Chapter 9. Verifying connectivity to an endpoint
The Cluster Network Operator (CNO) runs a controller, the connectivity check controller, that performs a connection health check between resources within your cluster. By reviewing the results of the health checks, you can diagnose connection problems or eliminate network connectivity as the cause of an issue that you are investigating.
9.1. Connection health checks performed
To verify that cluster resources are reachable, a TCP connection is made to each of the following cluster API services:
- Kubernetes API server service
- Kubernetes API server endpoints
- OpenShift API server service
- OpenShift API server endpoints
- Load balancers
To verify that services and service endpoints are reachable on every node in the cluster, a TCP connection is made to each of the following targets:
- Health check target service
- Health check target endpoints
9.2. Implementation of connection health checks
The connectivity check controller orchestrates connection verification checks in your cluster. The results for the connection tests are stored in PodNetworkConnectivity
objects in the openshift-network-diagnostics
namespace. Connection tests are performed every minute in parallel.
The Cluster Network Operator (CNO) deploys several resources to the cluster to send and receive connectivity health checks:
- Health check source
-
This program deploys in a single pod replica set managed by a
Deployment
object. The program consumesPodNetworkConnectivity
objects and connects to thespec.targetEndpoint
specified in each object. - Health check target
- A pod deployed as part of a daemon set on every node in the cluster. The pod listens for inbound health checks. The presence of this pod on every node allows for the testing of connectivity to each node.
You can configure the nodes which network connectivity sources and targets run on with a node selector. Additionally, you can specify permissible tolerations for source and target pods. The configuration is defined in the singleton cluster
custom resource of the Network
API in the config.openshift.io/v1
API group.
Pod scheduling occurs after you have updated the configuration. Therefore, you must apply node labels that you intend to use in your selectors before updating the configuration. Labels applied after updating your network connectivity check pod placement are ignored.
Refer to the default configuration in the following YAML:
Default configuration for connectivity source and target pods
apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1 kind: Network metadata: name: cluster spec: # ... networkDiagnostics: 1 mode: "All" 2 sourcePlacement: 3 nodeSelector: checkNodes: groupA tolerations: - key: myTaint effect: NoSchedule operator: Exists targetPlacement: 4 nodeSelector: checkNodes: groupB tolerations: - key: myOtherTaint effect: NoExecute operator: Exists
- 1 1
- Specifies the network diagnostics configuration. If a value is not specified or an empty object is specified, and
spec.disableNetworkDiagnostics=true
is set in thenetwork.operator.openshift.io
custom resource namedcluster
, network diagnostics are disabled. If set, this value overridesspec.disableNetworkDiagnostics=true
. - 2
- Specifies the diagnostics mode. The value can be the empty string,
All
, orDisabled
. The empty string is equivalent to specifyingAll
. - 3
- Optional: Specifies a selector for connectivity check source pods. You can use the
nodeSelector
andtolerations
fields to further specify thesourceNode
pods. You do not have to use bothnodeSelector
andtolerations
, however, for both the source and target pods. These are optional fields that can be omitted. - 4
- Optional: Specifies a selector for connectivity check target pods. You can use the
nodeSelector
andtolerations
fields to further specify thetargetNode
pods. You do not have to use bothnodeSelector
andtolerations
, however, for both the source and target pods. These are optional fields that can be omitted.
9.3. Configuring pod connectivity check placement
As a cluster administrator, you can configure which nodes the connectivity check pods run by modifying the network.config.openshift.io
object named cluster
.
Prerequisites
-
Install the OpenShift CLI (
oc
).
Procedure
To edit the connectivity check configuration, enter the following command:
$ oc edit network.config.openshift.io cluster
-
In the text editor, update the
networkDiagnostics
stanza to specify the node selectors that you want for the source and target pods. - To commit your changes, save your changes and exit the text editor.
Verification
To verify that the source and target pods are running on the intended nodes, enter the following command:
$ oc get pods -n openshift-network-diagnostics -o wide
Example output
