Some lines ignored the zap encoder entirely, so `kubectl logs | jq` could
never work:
I0917 19:50:02.580097 1 leaderelection.go:258] "Attempting to acquire
leader lease..." lock="egress-proxies-operator-system/b47711d1..."
That is klog's own stderr writer, not ours. client-go's leader elector
calls klog.FromContext(ctx), and controller-runtime hands the elector a
context with no logr in it -- mgr.Start receives ctrl.SetupSignalHandler(),
which carries no logger. FromContext falls back to Background(), and with
no logger registered that is klog's text sink. Nothing here imported or
configured klog; it was an indirect dependency that around 60 linked
packages use, including client-go/tools/{leaderelection,cache,record} and
client-go/transport. controller-runtime does not route it either -- its
only klog.SetLogger call is in its own test suite.
Plain klog.SetLogger, deliberately not SetLoggerWithOptions with
ContextualLogger(true). The contextual form is what klog's docs recommend
because it skips a klogr round trip, but it also disables klog's verbosity
gate and hands the decision to zap, whose level under Development is Debug
-- so client-go's V(1) chatter, suppressed today by klog's own -v=0, would
have started appearing. Plain SetLogger keeps klog's check in front and
still redirects what it does emit. Same fix to the format, no new volume,
which matters because volume is what prompted this.
The discovery API's http.Server set no ErrorLog, so net/http's own faults
(a failed Accept, a panic escaping a handler) went to the stdlib logger on
stderr. It now drains into logr through logr.ToSlogHandler, the pattern
internal/provider/gcp/wirelog.go already uses for the same purpose.
The deployment gets --zap-encoder=json and --zap-time-encoding=rfc3339.
The flag beats the in-code Development default -- addDefaults fills
NewEncoder only when it is nil -- and the time encoding is not optional,
since the JSON encoder defaults to epoch seconds. Verbosity stays at debug
on purpose; --zap-log-level=info drops the per-RPC lines.
zap.Options{Development: true} stays as the in-code default: flipping it
would change the format for every deployment of this operator, and the
flags get the same result here without that reach.
k8s.io/klog/v2 moves from indirect to direct in go.mod. It was already in
the module graph, so nothing new is downloaded.
No tests: three changes, all wiring, in a file with no test coverage, and
pinning klog.SetLogger means mutating process-global state that leaks into
every other test in the package. Verified in-cluster instead --
`kubectl logs | jq -e -s 'length > 0'` now passes, which fails if any
single line is not JSON.
