Access logging is a feature provided with Istio ingress. By enabling access logging, you will be able to get information about the traffic that passes through the ingress gateway. Access logging is disabled by default.
To enable access logging, add the following stanza to your overrides file:
... ingress: enableAccesslog: true ...
When your cluster is running, you can view access logs as follows:
kubectl get pods -n istio-system
istio-ingressgateway pod:
kubectl logs istio-ingressgatway-pod-name -n istio-system
Logs are returned in JSON format.
