ISTIOCTL-DASHBOARD-ENVOY(1)

💅 istioctl-dashboard-envoy(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the istioctl-dashboard-envoy manual page (that's the manual name btw, section 1, we're fancy like that 🎀). this is the one that pops open the Envoy admin web UI for you. let's get into it 🌸

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

istioctl dashboard envoy [/][.] [flags]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. [/][.] means you can point at a pod or a deployment-ish thing, and then flags do flag things 🦋

---

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

open the Envoy admin dashboard for a sidecar. literally what it says on the tin, no cap 💖

⚠️ heads up bestie: the envoy command is deprecated, and you can swap it out for the proxy command instead. for example: istioctl dashboard proxy --help — she still works, she's just on her way out 💀

---

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

• -h, --help[=false] — help for envoy. the classic "what does anything do" button 🙈
• -l, --selector="" — Label selector. pick your pods by label, default is empty 🍓
• --ui-port=15000 — The component dashboard UI port. defaults to 15000, that's the number 👑

---

🧚 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🧚

these come from the parent command, so you get them for free, no extra charge 💜

• --address="localhost" — Address to listen on. Only accepts an IP address or localhost as a value. When localhost is supplied, istioctl will try to bind on both 127.0.0.1 and ::1, and will fail if neither of these addresses are available to bind 😭
• --as="" — Username to impersonate for the operation. User could be a regular user or a service account in a namespace. main character energy, but legally ✨
• --as-group=[] — Group to impersonate for the operation. this flag can be repeated to specify multiple groups, stack 'em up 🎀
• --as-uid="" — UID to impersonate for the operation 🔥
• --browser[=true] — When --browser is supplied as false, istioctl dashboard will not open the browser. Default is true, which means istioctl dashboard will always open a browser to view the dashboard 🦋
• --context="" — Kubernetes configuration context. pick your cluster, bestie ☁️
• -i, --istioNamespace="istio-system" — Istio system namespace. defaults to istio-system 💖
• --kubeclient-timeout="15s" — Kubernetes client timeout as a time.Duration string, defaults to 15 seconds ⏱️
• -c, --kubeconfig="" — Kubernetes configuration file 📁
• -n, --namespace="" — Kubernetes namespace 🌸
• -p, --port=0 — Local port to listen to. default is 0 🫶
• --vklog=0 — number for the log level verbosity. Like -v flag. ex: --vklog=9 📝

⭐ EXAMPLE ⭐

  # Open Envoy dashboard for the productpage-123-456.default pod
  istioctl dashboard envoy productpage-123-456.default

  # Open Envoy dashboard for one pod under a deployment
  istioctl dashboard envoy deployment/productpage-v1

  # with short syntax
  istioctl dash envoy productpage-123-456.default
  istioctl d envoy productpage-123-456.default

look at those shortcuts, istioctl dash and istioctl d — she is efficiency personified, we stan 😌💅
