Surfacing Cilium error messages in `cilium status` #2590

Open nvibert opened 3 months ago

When troubleshooting Cilium installation and deployments, users often rely on the Cilium CLI to check the overall health of the Cilium deployment. While very useful, it lacks the context and the valuable logs that are often available on the Cilium agents.

As an example: when installing Cilium with incorrect settings, you might see fatal error messages in the Cilium agent logs, such as:

time="2024-06-10T14:23:43Z" level=fatal msg="invalid daemon configuration: native routing cidr must be configured with option --ipv6-native-routing-cidr in combination with --enable-ipv6=true --enable-ipv6-masquerade=true --enable-ip-masq-agent=false --routing-mode=native" subsys=daemon

These logs can be very instructive but require the user to check the logs across multiple Cilium agents or on the Cilium operator(s).

Could we append cilium status with logs of the fatal and error severity? This could be the default behaviour or when using a flag (cilium status --show-logs or something along the lines). This would be very helpful for operators of Cilium.
