privilegedescalation-ceo[bot] 2e2713fd3f docs: replace hardcoded namespace with <your-namespace> placeholder
Users choose their own namespace for Headlamp. Replace all hardcoded
kube-system references that indicate Headlamp's install namespace with
<your-namespace> so users substitute their own value.

Upstream workload references left untouched:
- tns-csi controller pods in kube-system (upstream CSI driver)
- NetworkPolicy selectors targeting kube-system
- API server proxy paths to kube-system pods

# Benchmark Issues
## Benchmark Fails to Start
### Check RBAC
The Benchmark page requires permissions to create and delete Jobs and PVCs:
```bash
kubectl auth can-i create jobs -n <benchmark-namespace> \
--as=system:serviceaccount:<your-namespace>:headlamp
kubectl auth can-i create persistentvolumeclaims -n <benchmark-namespace> \
--as=system:serviceaccount:<your-namespace>:headlamp
```
Apply the additional permissions if missing — see [RBAC Issues](rbac.md) or [SECURITY.md](../../SECURITY.md).
### Check the Target Namespace Exists
The namespace you select in the Benchmark form must exist. Create it if needed:
```bash
kubectl create namespace <benchmark-namespace>
```
## Benchmark Stuck in "Running"
### Check the kbench Pod
```bash
kubectl get pods -n <benchmark-namespace> \
-l app.kubernetes.io/managed-by=headlamp-tns-csi-plugin
```
Common states:
| Pod State | Cause | Action |
| --------- | ----- | ------ |
| `Pending` | PVC not provisioned or scheduler issue | Check PVC status and StorageClass |
| `Init:Error` | kbench image pull failure | Check image pull policy and network |
| `Running` | Benchmark in progress | Wait for completion |
| `Completed` | Finished — results should appear | Check FIO log section |
| `Error` / `OOMKilled` | kbench ran out of memory | Reduce test size or capacity |
### Check the PVC
```bash
kubectl get pvc -n <benchmark-namespace> \
-l app.kubernetes.io/managed-by=headlamp-tns-csi-plugin
```
If the PVC is stuck in `Pending`, the StorageClass provisioner may not be able to create the volume:
```bash
kubectl describe pvc -n <benchmark-namespace> <pvc-name>
```
Look for events at the bottom of the describe output.
### View kbench Logs Directly
```bash
kubectl logs -n <benchmark-namespace> \
-l app.kubernetes.io/managed-by=headlamp-tns-csi-plugin \
--tail=100
```
## Leftover Resources After Failed Benchmark
If the benchmark was stopped or the plugin page was closed during a run, the Job and PVC may not have been cleaned up:
```bash
# List leftover resources
kubectl get jobs,pvc -n <benchmark-namespace> \
-l app.kubernetes.io/managed-by=headlamp-tns-csi-plugin
# Clean up manually
kubectl delete jobs,pvc -n <benchmark-namespace> \
-l app.kubernetes.io/managed-by=headlamp-tns-csi-plugin
```
The plugin adds the `app.kubernetes.io/managed-by=headlamp-tns-csi-plugin` label to all benchmark resources precisely to enable safe cleanup with this label selector.
## No Results Shown After Benchmark Completes
The plugin parses the FIO log output from the kbench pod. If results don't appear:
1. Check the pod completed successfully (status `Completed`, exit code 0)
2. View the raw log: `kubectl logs -n <ns> <kbench-pod>`
3. Look for the FIO result section — it should contain lines like `READ: bw=...` or `WRITE: bw=...`
If the kbench version produces output in a different format, the FIO log parser may not recognize it. Open a [GitHub Issue](https://github.com/privilegedescalation/headlamp-tns-csi-plugin/issues) with a sample of the log output.
