If you think a bug is in fact a security vulnerability, please visit Reporting Security Vulnerabilities to learn what to do.

Kubernetes cluster state archives

If you’re running on Kubernetes, consider including a cluster state archive with your bug report. For convenience, you can run a dump script to produce an archive containing all of the relevant state from your Kubernetes cluster:

  • Run via curl:

    $ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/istio/istio/release-1.2/tools/dump_kubernetes.sh | sh -s -- -z
    
  • Run locally, from the release directory’s root:

    Zip
    $ @tools/dump_kubernetes.sh@ -z
    

Then attach the produced istio-dump.tar.gz with your reported problem.

If you are unable to use the dump script, please attach your own archive containing:

  • Pods, services, deployments, and endpoints across all namespaces:

    $ kubectl get pods,services,deployments,endpoints --all-namespaces -o yaml > k8s_resources.yaml
    
  • Secret names in istio-system:

    $ kubectl --namespace istio-system get secrets
    
  • configmaps in the istio-system namespace:

    $ kubectl --namespace istio-system get cm -o yaml
    
  • Current and previous logs from all Istio components and sidecar

  • Mixer logs:

    $ kubectl logs -n istio-system -l istio=mixer -c mixer
    $ kubectl logs -n istio-system -l istio=policy -c mixer
    $ kubectl logs -n istio-system -l istio=telemetry -c mixer
    
  • Pilot logs:

    $ kubectl logs -n istio-system -l istio=pilot -c discovery
    $ kubectl logs -n istio-system -l istio=pilot -c istio-proxy
    
  • All Istio configuration artifacts:

    $ kubectl get $(kubectl get crd  --no-headers | awk '{printf "%s,",$1}END{printf "attributemanifests.config.istio.io\n"}') --all-namespaces
