Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • During a new deploy of an environment behind a proxy, a /query to the hawkular endpoint returns the error 'Status Code:500 Kubernetes client request failure':

    # oc logs hawkular-metrics-3ch7c
2017-07-03 15:55:25 Starting Hawkular Metrics
Error: the service account for Hawkular Metrics does not have permission to view resources in this namespace. View permissions are required for Hawkular Metrics to function properly.
Usually this can be resolved by running: oc adm policy add-role-to-user view system:serviceaccount:openshift-infra:hawkular -n openshift-infra
