# Check the TLS/JWT/RBAC settings for pod httpbin-88ddbcfdd-nt5jb:
istioctl experimental auth check httpbin-88ddbcfdd-nt5jb
Check analyzes the TLS/JWT/RBAC settings directly based on the Envoy config. The Envoy config could be provided either by pod name or from a config dump file (the whole output of http://localhost:15000/config_dump of an Envoy instance).
Currently only the listeners with node IP and clusters on outbound direction are analyzed: - listeners with node IP generally tell how should other pods talk to the Envoy instance which include the server side TLS/JWT/RBAC settings.
- clusters on outbound direction generally tell how should the Envoy instance talk to other pods which include the client side TLS settings.
To check the TLS setting, you could run 'check' on both of the client and server pods and compare the cluster results of the client pod and the listener results of the server pod.
To check the JWT/RBAC setting, you could run 'check' only on your server pods and check the listener results.

Prints the metrics for the specified service(s) when running in Kubernetes.
This command finds a Prometheus pod running in the specified istio system namespace. It then executes a series of queries per requested workload to find the following top-level workload metrics: total requests per second, error rate, and request latency at p50, p90, and p99 percentiles. The query results are printed to the console, organized by workload name.
All metrics returned are from server-side reports. This means that latencies and error rates are from the perspective of the service itself and not of an individual client (or aggregate set of clients). Rates and latencies are calculated over a time interval of 1 minute.

kube-inject manually injects the Envoy sidecar into Kubernetes workloads. Unsupported resources are left unmodified so it is safe to run kube-inject over a single file that contains multiple Service, ConfigMap, Deployment, etc. definitions for a complex application. It's best to do this when the resource is initially created.
k8s.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/pod-overview/#pod-templates is updated for Job, DaemonSet, ReplicaSet, Pod and Deployment YAML resource documents. Support for additional pod-based resource types can be added as necessary.
The Istio project is continually evolving so the Istio sidecar configuration may change unannounced. When in doubt re-run istioctl kube-inject on deployments to get the most up-to-date changes.

verify-install verifies Istio installation status against the installation file you specified when you installed Istio. It loops through all the installation resources defined in your installation file and reports whether all of them are in ready status. It will report failure when any of them are not ready.
If you do not specify installation file it will perform pre-check for your cluster and report whether the cluster is ready for Istio installation.

command.
Variable Name | Type | Default Value | Description |
---|---|---|---|
BYPASS_OOP_MTLS_SAN_VERIFICATION |
Boolean | false |
Whether or not to validate SANs for out-of-process adapters auth. |
ISTIO_GPRC_MAXSTREAMS |
Integer | 100000 |
Sets the maximum number of concurrent grpc streams. |
ISTIO_LANG |
String |
|
Selects the attribute expression langauge runtime for Mixer. |
K8S_INGRESS_NS |
String |
|
|
PILOT_CERT_DIR |
String |
|
|
PILOT_DEBOUNCE_AFTER |
Time Duration | 100ms |
The delay added to config/registry events for debouncing. This will delay the push by at least this internal. If no change is detected within this period, the push will happen, otherwise we'll keep delaying until things settle, up to a max of PILOT_DEBOUNCE_MAX. |
PILOT_DEBOUNCE_MAX |
Time Duration | 10s |
The maximum amount of time to wait for events while debouncing. If events keep showing up with no breaks for this time, we'll trigger a push. |
PILOT_DEBUG_ADSZ_CONFIG |
Boolean | false |
|
PILOT_DISABLE_XDS_MARSHALING_TO_ANY |
Boolean | false |
|
PILOT_ENABLE_FALLTHROUGH_ROUTE |
Boolean | true |
EnableFallthroughRoute provides an option to add a final wildcard match for routes. When ALLOW_ANY traffic policy is used, a Passthrough cluster is used. When REGISTRY_ONLY traffic policy is used, a 502 error is returned. |
PILOT_ENABLE_MYSQL_FILTER |
Boolean | false |
EnableMysqlFilter enables injection of `envoy.filters.network.mysql_proxy` in the filter chain. |
PILOT_ENABLE_REDIS_FILTER |
Boolean | false |
EnableRedisFilter enables injection of `envoy.filters.network.redis_proxy` in the filter chain. |
PILOT_HTTP10 |
Boolean | false |
Enables the use of HTTP 1.0 in the outbound HTTP listeners, to support legacy applications. |
PILOT_INITIAL_FETCH_TIMEOUT |
Time Duration | 0s |
Specifies the initial_fetch_timeout for config. If this time is reached without a response to the config requested by Envoy, the Envoy will move on with the init phase. This prevents envoy from getting stuck waiting on config during startup. |
PILOT_PUSH_THROTTLE |
Integer | 100 |
Limits the number of concurrent pushes allowed. On larger machines this can be increased for faster pushes |
PILOT_RESTRICT_POD_UP_TRAFFIC_LOOP |
Boolean | true |
If enabled, this will block inbound traffic from matching outbound listeners, which could result in an infinite loop of traffic. This option is only provided for backward compatibility purposes and will be removed in the near future. |
PILOT_SCOPE_PUSHES |
Boolean | true |
If enabled, pilot will attempt to limit unnecessary pushes by determining what proxies a config or endpoint update will impact. |
PILOT_SIDECAR_USE_REMOTE_ADDRESS |
Boolean | false |
UseRemoteAddress sets useRemoteAddress to true for side car outbound listeners. |
PILOT_TRACE_SAMPLING |
Floating-Point | 100 |
Sets the mesh-wide trace sampling percentage. Should be 0.0 - 100.0. Precision to 0.01. Default is 100, not recommended for production use. |
POD_NAME |
String |
|
|
TERMINATION_DRAIN_DURATION_SECONDS |
Integer | 5 |
The amount of time allowed for connections to complete on pilot-agent shutdown. On receiving SIGTERM or SIGINT, pilot-agent tells the active Envoy to start draining, preventing any new connections and allowing existing connections to complete. It then sleeps for the TerminationDrainDuration and then kills any remaining active Envoy processes. |
USE_ISTIO_JWT_FILTER |
Boolean | false |
Use the Istio JWT filter for JWT token verification. |
