Perform a preflight check
The importer has a preflight check that can verify that the most important configurations have been created correctly. This preflight check is carried out automatically when the importer is installed. The following points are tested:
- The accessibility of the exporter's API.
- The SSH connection from the exporter to the importer.
- Access to the Kubernetes resources of the importing system.
If problems occur during the preflight check, the importer aborts the installation. Further information can be found in the logs:
kubectl logs deploy/ces-importerNo email is sent after a failed preflight.
Deactivate preflight
In some situations, it makes sense not to run the preflight check when starting the importer. For example
if the exporter has not yet been installed. In these cases, the
configuration key config/migration/executePreflightCheck can be set to false during the installation of the importer.
The preflight check is then skipped completely.
