Mixer logging and metrics

Policy mixer

(for telemetry, use istio-mixer-type=telemetry in the commands below)

set logging levels via ctrlz

port-forward to ctrlz

kubectl -n istio-system port-forward $(kubectl -n istio-system get po -l istio-mixer-type=policy -o 'jsonpath={.items[0].metadata.name}') 9876

browse to ctrlz console and set logging levels

(alternatively, one could change the mixer args in the config to include a line like --log_output_level=adapters:debug)

viewing logs

kubectl -n istio-system log $(kubectl -n istio-system get po -l istio-mixer-type=policy -o 'jsonpath={.items[0].metadata.name}') mixer

note: add -f to follow logs

kubectl -n istio-system port-forward $(kubectl -n istio-system get po -l istio-mixer-type=policy -o 'jsonpath={.items[0].metadata.name}') 9093
