Stack driver adapter installation on istio

2/1/2020

We have installed Istio manually on GKE cluster. We want to install/add istio stack driver adapter so that Istio metrics are available on Stack Driver monitoring Dashboard of GCP. I am not able to get the metrics despite add the CRD as mentioned in

https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/istio-samples/blob/master/common/install_istio.sh

git clone https://github.com/istio/installer && cd installer helm template istio-telemetry/mixer-telemetry --execute=templates/stackdriver.yaml -f global.yaml --set mixer.adapters.stackdriver.enabled=true --namespace istio-system | kubectl apply -f -


I feel we are missing the authentication part. Can any one help in resolving this?

I was unable to replicate your set up and I notice that the Istio version downloaded by the script was 1.4.2 which is not supported by GKE at this moment. Nonetheless, I’d recommend you to check this document for troubleshooting and consult this guide to get Istio installed on GKE.

You should also be aware of couple of limitations when using Istio on GKE
