Mizu 0.22.0 + Istio 1.10 + mTLS not showing GRPC traffic about kubeshark HOT 8 CLOSED

from kubeshark.

Hi @derrickburns, thanks for submitting an issue.
I'm checking it out. Will update as soon as possible.

from kubeshark.

I can confirm that there is a reproducible issue with Mizu 0.22.16 and Istio 1.11.
Working to fix it.

@derrickburns, if you can reproduce the issue and upload the logs, that would be very helpful. It is done by running mizu tap with --set dump-logs=true. The logs are saved to a zip in ~/.mizu dir.

So, strangely, this test started to report GRPC requests then stopped.

Thanks for investigating. This is a nice tool!

$ ~/bin/mizu tap -A --service-mesh  qgs-minerva\.\* --set dump-logs=true
Mizu will store up to 200MB of traffic, old traffic will be cleared once the limit is reached.

I had similar while testing this tool but for regular http traffic. Had a simple service with a basic http healthcheck hit every 30 seconds. It reported for 4 minutes, then just stopped. Pausing and resuming the stream resumed streaming again.

There is an issue which causes Mizu to loose track of long-living HTTP and gRPC connections after about 10 seconds, not just in Istio. A fix will be released at the start of next week.

Stopping after 4 minutes is probably a different bug.
@peter-dolkens, could you share logs?

from kubeshark.

There was an issue which caused Mizu to stop tapping gRPC connections after 10 seconds. The issue was fixed in 0.23.5 c2739a6. Will make its way into stable version 0.24.0 scheduled to be released in the next few hours.

Please let us know if you find the gRPC tapping works smoother or if the issue persists.

Also note that Mizu can only tap gRPC if it is up before the connection is formed (Due to HTTP/2 header compression). The most convenient way to get Mizu to tap gRPC is to tap only the gRPC server and restart the gRPC client after running the Mizu.

Version 0.24.0 released. gRPC tapping should work smoother now.
Closing this issue.

Thank you for reporting. Please feel free to comment here / open new issues if there is a need.
