<h2 id="istioctl-bug-report">istioctl bug-report</h2>
<p>bug-report selectively captures cluster information and logs into an archive to help diagnose problems.
Proxy logs can be filtered using:
  --include|--exclude ns1,ns2.../dep1,dep2.../pod1,pod2.../lbl1=val1,lbl2=val2.../ann1=val1,ann2=val2.../cntr1,cntr...
where ns=namespace, dep=deployment, lbl=label, ann=annotation, cntr=container</p>
<p>The filter spec is interpreted as &#39;must be in (ns1 OR ns2) AND (dep1 OR dep2) AND (cntr1 OR cntr2)...&#39;
The log will be included only if the container matches at least one include filter and does not match any exclude filters.
All parts of the filter are optional and can be omitted e.g. ns1//pod1 filters only for namespace ns1 and pod1.
All names except label and annotation keys support &#39;*&#39; glob matching pattern.</p>
<p>e.g.
--include ns1,ns2 (only namespaces ns1 and ns2)
--include n*//p*/l=v* (pods with name beginning with &#39;p&#39; in namespaces beginning with &#39;n&#39; and having label &#39;l&#39; with value beginning with &#39;v&#39;.)</p>

<p>Generate the autocompletion script for the zsh shell.</p>
<p>If shell completion is not already enabled in your environment you will need
to enable it.  You can execute the following once:</p>
<p>	echo &#34;autoload -U compinit; compinit&#34; &gt;&gt; ~/.zshrc</p>
<p>To load completions in your current shell session:</p>
<p>	source &lt;(istioctl completion zsh)</p>
<p>To load completions for every new session, execute once:</p>
<p>#### Linux:</p>
<p>	istioctl completion zsh &gt; &#34;${fpath[1]}/_istioctl&#34;</p>
<p>#### macOS:</p>
<p>	istioctl completion zsh &gt; $(brew --prefix)/share/zsh/site-functions/_istioctl</p>
<p>You will need to start a new shell for this setup to take effect.

<h2 id="istioctl-experimental-metrics">istioctl experimental metrics</h2>
<p>
Prints the metrics for the specified service(s) when running in Kubernetes.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.

<p>
kube-inject manually injects the Istio 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. When in
doubt re-run istioctl kube-inject on deployments to get the most up-to-date changes.</p>
<p>It&#39;s best to do kube-inject when the resource is initially created.

<h2 id="istioctl-tag">istioctl tag</h2>
<p>Command group used to interact with revision tags. Revision tags allow for the creation of mutable aliases
referring to control plane revisions for sidecar injection.</p>
<p>With revision tags, rather than relabeling a namespace from &#34;istio.io/rev=revision-a&#34; to &#34;istio.io/rev=revision-b&#34; to
change which control plane revision handles injection, it&#39;s possible to create a revision tag &#34;prod&#34; and label our
namespace &#34;istio.io/rev=prod&#34;. The &#34;prod&#34; revision tag could point to &#34;1-7-6&#34; initially and then be changed to point to &#34;1-8-1&#34;
at some later point.</p>
<p>This allows operators to change which Istio control plane revision should handle injection for a namespace or set of namespaces
without manual relabeling of the &#34;istio.io/rev&#34; tag.

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.</p>
<p>If you do not specify an installation it will check for an IstioOperator resource
and will verify if pods and services defined in it are present.</p>
<p>Note: For verifying whether your cluster is ready for Istio installation, see
istioctl experimental precheck.

settings, including in-mesh mTLS and external TLS. Valid values are:

* &#39;&#39; or unset places no additional restrictions.
* &#39;fips-140-2&#39; which enforces a version of the TLS protocol and a subset
of cipher suites overriding any user preferences or defaults for all runtime
components, including Envoy, gRPC Go SDK, and gRPC C++ SDK.

WARNING: Setting compliance policy in the control plane is a necessary but
not a sufficient requirement to achieve compliance. There are additional
steps necessary to claim compliance, including using the validated
cryptograhic modules (please consult

<td><code>ENABLE_ENHANCED_RESOURCE_SCOPING</code></td>
<td>Boolean</td>
<td><code>true</code></td>
<td>If enabled, meshConfig.discoverySelectors will limit the CustomResource configurations(like Gateway,VirtualService,DestinationRule,Ingress, etc)that can be processed by pilot. This will also restrict the root-ca certificate distribution.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>ENABLE_EXTERNAL_NAME_ALIAS</code></td>
<td>Boolean</td>
<td><code>true</code></td>
<td>If enabled, ExternalName Services will be treated as simple aliases: anywhere where we would match the concrete service, we also match the ExternalName. In general, this mirrors Kubernetes behavior more closely. However, it means that policies (routes and DestinationRule) cannot be applied to the ExternalName service. If disabled, ExternalName behaves in fairly unexpected manner. Port matters, while it does not in Kubernetes. If it is a TCP port, all traffic on that port will be matched, which can have disastrous consequences. Additionally, the destination is seen as an opaque destination; even if it is another service in the mesh, policies such as mTLS and load balancing will not be used when connecting to it.</td>

Clients must, however, be able to successfully lookup these DNS hosts. That means that either Istio DNS interception must be enabled or an MCS controller must be used.
