Troubleshooting

This part of the documentation is only intended in the context of a supported PoC (Proof of Concept) together with the Steadybit team. Please, book an appointment to scope your PoC before continuing to evaluate the on-prem solution.
If you just want to try out Steadybit, we recommend you sign up for our SaaS platform.
This page describes some common issues and how to solve them.

Platform and Postgres are in CrashLoopBackOff

  • Check the logs of the platform and Postgres containers
kubectl logs -f -n steadybit-platform steadybit-platform-postgresql-0 --previous
kubectl logs -f -n steadybit-platform steadybit-platform-0 --previous
  • Verify that the Postgres password is correct and base64 encoded in the manifest file

Kubernetes namespaces and deployments show up multiple times in the landscape table

  • Check the logs of the agents
kubectl logs -f -n steadybit-agent steadybit-agent-0
  • If you see this error: Missing permissions to create leases for the leader elections or Cannot perform leader election. All agents will behave as leader.
    • Check if the agent has the correct permissions to create leases.

Agents are not able to connect to the platform during an experiment

  • Check if you can reach the platform from the agent:
kubectl exec -it -n steadybit-agent steadybit-agent-0 -- curl -k https://steadybit-platform.steadybit-platform.svc.cluster.local:8080
  • Check if the agent can reach the Websocket port of the platform.
    • This is usally port 7878 and can be configured in the platform manifest via environment variable STEADYBIT_WEB_PUBLIC_EXPERIMENT_PORT
    • Please also check your ingress configuration.
