I'm trying to access the following db in my flask app
app.config['MONGO_DBNAME'] = 'pymongo_db'
app.config['MONGO_URI'] = 'mongodb://<dbuser>:<dbpassword>@ds163984.mlab.com:63984/pymongo_db'but istio is blocking me so I created a ServiceEntry and a VirtualService. However, I think my config is wrong as it's not working correctly. Can somehow tell me what I'm doing wrong? https://istio.io/docs/tasks/traffic-management/egress/
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3

apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3

There is an excellent blog post on various ways to configure access to mongodb. It sounds like this section is what you are trying to do.
