How to check all ingresses from the NGINX ingress controller to all backend pods

This document (000020011) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.

Situation

Task

This script is designed to walk through all the ingresses in a cluster and test that it can curl the backend pods from the NGINX pods. This is mainly done to verify the overlay network is working along with checking the overall configuration.

Pre-requisites

  • kubectl access to the cluster

Run script

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rancherlabs/support-tools/master/NGINX-to-pods-check/check.sh | bash

Example output

Broken pod
bash ./check.sh -F Table

Testing

The following commands will deploy two workloads and ingresses. One that is working with a web server that is responding on port 80. And the other will have the webserver disabled, so it will fail to connect.

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rancherlabs/support-tools/master/NGINX-to-pods-check/example-deployment.yml
