❗️ Known Issues
- The Alloy Helm chart performs a lookup for the kube-apiserver Service Endpoint when the Helm chart is rendered to create a Network Policy,
but these endpoints may later change. If this happens, Alloy will be unable to talk to the kube-apiserver and will fail to ship logs successfully.
- See the upstream issue for more details.
- If this happens, due to another bug, suspending and resuming the Flux HelmRelease
may fail.
- Instead, delete and re-create the Flux HelmRelease, using a set of commands, such as the following:
kubectl get HelmRelease -n bigbang alloy -oyaml | tee hr-alloy.yamlkubectl delete HelmRelease -n bigbang alloykubectl apply -f hr-alloy.yaml
- Instead, delete and re-create the Flux HelmRelease, using a set of commands, such as the following:
