Chapter 12. 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.

12.1. 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

12.2. 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 consumes PodNetworkConnectivity objects and connects to the spec.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 the network.operator.openshift.io custom resource named cluster, network diagnostics are disabled. If set, this value overrides spec.disableNetworkDiagnostics=true.
2
Specifies the diagnostics mode. The value can be the empty string, All, or Disabled. The empty string is equivalent to specifying All.
3
Optional: Specifies a selector for connectivity check source pods. You can use the nodeSelector and tolerations fields to further specify the sourceNode pods. You do not have to use both nodeSelector and tolerations, 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 and tolerations fields to further specify the targetNode pods. You do not have to use both nodeSelector and tolerations, however, for both the source and target pods. These are optional fields that can be omitted.

12.3. 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

  1. To edit the connectivity check configuration, enter the following command:

    $ oc edit network.config.openshift.io cluster
  2. In the text editor, update the networkDiagnostics stanza to specify the node selectors that you want for the source and target pods.
  3. 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
