Stash debugging helper

[hossainemruz]

We can have some command in stash kubectl plugin that will help us for debugging. For example,

# For backup
kubectl stash debug backup --backupconfig=<backupconfig name> -n <namespace>
kubectl stash debug backup --backupsession=<backupsession name> -n <namespace>

# For restore
kubectl stash debug restore --restoresession=<restoresession name> -n <namespace>

The debug command will intelligently perform the action we often need to do for debugging for example, checking log, describing respective pod/backupconfig/backupsession etc.

It will also check for some common mistakes for example, new line in the secret, missing storage secret, check for network policy etc.

Viewing Log

If we want to see log of a backup/restore pod, we can just issue,

# For backup
kubectl stash log --backupsession=<backupsession name> -n <namespace>

# For restore
kubectl stash log --restoresession=<restoresession name> -n <namespace>

Fixing Secret

If the storage secret has newline in it, we can have some fix command.

kubectl stash fix secret --name=<secret name> -n <namespace>

Checking Database Connection

If we want to check whether the information provided in AppBinding is sufficient to connect with the database, we can use:

kubectl stash ping --appbinding=<appbinding>
