## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
To use the Barman Cloud Plugin, you need:
|
||||
Before using the Barman Cloud Plugin, ensure that the following components are
|
||||
installed and properly configured:
|
||||
|
||||
- [CloudNativePG](https://cloudnative-pg.io) version **1.26** <!-- ADD WHEN 1.27 IS OUT "or later" -->
|
||||
- [cert-manager](https://cert-manager.io/) to enable TLS communication between
|
||||
the plugin and the operator
|
||||
- [CloudNativePG](https://cloudnative-pg.io) version 1.26 or later
|
||||
|
||||
- We strongly recommend version 1.27.0 or later, which includes improved
|
||||
error handling and status reporting for the plugin.
|
||||
- If you are running an earlier release, refer to the
|
||||
[upgrade guide](https://cloudnative-pg.io/documentation/current/installation_upgrade).
|
||||
|
||||
- [cert-manager](https://cert-manager.io/)
|
||||
|
||||
- The recommended way to enable secure TLS communication between the plugin
|
||||
and the operator.
|
||||
- Alternatively, you can provide your own certificate bundles. See the
|
||||
[CloudNativePG documentation on TLS configuration](https://cloudnative-pg.io/documentation/current/cnpg_i/#configuring-tls-certificates).
|
||||
|
||||
- [`kubectl-cnpg`](https://cloudnative-pg.io/documentation/current/kubectl-plugin/)
|
||||
plugin (optional but recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
- Simplifies debugging and monitoring with additional status and inspection
|
||||
commands.
|
||||
- Multiple installation options are available in the
|
||||
[installation guide](https://cloudnative-pg.io/documentation/current/kubectl-plugin/#install).

# Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- SPDX-License-Identifier: CC-BY-4.0 -->
|
||||
|
||||
This guide helps you diagnose and resolve common issues with the Barman Cloud
|
||||
plugin.
|
||||
|
||||
:::important
|
||||
We are continuously improving the integration between CloudNativePG and the
|
||||
Barman Cloud plugin as it moves toward greater stability and maturity. For this
|
||||
reason, we recommend using the latest available version of both components.
|
||||
See the [*Requirements* section](intro.md#requirements) for details.
|
||||
:::
|
||||
|
||||
:::note
|
||||
The following commands assume you installed the CloudNativePG operator in
|
||||
the default `cnpg-system` namespace. If you installed it in a different
|
||||
namespace, adjust the commands accordingly.
|
||||
:::
|
||||
|
||||
## Viewing Logs
|
||||
|
||||
To troubleshoot effectively, you’ll often need to review logs from multiple
|
||||
sources:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# View operator logs (includes plugin interaction logs)
|
||||
kubectl logs -n cnpg-system deployment/cnpg-controller-manager -f
|
||||
|
||||
# View plugin manager logs
|
||||
kubectl logs -n cnpg-system deployment/barman-cloud -f
|
||||
|
||||
# View sidecar container logs (Barman Cloud operations)
|
||||
kubectl logs -n <namespace> <cluster-pod-name> -c plugin-barman-cloud -f
|
||||
|
||||
# View all containers in a pod
|
||||
kubectl logs -n <namespace> <cluster-pod-name> --all-containers=true
|
||||
|
||||
# View previous container logs (if container restarted)
|
||||
kubectl logs -n <namespace> <cluster-pod-name> -c plugin-barman-cloud --previous
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### Plugin Installation Issues
|
||||
|
||||
#### Plugin pods not starting
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Plugin pods stuck in `CrashLoopBackOff` or `Error`
|
||||
- Plugin deployment not ready
|
||||
|
||||
**Possible causes and solutions:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Certificate issues**
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# Check if cert-manager is installed and running
|
||||
kubectl get pods -n cert-manager
|
||||
|
||||
# Check if the plugin certificate is created
|
||||
kubectl get certificates -n cnpg-system
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If cert-manager is not installed, install it first:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# Note: other installation methods for cert-manager are available
|
||||
kubectl apply -f \
|
||||
https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/latest/download/cert-manager.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using your own certificates without cert-manager, you will need
|
||||
to verify the entire certificate chain yourself.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Image pull errors**
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# Check pod events for image pull errors
|
||||
kubectl describe pod -n cnpg-system -l app=barman-cloud
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Verify the image exists and you have proper credentials if using a private
|
||||
registry.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Resource constraints**
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# Check node resources
|
||||
kubectl top nodes
|
||||
kubectl describe nodes
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your cluster has sufficient CPU and memory resources.
|
||||
|
||||
### Backup Failures
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Backup Troubleshooting Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
When a backup fails, follow these steps in order:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Check backup status**:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
kubectl get backups.postgresql.cnpg.io -n <namespace>
|
||||
```
|
||||
2. **Get error details and target pod**:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
kubectl describe backups.postgresql.cnpg.io \
|
||||
-n <namespace> <backup-name>
|
||||
|
||||
kubectl get backups.postgresql.cnpg.io \
|
||||
-n <namespace> <backup-name> \
|
||||
-o jsonpath='{.status.instanceID.podName}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
3. **Check the target pod’s sidecar logs**:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
TARGET_POD=$(kubectl get backups.postgresql.cnpg.io \
|
||||
-n <namespace> <backup-name> \
|
||||
-o jsonpath='{.status.instanceID.podName}')
|
||||
|
||||
kubectl logs \
|
||||
-n <namespace> $TARGET_POD -c plugin-barman-cloud \
|
||||
--tail=100 | grep -E "ERROR|FATAL|panic"
|
||||
```
|
||||
4. **Check cluster events**:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
kubectl get events -n <namespace> \
|
||||
--field-selector involvedObject.name=<cluster-name> \
|
||||
--sort-by='.lastTimestamp'
|
||||
```
|
||||
5. **Verify plugin is running**:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
kubectl get pods \
|
||||
-n cnpg-system -l app=barman-cloud
|
||||
```
|
||||
6. **Check operator logs**:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
kubectl logs \
|
||||
-n cnpg-system deployment/cnpg-controller-manager \
|
||||
--tail=100 | grep -i "backup\|plugin"
|
||||
```
|
||||
7. **Check plugin manager logs**:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
kubectl logs \
|
||||
-n cnpg-system deployment/barman-cloud --tail=100
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Backup job fails immediately
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Backup pods terminate with error
|
||||
- No backup files appear in object storage
|
||||
- Backup shows `failed` phase with various error messages
|
||||
|
||||
**Common failure modes and solutions:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **"requested plugin is not available" errors**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
requested plugin is not available: barman
|
||||
requested plugin is not available: barman-cloud
|
||||
requested plugin is not available: barman-cloud.cloudnative-pg.io
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Cause:** The plugin name in the Cluster configuration doesn’t match the
|
||||
deployed plugin, or the plugin isn’t registered.
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:**
|
||||
|
||||
a. **Check plugin registration:**
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# If you have the `cnpg` plugin installed (v1.27.0+)
|
||||
kubectl cnpg status -n <namespace> <cluster-name>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Look for the "Plugins status" section:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Plugins status
|
||||
Name Version Status Reported Operator Capabilities
|
||||
---- ------- ------ ------------------------------
|
||||
barman-cloud.cloudnative-pg.io 0.6.0 N/A Reconciler Hooks, Lifecycle Service
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
b. **Verify plugin name in `Cluster` spec**:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
apiVersion: postgresql.cnpg.io/v1
|
||||
kind: Cluster
|
||||
spec:
|
||||
plugins:
|
||||
- name: barman-cloud.cloudnative-pg.io
|
||||
parameters:
|
||||
barmanObjectStore: <your-objectstore-name>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
c. **Check plugin deployment is running**:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
kubectl get deployment -n cnpg-system barman-cloud
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **"rpc error: code = Unknown desc = panic caught: assignment to entry in nil map" errors**
|
||||
|
||||
**Cause:** Misconfiguration in the `ObjectStore` (e.g., typo or missing field).
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Review sidecar logs for details
|
||||
- Verify `ObjectStore` configuration and secrets
|
||||
- Common issues include:
|
||||
- Missing or incorrect secret references
|
||||
- Typos in configuration parameters
|
||||
- Missing required environment variables in secrets
|
||||
|
||||
#### Backup performance issues
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Backups take extremely long
|
||||
- Backups timeout
|
||||
|
||||
**Plugin-specific considerations:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Check `ObjectStore` parallelism settings**
|
||||
- Adjust `maxParallel` in `ObjectStore` configuration
|
||||
- Monitor sidecar container resource usage during backups
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Verify plugin resource allocation**
|
||||
- Check if the sidecar container has sufficient CPU/memory
|
||||
- Review plugin container logs for resource-related warnings
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### WAL Archiving Issues
|
||||
|
||||
#### WAL archiving stops
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms:**
|
||||
|
||||
- WAL files accumulate on the primary
|
||||
- Cluster shows WAL archiving warnings
|
||||
- Sidecar logs show WAL errors
|
||||
|
||||
**Debugging steps:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Check plugin sidecar logs for WAL archiving errors**
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# Check recent WAL archive operations in sidecar
|
||||
kubectl logs -n <namespace> <primary-pod> -c plugin-barman-cloud \
|
||||
--tail=50 | grep -i wal
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Check ObjectStore configuration for WAL settings**
|
||||
- Ensure ObjectStore has proper WAL retention settings
|
||||
- Verify credentials have permissions for WAL operations
|
||||
|
||||
### Restore Issues
|
||||
|
||||
#### Restore fails during recovery
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms:**
|
||||
|
||||
- New cluster stuck in recovery
|
||||
- Plugin sidecar shows restore errors
|
||||
- PostgreSQL won’t start
|
||||
|
||||
**Debugging steps:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Check plugin sidecar logs during restore**
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# Check the sidecar logs on the recovering cluster pods
|
||||
kubectl logs -n <namespace> <cluster-pod-name> \
|
||||
-c plugin-barman-cloud --tail=100
|
||||
|
||||
# Look for restore-related errors
|
||||
kubectl logs -n <namespace> <cluster-pod-name> \
|
||||
-c plugin-barman-cloud | grep -E "restore|recovery|ERROR"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Verify plugin can access backups**
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# Check if `ObjectStore` is properly configured for restore
|
||||
kubectl get objectstores.barmancloud.cnpg.io \
|
||||
-n <namespace> <objectstore-name> -o yaml
|
||||
|
||||
# Check PostgreSQL recovery logs
|
||||
kubectl logs -n <namespace> <cluster-pod> \
|
||||
-c postgres | grep -i recovery
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
#### Point-in-time recovery (PITR) configuration issues
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms:**
|
||||
|
||||
- PITR doesn’t reach target time
|
||||
- WAL access errors
|
||||
- Recovery halts early
|
||||
|
||||
**Debugging steps:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Verify PITR configuration in the `Cluster` spec**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
apiVersion: postgresql.cnpg.io/v1
|
||||
kind: Cluster
|
||||
metadata:
|
||||
name: <cluster-restore-name>
|
||||
spec:

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Check sidecar logs for WAL-related errors**
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
kubectl logs -n <namespace> <cluster-pod> \
|
||||
-c plugin-barman-cloud | grep -i wal

|
||||
:::
|
||||
|
||||
### Plugin Configuration Issues
|
||||
|
||||
#### Plugin cannot connect to object storage
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Sidecar logs show connection errors
|
||||
- Backups fail with authentication or network errors
|
||||
- `ObjectStore` resource reports errors
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Verify `ObjectStore` CRD configuration and secrets**
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# Check ObjectStore resource status
|
||||
kubectl get objectstores.barmancloud.cnpg.io \
|
||||
-n <namespace> <objectstore-name> -o yaml
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify the secret exists and has correct keys for your provider
|
||||
kubectl get secret -n <namespace> <secret-name> \
|
||||
-o jsonpath='{.data}' | jq 'keys'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Check sidecar logs for connectivity issues**
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
kubectl logs -n <namespace> <cluster-pod> \
|
||||
-c plugin-barman-cloud | grep -E "connect|timeout|SSL|cert"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Adjust provider-specific settings (endpoint, path style, etc.)**
|
||||
- See [Object Store Configuration](object_stores.md) for provider-specific settings
|
||||
- Ensure `endpointURL` and `s3UsePathStyle` match your storage type
|
||||
- Verify network policies allow egress to your storage provider
|
||||
|
||||
## Diagnostic Commands
|
||||
|
||||
### Using the `cnpg` plugin for `kubectl`

## Known Issues and Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
### Current Known Issues
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Migration compatibility**: After migrating from in-tree backup to the
|
||||
plugin, the `kubectl cnpg backup` command syntax has changed
|
||||
([#353](https://github.com/cloudnative-pg/plugin-barman-cloud/issues/353)):
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# Old command (in-tree, no longer works after migration)
|
||||
kubectl cnpg backup -n <namespace> <cluster-name> \
|
||||
--method=barmanObjectStore
|
||||
|
||||
# New command (plugin-based)
|
||||
kubectl cnpg backup -n <namespace> <cluster-name> \
|
||||
--method=plugin --plugin-name=barman-cloud.cloudnative-pg.io
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Plugin Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Installation method**: Currently only supports manifest and Kustomize
|
||||
installation ([#351](https://github.com/cloudnative-pg/plugin-barman-cloud/issues/351) -
|
||||
Helm chart requested)
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Sidecar resource sharing**: The plugin sidecar container shares pod
|
||||
resources with PostgreSQL
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Plugin restart behavior**: Restarting the sidecar container requires
|
||||
restarting the entire PostgreSQL pod
|
||||
|
||||
## Recap of General Debugging Steps
|
||||
|
||||
### Check Backup Status and Identify the Target Instance
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# List all backups and their status
|
||||
kubectl get backups.postgresql.cnpg.io -n <namespace>
|
||||
|
||||
# Get detailed backup information including error messages and target instance
|
||||
kubectl describe backups.postgresql.cnpg.io \
|
||||
-n <namespace> <backup-name>
|
||||
|
||||
# Extract the target pod name from a failed backup
|
||||
kubectl get backups.postgresql.cnpg.io \
|
||||
-n <namespace> <backup-name> \
|
||||
-o jsonpath='{.status.instanceID.podName}'
|
||||
|
||||
# Get more details including the target pod, method, phase, and error
|
||||
kubectl get backups.postgresql.cnpg.io \
|
||||
-n <namespace> <backup-name> \
|
||||
-o jsonpath='Pod: {.status.instanceID.podName}{"\n"}Method: {.status.method}{"\n"}Phase: {.status.phase}{"\n"}Error: {.status.error}{"\n"}'
|
||||
|
||||
# Check the cluster status for backup-related information
|
||||
kubectl cnpg status <cluster-name> -n <namespace> --verbose
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Check Sidecar Logs on the Backup Target Pod
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# Identify which pod was the backup target (from the previous step)
|
||||
TARGET_POD=$(kubectl get backups.postgresql.cnpg.io \
|
||||
-n <namespace> <backup-name> \
|
||||
-o jsonpath='{.status.instanceID.podName}')
|
||||
echo "Backup target pod: $TARGET_POD"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check the sidecar logs on the specific target pod
|
||||
kubectl logs -n <namespace> $TARGET_POD \
|
||||
-c plugin-barman-cloud --tail=100
|
||||
|
||||
# Follow the logs in real time
|
||||
kubectl logs -n <namespace> $TARGET_POD \
|
||||
-c plugin-barman-cloud -f
|
||||
|
||||
# Check for specific errors in the target pod around the backup time
|
||||
kubectl logs -n <namespace> $TARGET_POD \
|
||||
-c plugin-barman-cloud --since=10m | grep -E "ERROR|FATAL|panic|failed"
|
||||
|
||||
# Alternative: List all cluster pods and their roles
|
||||
kubectl get pods -n <namespace> -l cnpg.io/cluster=<cluster-name> \
|
||||
-o custom-columns=NAME:.metadata.name,ROLE:.metadata.labels.cnpg\\.io/instanceRole,INSTANCE:.metadata.labels.cnpg\\.io/instanceName
|
||||
|
||||
# Check sidecar logs on ALL cluster pods (if the target is unclear)
|
||||
for pod in $(kubectl get pods -n <namespace> -l cnpg.io/cluster=<cluster-name> -o name); do
|
||||
echo "=== Checking $pod ==="
|
||||
kubectl logs -n <namespace> $pod -c plugin-barman-cloud \
|
||||
--tail=20 | grep -i error || echo "No errors found"
|
||||
done
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Check Events for Backup-Related Issues
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# Check events for the cluster
|
||||
kubectl get events -n <namespace> \
|
||||
--field-selector involvedObject.name=<cluster-name>
|
||||
|
||||
# Check events for failed backups
|
||||
kubectl get events -n <namespace> \
|
||||
--field-selector involvedObject.kind=Backup
|
||||
|
||||
# Get all recent events in the namespace
|
||||
kubectl get events -n <namespace> --sort-by='.lastTimestamp' | tail -20
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Verify `ObjectStore` Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# Check the ObjectStore resource
|
||||
kubectl get objectstores.barmancloud.cnpg.io \
|
||||
-n <namespace> <objectstore-name> -o yaml
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify the secret exists and has the correct keys
|
||||
kubectl get secret -n <namespace> <secret-name> -o yaml
|
||||
# Alternatively
|
||||
kubectl get secret -n <namespace> <secret-name> -o jsonpath='{.data}' | jq 'keys'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Error Messages and Solutions
|
||||
|
||||
* **"AccessDenied" or "403 Forbidden"** — Check cloud credentials and bucket permissions.
|
||||
* **"NoSuchBucket"** — Verify the bucket exists and the endpoint URL is correct.
|
||||
* **"Connection timeout"** — Check network connectivity and firewall rules.
|
||||
* **"SSL certificate problem"** — For self-signed certificates, verify the CA bundle configuration.
