VM Workload Auto-registration Fails due to Can't find Workloadgroup about istio

[howardjohn]

ISTIO_META_AUTO_REGISTER_GROUP: mesh-east-istio-vm

But your WG name is mesh-east-istio? (No -vm)

[CadenGuo]

Workload group name is also mesh-east-istio-vm:

apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: WorkloadGroup
metadata:
  name: "mesh-east-istio-vm"
  namespace: "mesh-east-istio"
spec:
  metadata:
    labels:
      app: mesh-east-istio-vm
  probe:
    tcpSocket:
      port: 8087
  template:
    labels:
      app: mesh-east-istio-vm
    network: vm-network
    serviceAccount: mesh-east-istio

And from the error log

upstream terminated with unexpected error rpc error: code = FailedPrecondition desc = auto-registration WorkloadEntry of ip-10-10-65-247.mesh-east-istio failed: cannot find WorkloadGroup mesh-east-istio/mesh-east-istio-vm

We can see istio is searching for workloadgroup mesh-east-istio-vm under the namespace mesh-east-istio

[howardjohn]

oops, sorry mixed up the name and namespace

[hzxuzhonghu]

Is there anyother error from istiod, any kube client related error

[CadenGuo]

Sorry for the late reply.

I didn't notice any error on the istiod side and kube client side. The CRD creation for workloadgroup went smoothly.
