Hello Srikanth Narsing

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here.

The error message you are seeing indicates that the Secrets Store CSI Driver is unable to retrieve the specified secret. This could be due to a number of reasons, such as incorrect secret name or namespace, or insufficient permissions to access the secret.

To troubleshoot this issue, you can try the following steps:

-Verify that the secret exists in the specified namespace. You can use the following command to list all secrets in a namespace:

kubectl get secrets -n <namespace>

If the secret is not listed, it may have been deleted or may not have been created yet.

-Make sure that the name of the secret specified in the CSI Driver configuration matches the actual name of the secret.

-Verify that the CSI Driver has sufficient permissions to access the secret. The CSI Driver needs to have the get permission on the secret in order to retrieve it. You can check the permissions of the CSI Driver service account by running the following command:

kubectl describe sa <service-account-name> -n <namespace>

Look for the secrets section to see the list of secrets that the service account has access to.

If none of the above steps help resolve the issue, you may need to check the logs of the CSI Driver pod for more information. You can use the following command to view the logs of the CSI Driver pod:

kubectl logs <csi-driver-pod-name> -n <namespace>

Look for any error messages or stack traces that may indicate the cause of the issue.

I hope this helps!
