Posted on January 11, 2021

After installing Vitess to my clean k8s cluster via https://cloud.digitalocean.com/marketplace/5e9749475aa8bf3a953f004e I get an error in vtgate pod:

ERROR: logging before flag.Parse: E0111 14:50:21.881532       1 syslogger.go:149] can't connect to syslog

pod fails

@gospl Can you also reproduce this same issue on a local development cluster? If not, then there may be an issue with K8s resource definitions. If so, then you need to provide a reproducible test case in order to better assist you. For example, what are the steps to generate this error message and do you have a Github or other repository that can be reviewed? Well, I must go and I look forward to your feedback.
