Why does the Ingress status show an ERRESNF error?

Satellite

You can use the ibmcloud oc ingress status-report ignored-errors add command to add an error to the ignored-errors list. Ignored errors still appear in the output of the ibmcloud oc ingress status-report get command, but are ignored when calculating the overall Ingress Status.

When you check the status of your cluster's Ingress components by running the ibmcloud oc ingress status-report get command, you see an error similar to the following.

The external service is missing (ERRESNF).

The service that exposes the default Ingress Controller is missing from the cluster.

Check the external service and create it if it doesn't exist.

1. Get the details of the external service.

   oc get service -n openshift-ingress router-external-default
   

2. Get the external IP addresses of your worker nodes by running the following command. Make a note of the addresses in the EXTERNAL-IP column.

   kubectl get nodes -o wide
   

3. Save the following Service configuration as a YAML file called service.yaml.

   apiVersion: v1
   kind: Service
   metadata:
     labels:
       ingresscontroller.operator.openshift.io/owning-ingresscontroller: default
     name: router-external-default
     namespace: openshift-ingress
   spec:
     ports:
     - name: http
       port: 80
       protocol: TCP
       targetPort: http
     - name: https
       port: 443
       protocol: TCP
       targetPort: https
     selector:
       ingresscontroller.operator.openshift.io/deployment-ingresscontroller: default
     externalIPs:
     - x.x.x.x # Add your worker node external IP addresses.
   

4. Add the external IP addresses of your worker nodes that you retrieved earlier in the spec.externalIPs list.

5. Create the service.

   kubectl create -f service.yaml
   

6. Wait 10 to 15 minutes, then check if the warning is resolved.

7. If the issue persists, contact support. Open a support case. In the case details, be sure to include any relevant log files, error messages, or command outputs.
