Remotely Accessing Telemetry Addons

This task shows how to configure Istio to expose and access the telemetry addons outside ofa cluster.

Configuring remote access

Remote access to the telemetry addons can be configured in a number of different ways. This task coverstwo basic access methods: secure (via HTTPS) and insecure (via HTTP). The secure method is stronglyrecommended for any production or sensitive environment. Insecure access is simpler to set up, butwill not protect any credentials or data transmitted outside of your cluster.

Option 1: Secure access (HTTPS)

A server certificate is required for secure access. Follow these steps to install and configureserver certificates for a domain that you control.

You may use self-signed certificates instead. Visit ourSecuring Gateways with HTTPS Using Secret Discovery Service taskfor general information on using self-signed certificates to access in-cluster services.

This option covers securing the transport layer only. You should also configure the telemetryaddons to require authentication when exposing them externally.

To install Istio accordingly, use the following installation options:

  • —set values.gateways.enabled=true
  • —set values.gateways.istio-ingressgateway.enabled=true
  • —set values.gateways.istio-ingressgateway.sds.enabled=trueTo additionally install the telemetry addons, use the following installation options:

  • Grafana: —set values.grafana.enabled=true

  • Kiali: —set values.kiali.enabled=true
  • Prometheus: —set values.prometheus.enabled=true
  • Tracing: —set values.tracing.enabled=true

    • Configure the DNS records for your domain.
  • Get the external IP address of the istio-ingressgateway.

  1. $ kubectl -n istio-system get service istio-ingressgateway -o jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip}'
  2. <IP ADDRESS OF CLUSTER INGRESS>
  • Set an environment variable to hold your target domain.
  1. $ TELEMETRY_DOMAIN=<your.desired.domain>
  • Point your desired domain at that external IP address via your domain provider.

The mechanism for achieving this step varies by provider. Here are a few example documentation links:

  1. - Bluehost: [DNS Management Add Edit or Delete DNS Entries](https://my.bluehost.com/hosting/help/559)
  2. - GoDaddy: [Add an A record](https://www.godaddy.com/help/add-an-a-record-19238)
  3. - Google Domains: [Resource Records](https://support.google.com/domains/answer/3290350?hl=en)
  4. - Name.com: [Adding an A record](https://www.name.com/support/articles/115004893508-Adding-an-A-record)
  • Verify that the DNS records are correct.
  1. $ dig +short $TELEMETRY_DOMAIN
  2. <IP ADDRESS OF CLUSTER INGRESS>
  • Generate a server certificate
