Access Verrazzano

Get the consoles URLs

Verrazzano installs several consoles. The endpoints for an installation are stored in the Status field of the installed Verrazzano Custom Resource. You can get the endpoints for these consoles by issuing the following command and examining the Status.Instance field:

$ kubectl get vz -o yaml

The resulting output is similar to the following (abbreviated to show only the relevant portions):

  ...
  status:
    conditions:
    - lastTransitionTime: "2021-06-30T03:10:00Z"
      message: Verrazzano install in progress
      status: "True"
      type: InstallStarted
    - lastTransitionTime: "2021-06-30T03:18:33Z"
      message: Verrazzano install completed successfully
      status: "True"
      type: InstallComplete
    instance:
      consoleUrl: https://verrazzano.default.11.22.33.44.nip.io
      elasticUrl: https://elasticsearch.vmi.system.default.11.22.33.44.nip.io
      grafanaUrl: https://grafana.vmi.system.default.11.22.33.44.nip.io
      keyCloakUrl: https://keycloak.default.11.22.33.44.nip.io
      kialiUrl: https://kiali.vmi.system.default.11.22.33.44.nip.io
      kibanaUrl: https://kibana.vmi.system.default.11.22.33.44.nip.io
      prometheusUrl: https://prometheus.vmi.system.default.11.22.33.44.nip.io
      rancherUrl: https://rancher.default.11.22.33.44.nip.io

If you have jq installed, then you can use the following command to get the instance URLs more directly:

$ kubectl get vz -o jsonpath="{.items[].status.instance}" | jq .

The following is an example of the output:

{
"consoleUrl": "https://verrazzano.default.11.22.33.44.nip.io",
"elasticUrl": "https://elasticsearch.vmi.system.default.11.22.33.44.nip.io",
"grafanaUrl": "https://grafana.vmi.system.default.11.22.33.44.nip.io",
"keyCloakUrl": "https://keycloak.default.11.22.33.44.nip.io",
"kialiUrl": "https://kiali.vmi.system.default.11.22.33.44.nip.io",
"kibanaUrl": "https://kibana.vmi.system.default.11.22.33.44.nip.io",
"prometheusUrl": "https://prometheus.vmi.system.default.11.22.33.44.nip.io",
"rancherUrl": "https://rancher.default.11.22.33.44.nip.io"
}
