Troubleshooting

1. Run the check from the CLI

   The easiest way of troubleshooting is to run the canary-checker run command with a copy of the canary CRD locally, this enables rapid feedback loops.

2. Enable trace and debug

   To increase the amount of logs for a particular trace add a trace: true annotation:

   apiVersion: canaries.flanksource.com/v1
   kind: Canary
   metadata:
     name: http-check
     annotations:
       trace: "true"
   spec:
     http:
       - url: https://httpbin.demo.aws.flanksource.com/headers

   

   Sensitive Data & Excessive Logging

   Trace level logging will return the HTTP response body which may contain sensitive data (The authorization headers will be sanitized)

Trace Levels

Level	Logs
debug	- HTTP Request and Response Header
trace	- HTTP Request and Response Header - HTTP Response Body - Custom Metrics
