Troubleshooting and cheats

In order to check the health of your pods you can check their logs by running:

kubectl logs <pod-name>

Another useful command to show details of a pod is:

kubectl describe pod <pod-name>

To ssh into a pod use:

kubectl exec -it <pod-name> -- bash

Find more useful commands in the documentation: https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubectl/kubectl-commands

If you need to change the config in gw.values.yaml or alloy.values.yaml you can use the same helm upgrade command as used for the installation. Find the commands in this README and in clusters/backend/scripts/deploy_monitoring.sh script.

If you want to uninstall a chart you can simply run

helm uninstall <your-chart-name>

e.g.

helm uninstall alloy

But be aware that some old Custom Resources might linger around after chart uninstallation and have the potential to cause problems. You can check for lingering CRDs by running:

kubectl get crd

And delete single ones with:

kubectl delete crd <crd-name>
