Meaning

This alert fires when all the API Server pods are down.

Impact

KubeVirt objects cannot send API calls.

Diagnosis

1. Set the NAMESPACE environment variable:

   $ export NAMESPACE="$(kubectl get kubevirt -A -o custom-columns="":.metadata.namespace)"
   

2. Check the status of the virt-api pods:

   $ kubectl -n $NAMESPACE get pods -l kubevirt.io=virt-api
   

3. Check the status of the virt-api deployment:

   $ kubectl -n $NAMESPACE get deploy virt-api -o yaml
   

4. Check the virt-api deployment details for issues such as crashing pods or image pull failures:

   $ kubectl -n $NAMESPACE describe deploy virt-api
   

5. Check for issues such as nodes in a NotReady state:

   $ kubectl get nodes
