Resource Names

Many resources in Fiberplane are identified by unique names. Names follow the string format of Kubernetes label names / RFC 1123:

• contain at most 63 characters
• contain only lowercase alphanumeric characters or '-'
• start with an alphanumeric character
• end with an alphanumeric character

Troubleshooting

If you see a red exclamation mark after running a query

• Click on the mark to reveal the console at the bottom of the window: it will reveal more about the error.
• Check if the syntax of the query is incorrect.
• Check if a data source you want to query is online and selected

If Proxy is offline

• Check that you have set the PROXY_API_TOKEN correctly in your deployment.yaml and passed it to the configuration.
• Check that you have configured the data sources. Proxy currently cannot be deployed if there are no data sources configured in the configmap.yaml.

If Providers are offline

• Check if the URLs on configmap.yaml are correct. Especially if you’re using custom ports for your providers (e.g.: running Prometheus on :8041)
• Check that the pod the Proxy is installed on has read permissions to access other pods with Prometheus/Elasticsearch services you want it to access.
