Tetrate Service BridgeVersion: 1.8.xIngress Gateway troubleshooting
Whenever we use the TSB IngressGateway or the Istio Gateway and VirtualService resources to route external traffic to our services, we might face problems with the routes that we expose. In this document, we are going to show you some of the most common failure scenarios and how to troubleshoot them.
Missing configuration
One of the first things to check is that the configuration that we created in TSB exists in the destination cluster. For instance, in this case:
curl -vk http://helloworld.tetrate.io/hello
[ ... ]
> GET /hello HTTP/1.1
> Host: helloworld.tetrate.io
> User-Agent: curl/7.81.0
> Accept: */*
>
* Mark bundle as not supporting multiuse
< HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
< date: Wed, 27 Apr 2022 14:46:41 GMT
< server: istio-envoy
< content-length: 0
<
We are getting a 404 HTTP response (not found) to an ingress route that had just been configured. The first thing to check is the resource status. Make sure that the status for your ingress resources is ACCEPTED.
Envoy 404 responses do not have any body as shown above. If you see a 404 along with some "not found" message, it usually points to a correct configuration in routing, but you are hitting a wrong URL. For instance:
curl -vk https://httpbin.tetrate.io/foobar
[ ... ]
< HTTP/2 404
< server: istio-envoy
< date: Wed, 27 Apr 2022 14:53:32 GMT
< content-type: text/html
< content-length: 233
< access-control-allow-origin: *
< access-control-allow-credentials: true
< x-envoy-upstream-service-time: 47
<
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
<title>404 Not Found</title>
<h1>Not Found</h1>
<p>The requested URL was not found on the server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.</p>
The HTML code you can see there is sent back by the application itself, which means the routing works OK, but you are reaching the application on a wrong path.
tctl experimental status workspace hello --tenant tetrate
NAME STATUS LAST EVENT MESSAGE
hello FAILED The following children resources have issues: organizations/tetrate/tenants/tetrate/workspaces/hello/gatewaygroups/hello
For instance, the output above suggests that something in the workspace hello is not right, specifically in the gateway group named hello.
tctl experimental status gatewaygroup hello --workspace hello --tenant tetrate
NAME STATUS LAST EVENT MESSAGE
hello FAILED The following children resources have issues: organizations/tetrate/tenants/tetrate/workspaces/hello/gatewaygroups/hello/virtualservices/hello
And there seem to be a problem with the VirtualService that was deployed for this route.
tctl experimental status virtualservice hello --gatewaygroup hello --workspace hello --tenant tetrate
NAME STATUS LAST EVENT MESSAGE
hello FAILED MPC_FAILED no gateway object found for reference "helloworld/hellogw" in "organizations/tetrate/tenants/tetrate/workspaces/hello/gatewaygroups/hello/virtualservices/hello"
At this point we can identify the reason for the missing configuration is actually a problem with the configuration itself, so it can be fixed so it gets deployed, fixing the 404 error we were seeing. The error message in the status object will guide you to find where error is.
Envoy access logs
You can sent X-REQUEST-ID header to correlate the requests within the logs. You can use any random string as request ID. Envoy proxies will include that ID in every log statement that it creates. Following the example given below, this would be curl -vk -H 'X-REQUEST-ID:4e3e3e04-6509-43d4-9a97-52b7b2cea0e8'
TSB configures Istio so that Envoy prints access logs in stdout and only errors for certain modules. If the configuration received from istiod is not valid, you will see a message, but for requests failing, you will pretty much see a response 503 with some flags, specified in the Envoy documentation (see the %RESPONSE_FLAGS% section). Let's check the following example.
curl -vk https://httpbin.tetrate.io/foobar
[ ... ]
< HTTP/2 503
< content-length: 19
< content-type: text/plain
< date: Wed, 27 Apr 2022 15:02:19 GMT
< server: istio-envoy
<
no healthy upstream
If we look at the access log for this request, we see:
[2022-04-27T15:02:20.472Z] "GET /foobar HTTP/2" 503 UH no_healthy_upstream - "-" 0 19 0 - "X.X.X.X" "curl/7.81.0" "55fef75a-70e5-449f-ad01-cd34960f465c" "httpbin.tetrate.io" "-" outbound|8000||httpbin.httpbin.svc.cluster.local - 10.16.0.20:8443 X.X.X.X:36009 httpbin.tetrate.io httpbin
Right, so we see the timestamp of the log, some HTTP information for the request (method, path, protocol), and then we can see the response code, 503, followed by the flag UH, which matches the message we got in the response, stating that there is no healthy upstream. The VirtualService for this ingress route is currently:
kind: VirtualService
metadata:
annotations:
tsb.tetrate.io/organization: tetrate
tsb.tetrate.io/tenant: tetrate
xcp.tetrate.io/workspace: httpbin
xcp.tetrate.io/gatewayGroup: httpbin
name: httpbin
namespace: httpbin
spec:
gateways:
- httpbin/httpbingw
hosts:
- httpbin.tetrate.io
http:
- name: httpbin
route:
- destination:
host: httpbin.httpbin.svc.cluster.local
If we check the destination service httpbin endpoints:
kubectl get ep
NAME ENDPOINTS AGE
httpbin <none> 48m
httpbin-gateway 10.16.0.20:8080,10.16.0.20:8443,10.16.0.20:15443 48m
We have no valid endpoints, which is causing the problem. The next step here would be to check why we have no endpoints for the service (wrong selectors, compute problem, etc.).
Debug or trace logs
There are other cases where you might need to end up raising the verbosity of Envoy logs to find out what is going on. Let's say we have created an application that does:
curl localhost:8090/
super funny stuff...
And we deploy that to our service mesh. Once all the configuration is in place, we found out it is not quite working...
curl -v http://fun.tetrate.io/
[ ... ]
> GET / HTTP/1.1
> Host: fun.tetrate.io
> User-Agent: curl/7.81.0
> Accept: */*

< HTTP/1.1 502 Bad Gateway
< content-length: 87
< content-type: text/plain
< date: Thu, 28 Apr 2022 11:03:48 GMT
< server: istio-envoy
< x-envoy-upstream-service-time: 3
<
upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. reset reason: protocol error
The HTTP status code 502 stands for bad gateway, so the problem should not be in our app.
Inspecting the logs for the gateway shows:
[2022-04-28T10:58:59.087Z] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 502 - via_upstream - "-" 0 87 3 3 "X.X.X.X" "curl/7.81.0" "3d1f5c5c-e788-4f55-ba0f-00f15b749767" "fun.tetrate.io" "10.16.0.40:8090" outbound|8090||faulty-http.faulty-http.svc.cluster.local 10.16.2.34:50440 10.16.2.34:8080 X.X.X.X:20985 - faulty-http
And the sidecar shows:
[2022-04-28T10:58:59.089Z] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 502 UPE upstream_reset_before_response_started{protocol_error} - "-" 0 87 1 - "X.X.X.X" "curl/7.81.0" "3d1f5c5c-e788-4f55-ba0f-00f15b749767" "fun.tetrate.io" "10.16.0.40:8090" inbound|8090|| 127.0.0.6:36281 10.16.0.40:8090 X.X.X.X:0 outbound_.8090_._.faulty-http.faulty-http.svc.cluster.local default
OK, here we can see the HTTP status code 502 along with the flags UPE, which according to the Envoy docs means The upstream response had an HTTP protocol error.. Right, but that does not show us what is going on.
At this point we are going to raise the verbosity for the Envoy logs to see if we can see some message that can point us to the root cause of the problem. To that extent, we are going to use a combination of tctl commands to get the configuration matching our host URL and then raise the log for the related components. The first command we are going to run is tctl get all to get the configuration related to our URL fun.tetrate.io.
tctbashl get all --fqdn fun.tetrate.io > fun.tetrate.io.config.yaml
grep -i kind fun.tetrate.io.config.yaml
kind: VirtualService
kind: Gateway
In order to expose fun.tetrate.io we are using an Istio Gateway and a VirtualService. Now we can run a command that will turn the log levels of the pods related to these two objects to trace (we could use debug, but trace might provide some extra info in some cases), and we are going to instruct tctl to wait while we do the tests so it will collect the logs afterwards.
tctl experimental debug log-level -f fun.tetrate.io.config.yaml --level trace --wait -o /tmp/logs
The following pods were found matching the provided component/file:
- faulty-http/faulty-http-75cd76d866-x9hqx
- faulty-http/faulty-http-gw-7fbd455c4c-q8lr8
Do you want to proceed? [y/n]: y
Pod: faulty-http/faulty-http-75cd76d866-x9hqx
active loggers:

alternate_protocols_cache: trace
aws: trace

active loggers:
admin: trace
alternate_protocols_cache: trace
aws: trace
assert: trace
[ ... ]
Waiting for logs to populate. Press Ctrl+C to stop and dump logs to files...
You can see how tctl identified 2 pods to change the log levels on:
faulty-http/faulty-http-75cd76d866-x9hqxis a pod that matches the selector for the service that is the destination in theVirtualService.faulty-http/faulty-http-gw-7fbd455c4c-q8lr8is a pod that matches theselectorin the IstioGatewayobject.
For these two pods, tctl is going to turn the log level to the specified trace level, and then it will hang for the user to press Ctrl+C to stop waiting for logs. At this point we are going to fire up a different terminal and fire the curl request we used before a couple of times. After that, we will return to the terminal running the tctl command and press Ctrl+C.
Waiting for logs to populate. Press Ctrl+C to stop and dump logs to files...
^C
Dumping pod logs:
- faulty-http/faulty-http-75cd76d866-x9hqx... Done.
- faulty-http/faulty-http-gw-7fbd455c4c-q8lr8... Done.
As a result, we will have different files in the /tmp/logs folder:
ls -lrt /tmp/logs
-rw-r--r-- 1 chirauki staff 0 28 Apr 16:17 faulty-http-faulty-http-75cd76d866-x9hqx-faulty-http.log

-rw-r--r-- 1 chirauki staff 111970 28 Apr 16:17 faulty-http-faulty-http-gw-7fbd455c4c-q8lr8-istio-proxy.log
From top to bottom, these are the app container logs, app sidecar container logs and gateway logs. Let's check the sidecar container logs. If we search the host name in the URL, fun.tetrate.io, we will see the requests that come into the gateway:

OK, hang on. We see how Envoy starts parsing the response headers, but eventually prints this line:
2022-04-28T14:17:49.028350Z debug envoy client [C6170] Error dispatching received data: headers count exceeds limit
Somehow, there seem to be more headers in the response than Envoy would like. If we search the Envoy documentation (check specifically max_headers_count), we will see that, by default, Envoy allows up to 100 headers in an HTTP request or response, and we are going over that number. In this case, a problem in the application is causing an error in Envoy, so fixing the application would fix this issue.
At this point, we can use tctl again to revert the log levels to the defaults.
tctl experimental debug log-level -f fun.tetrate.io.config.yaml --level info -y
Gateway Autoscaling and Deletion
When a gateway pod delete event occurs, TSB needs to propagate service information to other clusters so that cross-cluster traffic does not target the deleted pod's NodePort IP address. You can configure TSB control plane to enable a webhook that intercepts gateway pod delete events, holding the delete operation for a configurable time period. This allows for sufficient time for the configuration change to propagate across all clusters and for all mesh components to remove the soon-to-be-deleted IP address. In the unlikely event that the configuration does not completely propagate, you may observe 503 errors for HTTP traffic or 000 errors for passthrough cross cluster traffic.
See gateway deletion hold webhook to enable the webhook.
Passthrough routes
Envoy will not add/downgrade, split traffic or decrypt/terminate the TLS (that is a task for the application to perform once the request is processed) when the route is configured as passthrough, as for Envoy it will be TCP traffic and it will just forward the request (as a tcp-proxy) without looking at HTTP request information nor modifying anything.
For example, in cases where an http2 request is done and it's downgraded to http1 (as below curl output), always check the backend application to see if it's compatible with http2 or if there's another proxy in the middle that could modify it.
