# Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Diagnosis
|
||||
|
||||
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Quick Fix | Details |
|
||||
|---------|-------------|-----------|---------|
|
||||

||||
## Diagnostic Commands
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Health Check
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Verify Polaris is running
|
||||
kubectl -n polaris get pods
|
||||
kubectl -n polaris get svc polaris-dashboard
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Test Polaris API access
|
||||
kubectl get --raw /api/v1/namespaces/polaris/services/polaris-dashboard:80/proxy/results.json | jq .PolarisOutputVersion
|
||||
|
||||
# Expected output: "1.0" or similar
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Verify RBAC permissions
|
||||
kubectl auth can-i get services/proxy \
|
||||
--as=system:serviceaccount:kube-system:headlamp \
|
||||
-n polaris \
|
||||
--resource-name=polaris-dashboard
|
||||
|
||||
# Expected output: yes
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Check Headlamp pod is running
|
||||
kubectl -n kube-system get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/name=headlamp
|
||||
|
||||
# 5. Check Headlamp logs for plugin errors
|
||||
kubectl -n kube-system logs deployment/headlamp | grep -i polaris
|
||||
|
||||
# Expected: No errors
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Plugin Loading Verification
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check Headlamp config
|
||||
kubectl -n kube-system get configmap headlamp -o yaml | grep watchPlugins
|
||||
|
||||
# Expected: watchPlugins: "false"
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify plugin files exist
|
||||
kubectl -n kube-system exec deployment/headlamp -c headlamp -- \
|
||||
ls -la /headlamp/plugins/headlamp-polaris-plugin/
|
||||
|
||||
# Expected output:
|
||||
# drwxr-xr-x dist/
|
||||
# -rw-r--r-- package.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### RBAC Verification
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check Role exists
|
||||
kubectl -n polaris get role polaris-proxy-reader
|
||||
|
||||
# Check RoleBinding exists
|
||||
kubectl -n polaris get rolebinding headlamp-polaris-proxy
|
||||
|
||||
# Test permission (service account mode)
|
||||
kubectl auth can-i get services/proxy \
|
||||
--as=system:serviceaccount:kube-system:headlamp \
|
||||
-n polaris \
|
||||
--resource-name=polaris-dashboard
|
||||
|
||||
# Test permission (user token mode, replace with your user)
|
||||
kubectl auth can-i get services/proxy \
|
||||
--as=user@example.com \
|
||||
-n polaris \
|
||||
--resource-name=polaris-dashboard
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Network Debugging
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Test from kubectl (uses same service proxy)
|
||||
kubectl get --raw /api/v1/namespaces/polaris/services/polaris-dashboard:80/proxy/results.json
|
||||
|
||||
# Check NetworkPolicies
|
||||
kubectl -n polaris get networkpolicy
|
||||
|
||||
# Test direct service access (from within cluster)
|
||||
kubectl run -it --rm debug --image=curlimages/curl --restart=Never -- \
|
||||
curl http://polaris-dashboard.polaris/results.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Browser Debugging
|
||||
|
||||
### Check Browser Console
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open browser DevTools (F12)
|
||||
2. Go to **Console** tab
|
||||
3. Look for errors containing "polaris" or "plugin"
|
||||
|
||||
**Common errors:**
|
||||
- `createSvgIcon is not defined` → MUI import issue (plugin bug)
|
||||
- `403 Forbidden` → RBAC permission denied
|
||||
- `404 Not Found` → Polaris not installed or wrong URL
|
||||
- `Failed to fetch` → Network policy or CORS issue
|
||||
|
||||
### Clear Browser Cache
|
||||
|
||||
**Critical:** After plugin updates, hard refresh to clear cached JavaScript:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Mac:** Cmd+Shift+R
|
||||
- **Windows/Linux:** Ctrl+Shift+R
|
||||
- **Alternatively:** Clear all browser data for Headlamp URL
|
||||
|
||||
### Check localStorage
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// Open browser console and run:
|
||||
localStorage.getItem('polaris-plugin-refresh-interval')
|
||||
localStorage.getItem('polaris-plugin-dashboard-url')
|
||||
|
||||
// Reset to defaults:
|
||||
localStorage.removeItem('polaris-plugin-refresh-interval')
|
||||
localStorage.removeItem('polaris-plugin-dashboard-url')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
