Diagnose Gateway Error
Triage by Symptom
| Symptom | First Check | Invoke Skill |
|---|---|---|
| 5xx errors on all requests | Upstream connectivity, spec.address binding | omni-gateway-config |
| 4xx errors (auth/policy) | PolicyBinding targeting, policy config | omni-gateway-config |
| Gateway unreachable / port not responding | Listen address (0.0.0.0 vs localhost), port conflicts | omni-gateway-config |
| Policy not applying | PolicyBinding → ApiInstance cross-reference | omni-gateway-config |
upstream connect error / connection refused |
Upstream service health, routes config | omni-gateway-logs |
| TLS handshake failures | Certificate validity, TLS config in conf.d | omni-gateway-logs |
xDS disconnected / control plane errors |
Anypoint connectivity, registration token validity | omni-gateway-logs |
| STARTED state never reached | Registration artifact, conf.d correctness | omni-gateway-install (re-register), then omni-gateway-config |
| Known-good config still failing | Live deployed state may differ from conf.d | omni-gateway-dump |
By Available Artifact
- Logs provided → invoke
omni-gateway-logs - conf.d directory available → invoke
omni-gateway-config - Dump file provided → invoke
omni-gateway-dump - Symptom description only → ask the user which artifacts are available before proceeding
Escalation Decision
Self-serviceable
These issues can be resolved without escalating to the gateway team:
- Misconfigured
PolicyBinding(wrongtargetRef, missing ApiInstance) - Wrong
spec.address(usinglocalhostinstead of0.0.0.0) - Upstream service unreachable (network/firewall issue outside the gateway)
- Expired or revoked Anypoint registration token
Escalate to Gateway Team
These issues require gateway team involvement:
- Repeated xDS sync failure after verifying a valid configuration
- Envoy process crash (crash loop, OOMKill)
STARTEDstate never reached after valid registration and correct conf.d- Issue is reproducible after configuration is confirmed valid by
omni-gateway-config
Escalation Package Checklist
Collect all of the following before opening a support ticket:
- [ ] Full gateway logs at debug level (see
omni-gateway-logsfor how to enable) - [ ] Diagnostic dump file (see
omni-gateway-dumpfor analysis before escalating) - [ ]
conf.d/listing with secrets omitted (file names + kind/name inventory only) - [ ]
flexctl versionoutput - [ ] Platform: Linux / Docker / Kubernetes / CloudHub
- [ ] Reproducible steps or a timeline of when the failure started
