It depends on how did you install istio.

if installed with helm install, then you can install add-ons using command like this:

helm upgrade istio istio-1.0.0/install/kubernetes/helm/istio --set grafana.enabled=true,servicegraph.enabled=true,tracing.enabled=true

or you installed with helm template, then you need to edit the values.yaml in your helm template directory to enable those add-ons, then install it:

helm template install/kubernetes/helm/istio --name istio --namespace istio-system > $HOME/istio.yaml
kubectl apply -f $HOME/istio.yaml
