Checklist

If you are not familiar with our processes or don't know what to answer in the list below, let us know in a comment: the maintainers will take care of that.

• Will this change affect NetObserv / Network Observability operator? If not, you can ignore the rest of this checklist.
• Is this PR backed with a JIRA ticket? If so, make sure it is written as a title prefix (in general, PRs affecting the NetObserv/Network Observability product should be backed with a JIRA ticket - especially if they bring user facing changes).
• Does this PR require product documentation?
  • If so, make sure the JIRA epic is labelled with "documentation" and provides a description relevant for doc writers, such as use cases or scenarios. Any required step to activate or configure the feature should be documented there, such as new CRD knobs.
• Does this PR require a product release notes entry?
  • If so, fill in "Release Note Text" in the JIRA.
• Is there anything else the QE team should know before testing? E.g: configuration changes, environment setup, etc.
  • If so, make sure it is described in the JIRA ticket.
• QE requirements (check 1 from the list):
  • Standard QE validation, with pre-merge tests unless stated otherwise.
  • Regression tests only (e.g. refactoring with no user-facing change).
  • No QE (e.g. trivial change with high reviewer's confidence, or per agreement with the QE team).

Same here, we may reuse ClientConfig that contains TLSConfig ?
https://github.com/prometheus/common/blob/v0.66.1/config/http_config.go#L1113

[jotak]

Just checked that, surely that's doable, but prom's TLS config contains more advanced settings (e.g. min / max versions) which we would need to support in our implementation in the loki-client, if we want to be consistent with the proposed settings. Or we would need to reuse prom's implementation but I'm not sure they have grpc in the go-client. So perhaps having our own struct is good enough for now, after all.

[jotak]

wait, actually, we do also have another TLS struct of our own: api.ClientTLS
That one could be reused easily, no ?
/hold

[leandroberetta]

Hi, I've just seen this comment, actually, I did the work to reuse the prom's tls config. Also, I've made the necessary changes in the loki-client-go at netobserv/loki-client-go#4

@jotak the one you mentioned is used for Kafka and it seemed to be more simple than the prom one, for example, for now, communicating with the distributor in grpc mode, I need to configure mTLS which I don't see that is possible with the kafka one.

[jotak]

oh, cool, that should be even better

[jotak]

you can now remove that as this was merged

thanks @leandroberetta !

@memodi question, I'm noticing the e2e tests are timeouting, I couldn't find more information in the logs. Extending the time might be a possible solution?.

@memodi question, I'm noticing the e2e tests are timeouting, I couldn't find more information in the logs. Extending the time might be a possible solution?.

indeed, the default timeout is 2h, we could increase it like it has here: https://github.com/openshift/release/blob/master/ci-operator/config/netobserv/flowlogs-pipeline/netobserv-flowlogs-pipeline-main.yaml#L99 , would you mind raising a PR?

Sure, openshift/release#70336

Let me know if I need to do something else, I couldn't assign it to you. First PR there :)
