OpenShift Debug Skill

Debug OpenShift-specific resources and platform issues.

Context-Safe Execution (MANDATORY)

All oc/kubectl commands MUST redirect output to files.

export LOG_DIR=/tmp/kagenti/k8s/${CLUSTER:-local}
mkdir -p $LOG_DIR

# Pattern: redirect oc/kubectl output
oc get clusteroperators > $LOG_DIR/cluster-operators.log 2>&1 && echo "OK" || echo "FAIL"
oc describe clusterversion version > $LOG_DIR/cluster-version.log 2>&1 && echo "OK" || echo "FAIL"
# Analyze in subagent: Task(subagent_type='Explore') with Grep

When to Use

OpenShift operators not working
Cluster operator issues
Authentication/OAuth problems
Route or ingress issues
Build failures

Quick Diagnostics

Cluster Health

# Cluster version and status
oc get clusterversion
oc describe clusterversion version

# Cluster operators status
oc get clusteroperators
oc get clusteroperators -o json | jq '.items[] | select(.status.conditions[] | select(.type=="Degraded" and .status=="True")) | .metadata.name'

# Check for degraded operators
oc get co -o json | jq -r '.items[] | select(.status.conditions[] | select(.type=="Degraded" and .status=="True")) | "\(.metadata.name): \(.status.conditions[] | select(.type=="Degraded") | .message)"'

Operator Debugging

# List installed operators
oc get csv -A

# Check operator logs
oc logs -n openshift-operators deployment/<operator-name>

# Check install plans
oc get installplans -A

# Check subscriptions
oc get subscriptions -A

Authentication Issues

# Check OAuth status
oc get clusteroperator authentication
oc describe clusteroperator authentication

# Check OAuth pods
oc get pods -n openshift-authentication

# Check OAuth logs
oc logs -n openshift-authentication deployment/oauth-openshift

Route Issues

# List all routes
oc get routes -A

# Check route status
oc describe route <route-name> -n <namespace>

# Check ingress controller
oc get ingresscontroller -n openshift-ingress-operator
oc logs -n openshift-ingress-operator deployment/ingress-operator

Build Issues

# Check builds
oc get builds -A

# Check build logs
oc logs -n <namespace> build/<build-name>

# Check build config
oc describe buildconfig <bc-name> -n <namespace>

OpenShift-Specific Resources

Routes

# Get route URL
oc get route <route-name> -n <namespace> -o jsonpath='{.spec.host}'

# Check route TLS
oc get route <route-name> -n <namespace> -o jsonpath='{.spec.tls.termination}'

Security Context Constraints

# List SCCs
oc get scc

# Check which SCC a pod uses
oc get pod <pod-name> -n <namespace> -o jsonpath='{.metadata.annotations.openshift\.io/scc}'

# Check SCC details
oc describe scc <scc-name>

Service Accounts

# List service accounts
oc get sa -n <namespace>

# Check SA tokens
oc get secrets -n <namespace> | grep <sa-name>

# Add SCC to service account
oc adm policy add-scc-to-user <scc-name> -z <sa-name> -n <namespace>

Common Issues

Issue: Route not accessible

# Check route exists
oc get route <route-name> -n <namespace>

# Check service has endpoints
oc get endpoints <service-name> -n <namespace>

# Check ingress controller logs
oc logs -n openshift-ingress deployment/router-default

Issue: Operator stuck

# Check CSV status
oc get csv -n <namespace>

# Check operator pod
oc get pods -n <namespace> -l name=<operator-name>

# Delete and reinstall
oc delete subscription <sub-name> -n <namespace>
oc delete csv <csv-name> -n <namespace>

Issue: Authentication failed

# Check OAuth pods
oc get pods -n openshift-authentication

# Check OAuth config
oc get oauth cluster -o yaml

# Check identity providers
oc get oauth cluster -o jsonpath='{.spec.identityProviders}'
