You may find that the Harness delegate fails to connect to Harness SaaS services using GRPC. This will usually show as ping/pong error messages in the delegate log.
Troubleshooting the GRPC connection is hard, so this documents a method to do it using the grpcurl command.
Download/install
On Linux machines, you can download the GRPCurl utility using these commands:
curl -LO https://github.com/fullstorydev/grpcurl/releases/download/v1.8.0/grpcurl_1.8.0_linux_x86_64.tar.gz
tar -zxvf grpcurl_1.8.0_linux_x86_64.tar.gz
chmod +x ./grpcurl
On Mac machines, it is recommended that you install using homebrew:
brew install grpcurl
testing GRPC
The following command could be used to test GRPC communication to the Harness manager:
grpcurl -authority events-grpc-app.harness.io app.harness.io:443 list
The returned results are something like this:
grpc.health.v1.Health
grpc.reflection.v1alpha.ServerReflection
io.harness.event.EventPublisher`
If GRPC connection fails, it will show an error similar to this:
Failed to dial target host "app.harness.io:443": context deadline exceeded
