ISTIOCTL-PROXY-CONFIG-SECRET(1)

💖 ISTIOCTL-PROXY-CONFIG-SECRET 💖

okay so bestie, you're looking at istioctl-proxy-config-secret, which lives in the ISTIOCTL-PROXY-CONFIG-SECRET(1) manual. Say that five times fast, i dare you 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

istioctl-proxy-config-secret — literally just retrieves the secret configuration for the Envoy running inside the pod you point at 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

istioctl proxy-config secret [/][.] [flags]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So what this does is pull up all the info about the secret configuration for the Envoy instance chillin' in the pod you specify. That's it, that's the gig ✨

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -f, --file="" — an Envoy config dump JSON file 📄
• -h, --help[=false] — help for secret (iconic of it, honestly)
• -o, --output="short" — the output format, and you get to pick one of json|yaml|short. the default is short 🍓

---

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

like, these aren't even hers, she got them from her parent commands, and they're all still here because we don't gatekeep 🌈

• --as="" — username to impersonate for the operation. could be a regular user or a service account in a namespace 🧚
• --as-group=[] — group to impersonate for the operation, and yes you can repeat this flag to specify multiple groups, go off 👏
• --as-uid="" — UID to impersonate for the operation 💫
• --context="" — Kubernetes configuration context
• -i, --istioNamespace="istio-system" — the Istio system namespace, defaults to istio-system like the queen she is 👑
• --kubeclient-timeout="15s" — Kubernetes client timeout as a time.Duration string, defaults to 15 seconds ⏱️
• -c, --kubeconfig="" — Kubernetes configuration file
• -n, --namespace="" — Kubernetes namespace
• --proxy-admin-port=15000 — Envoy proxy admin port, and it's 15000 unless you say otherwise
• --vklog=0 — number for the log level verbosity. like the -v flag. ex: --vklog=9 🔥

💀 EXAMPLE 💀

the way these examples just make it click?? no cap, copy-paste energy fr fr:

# Retrieve full secret configuration for a given pod from Envoy.
istioctl proxy-config secret <pod-name[.namespace]>

# Retrieve full secret configuration for a pod under a deployment from Envoy.
istioctl proxy-config secret deployment/<deployment-name[.namespace]>

# Retrieve full bootstrap without using Kubernetes API
ssh <user@hostname> 'curl localhost:15000/config_dump' > envoy-config.json
istioctl proxy-config secret --file envoy-config.json

that third one?? lowkey the main character — you're skipping the Kubernetes API entirely by grabbing localhost:15000/config_dump over ssh into envoy-config.json and feeding it in with --file. obsessed 😭💖

heads up bestie: the -o/--output flag only takes json, yaml, or short. anything else and the vibe check fails 🙈
