Envoy administration interface

The Microgateway Engine is built on the basis of the Envoy proxy and enriched with Airlock-specific features. When analyzing complex problems, it can be helpful to have more insight and check the current configuration, print the memory usage and list the server information or other information. The above and other information is accessible through the Envoy Administration interface.

Setup port forward

To access the Envoy Administration interface, a port forward must be setup.

  1. Setup up a port forward with kubectl port-forward:
  2.  
    Terminal box
    kubectl -n <GATEWAY_NAMESPACE> port-forward <POD_NAME> 19000:19000
  3. As long as the command is running, open the Envoy Admininistration interface via http://localhost:19000/.

Dump the configuration

Inspect the active config at http://localhost:19000/config_dump while the port forward is still active.
