# Consul Troubleshoot Proxy

Command: `consul troubleshoot proxy`

The `troubleshoot proxy` command diagnoses Consul service mesh configuration and network issues to an upstream.

## Usage

Usage: `consul troubleshoot proxy (-upstream-ip <ip>|-upstream-envoy-id <envoy-id>) [options]`
This command requires `-envoy-admin-endpoint` or `-upstream-ip` to specify the upstream.

#### Command Options

- `-envoy-admin-endpoint=<value>` - Envoy admin endpoint address for the local Envoy instance.
Defaults to `127.0.0.1:19000`.

- `-upstream-ip=<value>` - The IP address of the upstream service; Use when the upstream is reached via a transparent proxy DNS address (KubeDNS or Consul DNS)

- `-upstream-envoy-id=<value>` - The Envoy identifier of the upstream service; Use when the upstream is explicitly configured on the downstream service.

## Examples

The following example illustrates how to troubleshoot Consul service mesh configuration and network issues to an upstream from a source proxy.

```shell-session
$ consul troubleshoot proxy -upstream-ip 10.4.6.160

==> Validation
✓ Certificates are valid
✓ Envoy has 0 rejected configurations
✓ Envoy has detected 0 connection failure(s)
✓ Listener for upstream "backend" found
✓ Route for upstream "backend" found
✓ Cluster "backend.default.dc1.internal.e08fa6d6-e91e-dfe0-f6e1-ba097a828e31.consul" for upstream "backend" found
✓ Healthy endpoints for cluster "backend.default.dc1.internal.e08fa6d6-e91e-dfe0-f6e1-ba097a828e31.consul" for upstream "backend" found
✓ Cluster "backend2.default.dc1.internal.e08fa6d6-e91e-dfe0-f6e1-ba097a828e31.consul" for upstream "backend" found
! No healthy endpoints for cluster "backend2.default.dc1.internal.e08fa6d6-e91e-dfe0-f6e1-ba097a828e31.consul" for upstream "backend" found
-> Check that your upstream service is healthy and running
-> Check that your upstream service is registered with Consul
-> Check that the upstream proxy is healthy and running
-> If you are explicitly configuring upstreams, ensure the name of the upstream is correct
```

The following example troubleshoots Consul service mesh configuration and network issues from the local Envoy instance to the given upstream.

```shell-session
$ consul-k8s troubleshoot proxy -upstream-envoy-id db

==> Validation
✓ Certificates are valid
✓ Envoy has 0 rejected configurations
✓ Envoy has detected 0 connection failure(s)
✓ Listener for upstream "db" found
✓ Route for upstream "db" found
✓ Cluster "db.default.dc1.internal.e08fa6d6-e91e-dfe0.consul" for upstream "db" found
✓ Healthy endpoints for cluster "db.default.dc1.internal.e08fa6d6-e91e-dfe0.consul" for upstream "db" found

If you are still experiencing issues, you can:
-> Check intentions to ensure the upstream allows traffic from this source
-> If using transparent proxy, ensure DNS resolution is to the same IP you have verified here

# Consul Troubleshoot Upstreams

Command: `consul troubleshoot upstreams`

The `troubleshoot upstreams` lists the available upstreams in the Consul service mesh from the current service.

## Usage

Usage: `consul troubleshoot upstreams [options]`

#### Command Options

- `-envoy-admin-endpoint=<value>` - Envoy admin endpoint address for the local Envoy instance.
Defaults to `127.0.0.1:19000`.

## Examples

Display all transparent proxy upstreams in Consul service mesh from the current Envoy instance.

```shell-session
$ consul troubleshoot upstreams
==> Upstreams (explicit upstreams only) (0)

==> Upstreams IPs (transparent proxy only) (1)
[10.4.6.160 240.0.0.3] true map[backend.default.dc1.internal.e08fa6d6-e91e-dfe0-f6e1-ba097a828e31.consul backend2.default.dc1.internal.e08fa6d6-e91e-dfe0-f6e1-ba097a828e31.consul]

If you cannot find the upstream address or cluster for a transparent proxy upstream:
- Check intentions: Tproxy upstreams are configured based on intentions. Make sure you have configured intentions to allow traffic to your upstream.
- To check that the right cluster is being dialed, run a DNS lookup for the upstream you are dialing. For example, run `dig backend.svc.consul` to return the IP address for the `backend` service. If the address you get from that is missing from the upstream IPs, it means that your proxy may be misconfigured.

### `troubleshoot`

The `troubleshoot` command exposes two subcommands for troubleshooting Consul
service mesh and network issues from a given pod.

- [`troubleshoot upstreams`](#troubleshoot-upstreams): List all Envoy upstreams in Consul service mesh from the given pod.
- [`troubleshoot proxy`](#troubleshoot-proxy): Troubleshoot Consul service mesh configuration and network issues between the given pod and the given upstream.

### `troubleshoot upstreams`

```shell-session
$ consul-k8s troubleshoot upstreams -pod <pod> <OPTIONS>
```

| Flag | Description | Default |
| ------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| <nobr>`-envoy-admin-endpoint`</nobr> | `String` Envoy sidecar address and port | `127.0.0.1:19000` |

#### Example Commands

The following example displays all transparent proxy upstreams in Consul service mesh from the given pod.

```shell-session
$ consul-k8s troubleshoot upstreams -pod frontend-767ccfc8f9-6f6gx
