🌸 ISTIOCTL-DASHBOARD-JAEGER 💅

okay bestie so this is the manual page for istioctl-dashboard-jaeger, page one of the ISTIOCTL-DASHBOARD-JAEGER(1) lineup — say that five times fast, i dare you 🫶. it's a tiny little page but it does exactly one iconic thing and it does it well.

✨ NAME ✨

istioctl-dashboard-jaeger — literally just opens the Jaeger web UI for you. that's the whole vibe. 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

istioctl dashboard jaeger [flags]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Open Istio's Jaeger dashboard. that's it, that's the paragraph 😭 — no cap, the original keeps it short and honestly? respect. you run it, Jaeger opens, you go look at your traces like the main character you are. ✨

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -h, --help[=false] — help for jaeger. your lil "wait what does this do again" button, no judgement 🌸
  • --ui-port=16686 — The component dashboard UI port. yes the default is 16686, and yes that's the number you keep seeing in your browser bar, iykyk 🔥

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

these ones you didn't get from jaeger itself — they're heirlooms passed down from the parent command, and they're all still absolutely valid here 🎀

  • --address="localhost" — Address to listen on. Only accepts 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 address are available to bind — so if it's acting up, that's your vibe check 💀
  • --as="" — Username to impersonate for the operation. User could be a regular user or a service account in a namespace. dress-up mode, but for auth 🙈
  • --as-group=[] — Group to impersonate for the operation, this flag can be repeated to specify multiple groups. stack 'em, collect 'em 🫶
  • --as-uid="" — UID to impersonate for the operation. the numeric version of the dress-up, slay ⭐
  • --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. so like, pass false if you're a "i'll paste the URL myself" girlie 💅
  • --context="" — Kubernetes configuration context. pick your kubeconfig era 🌸
  • -i, --istioNamespace="istio-system" — Istio system namespace. default istio-system, iconic as ever 👑
  • --kubeclient-timeout="15s" — Kubernetes client timeout as a time.Duration string, defaults to 15 seconds. it's patient, but not that patient 😭
  • -c, --kubeconfig="" — Kubernetes configuration file. point it at your fave file 🍓
  • -n, --namespace="" — Kubernetes namespace. lowercase n, tiny but mighty 🧚
  • -p, --port=0 — Local port to listen to. 0 means "you pick, universe" ✨
  • --vklog=0 — number for the log level verbosity. Like -v flag. ex: --vklog=9. crank it up when you need to see everything 🔍

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

  istioctl dashboard jaeger

  # with short syntax
  istioctl dash jaeger
  istioctl d jaeger

three ways to say the same thing and honestly all of them ate 💅 the short ones are for when typing is simply too much.

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

tiny heads-up bestie: --address only takes an IP address or localhost, and that 127.0.0.1 / ::1 binding thing is a real hard fail if neither works, so don't come for me if it yells at you 💀
