# Network Problems
|
||||
|
||||
Troubleshooting network connectivity issues for the Headlamp Polaris Plugin.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The plugin accesses Polaris through the Kubernetes service proxy. Network issues can occur at multiple points in this chain:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Headlamp Pod → K8s API Server → Polaris Dashboard Service
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### NetworkPolicy Blocking Access
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom:** Timeout or connection errors despite correct RBAC
|
||||
|
||||
**Cause:** NetworkPolicy in `polaris` namespace blocking API server ingress
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:**
|
||||
|
||||
Allow ingress from the Kubernetes API server to Polaris dashboard:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
---
|
||||
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
|
||||
kind: NetworkPolicy
|
||||
metadata:
|
||||
name: allow-apiserver-to-polaris
|
||||
namespace: polaris
|
||||
spec:
|
||||
podSelector:
|
||||
matchLabels:
|
||||
app.kubernetes.io/name: polaris
|
||||
app.kubernetes.io/component: dashboard
|
||||
policyTypes:
|
||||
- Ingress
|
||||
ingress:
|
||||
# Allow from API server
|
||||
- from:
|
||||
- namespaceSelector:
|
||||
matchLabels:
|
||||
kubernetes.io/metadata.name: kube-system
|
||||
- podSelector:
|
||||
matchLabels:
|
||||
component: kube-apiserver
|
||||
ports:
|
||||
- protocol: TCP
|
||||
port: 80
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** The API server performs the proxy hop, not the Headlamp pod directly.
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Network Connectivity
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Test service proxy endpoint
|
||||
kubectl get --raw /api/v1/namespaces/polaris/services/polaris-dashboard:80/proxy/results.json
|
||||
|
||||
# If successful: JSON output
|
||||
# If failed: Check NetworkPolicies and service status
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Check NetworkPolicies
|
||||
kubectl -n polaris get networkpolicy
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Test direct service access (from within cluster)
|
||||
kubectl run -it --rm debug --image=curlimages/curl --restart=Never -- \
|
||||
curl http://polaris-dashboard.polaris/results.json
|
||||
|
||||
# If this works but service proxy doesn't, check API server network access
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### CORS Issues (Custom URL)
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom:** Error when using custom Polaris URL in settings
|
||||
|
||||
**Cause:** CORS not configured on external Polaris deployment
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:**
|
||||
|
||||
Configure Polaris dashboard to allow Headlamp origin:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Polaris Helm values
|
||||
dashboard:
|
||||
enabled: true
|
||||
env:
|
||||
- name: CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS
|
||||
value: "https://headlamp.example.com"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Test CORS headers:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -v -H "Origin: https://headlamp.example.com" \
|
||||
https://my-polaris.example.com/results.json
|
||||
|
||||
# Check for:
|
||||
# Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://headlamp.example.com
|
||||
```
