Linkerd linkerd-proxy 410 gone

The requested resource is no longer available and will not be available again.

Understanding Linkerd

Linkerd is a powerful service mesh for Kubernetes that provides critical observability, security, and reliability features to microservices. It acts as a transparent proxy, handling all network traffic between services, and offers features like automatic retries, timeouts, and circuit breaking.

Identifying the Symptom: 410 Gone

When using Linkerd, you might encounter the error message linkerd-proxy 410 gone. This indicates that a requested resource is no longer available and will not be available again. This HTTP status code is a client error response indicating that the server is aware that the resource is permanently unavailable.

Common Scenarios

  • Attempting to access a deprecated API endpoint.
  • Requesting a resource that has been intentionally removed.

Exploring the Issue

The 410 Gone error is a standard HTTP status code that signifies the permanent unavailability of a resource. In the context of Linkerd, this could mean that a service or endpoint that was previously available is now removed or deprecated. This is different from a 404 Not Found error, which indicates that the resource might be available again in the future.

Why It Happens

This error typically occurs when a service or API endpoint has been intentionally removed from the server. It is a way for the server to inform the client that the resource should no longer be requested.

Steps to Resolve the Issue

To resolve the 410 Gone error in Linkerd, follow these steps:

  1. Identify the Deprecated Resource: Determine which resource or endpoint is causing the error. Check your service logs or Linkerd dashboard for more details.
  2. Update Client References: Remove or update any client-side references to the deprecated resource. This may involve updating URLs in your application code or configuration files.
  3. Consult Documentation: Review the service or API documentation to find alternative endpoints or resources. Many services provide migration guides when deprecating endpoints.
  4. Test the Changes: After updating your application, test to ensure that the error is resolved and that the application functions as expected.
