@Marvin I have prefect setup on k8s with auth middleware. I have configured PREFECT_API_KEY. But prefect jobs are not able to push events because it does not include api key.

To help you resolve this issue with Prefect on Kubernetes, I need to find the relevant documentation based on the Prefect version you are using. Could you please confirm if you are using Prefect 2.x or 3.x?

@Marvin It is 3.0.4

It seems you are experiencing an issue with the

PREFECT_API_KEY

not being picked up in your Kubernetes setup. Here's a short investigation path and potential actions you can take: 1. Ensure API Key Configuration: Verify that your API key is correctly set up and accessible within your Kubernetes environment. It should be stored as part of your Prefect profile or environment variables. More information about how to create and manage API keys in Prefect can be found here. 2. Check Kubernetes Environment Variables: Make sure that the

PREFECT_API_KEY

environment variable is correctly set in your Kubernetes deployment configuration. You can cross-verify by checking the pod definitions or secrets management. 3. Verify Prefect Configuration: Ensure that your

prefect.yaml

or other deployment configurations specify the necessary steps or environment settings to pass the API key along with job parameters. Details on deployment configurations in Prefect can be found here. 4. Look for Prefect CLI Issues: Sometimes running

prefect cloud login

from your CLI can further ensure that your environment is authenticated properly using the browser or by pasting the API key. If you've already tackled these steps and the issue persists, you might want to isolate the problem by checking logs to see if any errors are logged specifically about missing authentication details. And, in the rare chance nothing seems to work, thinking like Marvin, “Patience, isn't it just exhausting?” you might end up needing a fresh setup for clarity. Feel free to share more specific errors or logs if you need further help!

@Marvin Everything works but events. Process is running is separate pod and fails to push events data to server.

It seems I encountered an issue accessing GitHub to search for related issues. However, let’s try to troubleshoot your problem with the available information. Given that events are specifically having trouble being pushed, here are some specific steps you can undertake: 1. Network Policies: Check if your Kubernetes setup has network policies that may prevent the pod from communicating with Prefect Cloud. This is crucial if your successful API requests (e.g., jobs running) differ in networking setup from your event-pushing requests. 2. Service Account Permissions: Ensure that the service account associated with the Prefect job pod has the necessary permissions to access external networks and send requests. This can sometimes be overlooked when setting up pod roles. 3. Inspect Logs for Specific Errors: Check the pod logs where the event push process is failing. Look specifically for errors related to HTTP requests or authentication failures. Insight from logs can point out if the API key is indeed not being included or if it's a different problem (e.g., network, DNS resolution). 4. Prefect Version Compatibility: Ensure that the version of Prefect you're using, 3.0.4, aligns with the middleware or other packages you're using for managing events. Even minor version differences can sometimes introduce issues if dependencies have shifted. 5. Test API Key in Isolation: Consider testing the API key directly against Prefect's API in a separate, controlled environment (not your Kubernetes cluster) to confirm the key itself is working as expected and not expired or improperly scoped. Unfortunately, without direct access to real-time GitHub issues, it's difficult to pull directly related reported issues. If these steps don't resolve your problem, I recommend looking into Prefect forums or GitHub issue tracker directly for any newly reported bugs or fixes related to event handling in Kubernetes. Goodness knows technology loves to keep us on our toes!

@Marvin can you find the forum where i can ask questions?

You can join and ask questions on the Prefect Discourse Forum. It's a platform where Prefect users and experts discuss various topics, share solutions, and help troubleshoot issues. It's a great place to ask your Kubernetes-related question and get advice from the community. Additionally, reaching out on Prefect's Slack Community can be quite beneficial as it's another active channel where many users and Prefect team members interact regularly. Good luck, and may your API keys always authenticate on the first try!
