Troubleshoot a Kubernetes supported self-hosted integration runtime

This article covers the details for troubleshooting the new self-hosted integration runtime that is Kubernetes-based for Linux.

You can look up any errors you see in the error guide below. To get support and troubleshooting guidance for SHIR issues, you might need to generate a Log Upload ID and reach out to Microsoft support.

Gather Kubernetes self-hosted integration runtime logs

To generate the Log Upload ID for Microsoft Support:

  1. Once a scan shows status Failed, navigate to the VM or machine where your IRCTL tool is installed.
  2. Use the ./irctl log upload command.
  3. When the logs are uploaded, keep a record of the Log Upload ID that's printed.
  4. If the self-hosted integration runtime fails to register, use the guide below to download logs to local and send it to Microsoft support

To collect the self-hosted integration runtime log and scan run log to troubleshoot your SHIR, use the ./irctl log download command.

For example:

./irctl log download --destination "C:\Users\user\logs\"

Logs will be downloaded to the destination path.

Note

The log will be reserved for 14 days. Please persist it by uploading it to Microsoft or downloading it to your local machine.

IRCTL connectivity error to Kubernetes

You might get a Kubernetes context configuration from your Kubernetes administrator, and the registration could fail with one of the following error messages:

  • Error: invalid flag context [] .kube/config: no such file or directory
  • [Warning] Failed to create kube client with context [] with error

Cause

When installing a self-hosted integration runtime, a correct Kubernetes config and a stable connectivity is required.

Resolution

  1. Make sure the Kubernetes context file is located in the correct path.
  2. Make sure the IRCTL machine can reach the Kubernetes cluster API server.

IRCTL permission error

When connecting you could see the following error messages:

  • [Error] Failed to list namespaces to get Running SHIR
  • [Error] Failed to get configmap/ create job/ etc.

Cause

When installing a self-hosted integration runtime, sufficient permissions to multiple Kubernetes resources are required.

Resolution

Regenerate the Kubernetes service-account-token with an Admin Role.

IRCTL connectivity error to Microsoft Purview service endpoint

When you attempt to register the Kubernetes supported self-hosted integration runtime, the IRCTL create command could return the following errors:

  • [Error] Failed to register SHIR with error: Post “https://[REGION].compute.governance.azure.com/purviewAccounts/[]/integrationruntimes/[]/registerselfhostedintegrationruntime: []”

Cause

IRCTL can't connect to service backend. Such issue is usually caused by network settings or firewall.

Resolution

Review the network topology of the IRCTL host machine. Refer to these sections of the general integration runtime troubleshooting page: Firewall, DNSServer, SSL cert trusts, and http proxy.

Registration key isn't authorized

When you attempt to register the Kubernetes supported self-hosted integration runtime, the IRCTL create command could return the following errors:

  • [Error] failed to register SHIR with error: Request is not authorized.

Cause

They had expired or was manually revoked.

Resolution

Regenerate the key from the integration runtime's page in the Microsoft Purview portal and register again.

Kubernetes self-hosted IR creation timed out error

When you attempt to register the Kubernetes supported self-hosted integration runtime, the IRCTL create command could run long until it eventually times out.

Screenshot of the command line after the creation times out.

You can start with checking the status of Pods under the namespaces mentioned by the irctl describe command.

For example:

./irctl describe 

K8s SHIR Name:shir-demo 
Purview AccountName:   shirdemopurview 
Installation ID:       00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 
Kubernetes Namespace:  shirdemopurview-shir-demo, compute-fleet-system(control-plane) 
K8s SHIR Version:      Unknown (Installation not completed) 
Status:                Initializing 
Healthiness:           Unhealthy

kubectl get pods --namespace shirdemopurview-shir-demo

NAME                                       READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE

logagent-ds-k7vw8                          0/1     Pending   0          10m 
user-credential-proxy-579c899b64-d4q5v     0/1     Pending   0          10m 

There are a couple potential causes, listed below:

Cause - Connectivity with the Microsoft Purview service endpoint

Kubernetes can't connect to MCR (mcr.microsoft.com). This error is usually caused by network settings or a firewall.

If seeing the status as 'ImagePullBackOff', it means your Kubernetes cannot connect to MCR (mcr.microsoft.com) to download Pod images. This error is usually caused by network settings or a firewall.

Screenshot of the command line showing the ImagePullBackOff status.

Resolution - Connectivity with the Microsoft Purview service endpoint

Review the network topology for your Kubernetes cluster. For example, for Azure Kubernetes you should check:

Note

The troubleshooting steps required will be different for each Kubernetes provider. Deployment location and individual network details will vary between networks. You'll need to review connectivity through your organization's network.

Review the network topology of the IRCTL host machine. Refer to these sections of the general integration runtime troubleshooting page: Firewall, DNSServer, SSL cert trusts, and http proxy.

Cause - Kubernetes node configuration error

If the status of some of the Pods stuck in 'Pending', use the describe pod command to see details of the Pod.

For example:

kubectl describe pod batch-defaultspec-4pbwx  --namespace shirdemopurview-shir-demo

Events: 
  Type     Reason            Age                From               Message 

  ----     ------            ----               ----               ------- 

  Warning  FailedScheduling  13m                default-scheduler  0/5 nodes are available: 1 Too many pods. preemption: 0/5 nodes are available: 5 No preemption victims found for incoming pod.. 

The Events from the describe command can tell the reason why the Pod is pending. The FailedScheduling error with detailed message shows that the total number of Pods is exceeded the maximum number of the Pod on a Node. A new Pod cannot be scheduled to the selected Node.

Note

If there are no Events seen under the description, please try to delete the Pod manually by kubectl delete pod command and track the newly created one.

Resolution - Kubernetes node configuration error

Reserve 20 pod number for the kubernetes integration runtime to support normal utilization and upgrade scenarios.

Kubernetes connectivity error with Microsoft Purview service endpoint

When you attempt to register the Kubernetes supported self-hosted integration runtime, the IRCTRL create command could run long until it eventually times out. Or, after a successful installation, the self-hosted integration runtime status shows as unhealthy or offline in the Microsoft Purview portal.

Check the logs using this command: kubectl logs [podName] -n compute-fleet-system

You could see one of these errors:

  • “TraceMessage”:”HttpRequestFailed”, “Host”: “fleet.[REGION].compute.governance.azure.com”
  • Exception":"System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: Connection refused fleet.[REGION].compute.governance.azure.com:443
  • System.AggregateException: Failed to acquire identity token from https://fleet. [REGION].compute.governance.azure.com:443

Cause

Kubernetes can't connect to the service backend. This error is usually caused by network settings or a firewall.

Resolution

Review the network topology for your Kubernetes cluster. For example, for Azure Kubernetes you should check:

Note

The troubleshooting steps required will be different for each Kubernetes provider. Deployment location and individual network details will vary between networks. You'll need to review connectivity through your organization's network.

Review the network topology of the IRCTL host machine. Refer to these sections of the general integration runtime troubleshooting page: Firewall, DNSServer, SSL cert trusts, and http proxy.

Unregister a runtime whose local resource is unavailable

If your local self-hosted integration runtime is deleted from the Kubernetes cluster by accident, you can't delete it using the irctl delete command and you can't install it to another Kubernetes cluster.

Cause

A self-hosted integration runtime can only be installed on one Kubernetes cluster. After it's registered, it can't be installed on another cluster before it's unregistered.

Resolution

  1. Check the self-hosted integration local status. You should see that no running self-hosted integration runtime is found.

    $./irctl describe
    
  2. Check the self-hosted integration runtime in the Microsoft Purview portal. You should see an Offline status. (Though, there's a 1 hour latency for token expiration.)

  3. Select Unregister installation next to the status and confirm the operation.

  4. After the unregistration is complete, you can see the status shows as Not registered.

  5. Select the integration runtime and get the registration key.

  6. Reinstall the integration runtime.
