the concurrency of SidecarScope conversions. When istiod is deployed on a multi-core CPU server, increasing this value will help to use the CPU to accelerate configuration push, but it also means that istiod will consume more CPU resources.
