Airflow webserver pod unable to get log from worker pod

I have deployed Airflow [2.9.3] in AKS. But when executing the DAGS getting below error. Don't getting any clue what needs to be updated. I am using Helm [1.15.0] for deployment. I am totally clueless please help..

Error

Could not read served logs: HTTPConnectionPool(host='file-sensor-waiting-for-trigger-file-in-nprd-vgcdjyz8', port=8793): Max retries exceeded with url: /log/dag_id=file_sensor/run_id=manual__2024-11-06T03:10:17.703058+00:00/task_id=waiting_for_trigger_file_in_nprd/attempt=4.log (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7f8f23131760>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno -2] Name or service not known'))

Updated after doing some updates as below

I have created one "Connection" for "Azure Blob Storage" from Webportal with the name "adlsgen2". The connection was successfully tested.

Then I updated "logging:" in values.yaml with below code

config:
  core:
    dags_folder: '{{ include "airflow_dags" . }}'
    # This is ignored when used with the official Docker image
    load_examples: 'False'
    executor: '{{ .Values.executor }}'
    # For Airflow 1.10, backward compatibility; moved to [logging] in 2.0
    colored_console_log: 'False'
    remote_logging: '{{- ternary "True" "False" .Values.elasticsearch.enabled }}'
  logging:
    # remote_logging: '{{- ternary "True" "False" .Values.elasticsearch.enabled }}'
    remote_logging: 'True'
    remote_log_con_id: 'adlsgen2'
    remote_base_log_folder: 'wasb://airflowlogs@testadlsgen.blob.core.windows.net/logs'
    delete_local_logs: 'True'
    colored_console_log: 'False'

Then I executed below commands to roll out the DNS.

Then I executed below commands to re deploy the airflow with helm. And it was successfully deployed.

helm upgrade airflow apache-airflow/airflow --namespace dfs-test -f values.yaml

But I am getting below warning when looking into web server

When I am trying to access the web server from browser I am able to login and found that log massage is gone. But no log is showing. Also no log is written in Blob storage, where I made my webconnection for logging. .

This error typically arises from misconfigured DNS within the cluster

deploy one airflow namespace to isolate the environment.

kubectl create namespace airflow
kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=airflow

add the repo for apache

helm repo add apache-airflow https://airflow.apache.org
helm repo update

Create a config file for exampleairflow-values.yaml to specify the configuration of Airflow components, including the executor type, ingress, and logging settings

executor: "CeleryExecutor"
airflowVersion: "2.9.3"

web:
  service:
    type: LoadBalancer
  defaultUser:
    enabled: true
    username: admin
    password: admin
  secretKeyRef: airflow-webserver-secret-key  

workers:
  replicas: 2

ingress:
  web:
    enabled: true
    ingressClassName: nginx  
    hosts:
      - name: "airflow.example.com"  
  flower:
    enabled: false

logging:
  remote_logging: true
  remote_log_conn_id: "logfile"
  worker_log_server_port: 8793
  remote_log_fetch_timeout: 60  
  remote_log_fetch_retries: 5   

Deploy Airflow using Helm with this customized configuration

helm install airflow apache-airflow/airflow --namespace airflow -f airflow-values.yaml

After deployment, verify the same

Sometimes, Core DNS may not correctly resolve DNS. Restart CoreDNS to ensure it's functioning properly.

kubectl rollout restart deployment coredns -n kube-system
kubectl get pods -n kube-system -l k8s-app=kube-dns

To validate that DNS resolution is working correctly, do a nslookup within the Airflow pod

kubectl run -i --tty dnsutils --image=tutum/dnsutils --rm=true -- bash
nslookup airflow-worker.airflow.svc.cluster.local

As you can see the DNS resolution inside the cluster is working as expected. The airflow-worker.airflow.svc.cluster.local domain is correctly resolving to multiple IP addresses.

Update- In addition to above troubleshooting, kindly configure permissions correctly for the storage account and AKS.

create an aks cluster

az aks create \
    --resource-group arkorg \
    --name arkoAKSCluster \
    --node-count 2 \
    --enable-managed-identity \
    --generate-ssh-keys \
    --location eastus

Create storage A/C

az storage account create \
    --name arkoairflowstorage \
    --resource-group arkorg \
    --location eastus \
    --sku Standard_LRS

Create blob storage container for logs

az storage container create \
    --account-name arkoairflowstorage \
    --name airflowlogs

Retrieve storage account key

az storage account keys list \
    --resource-group arkorg \
    --account-name arkoairflowstorage \
    --query "[0].value" -o tsv

Here is the updated values file

executor: "CeleryExecutor"
airflowVersion: "2.9.3"

  service:
    type: LoadBalancer
  defaultUser:
    enabled: true
    username: admin

      value: "wasb://airflowlogs@arkoairflowstorage.blob.core.windows.net/logs"
    - name: AIRFLOW__LOGGING__REMOTE_LOG_CONN_ID
      value: "azure_blob_storage"

      value: "azure_blob_storage"

      value: "wasb://airflowlogs@arkoairflowstorage.blob.core.windows.net/logs"

      value: "azure_blob_storage"

logging:
  remote_logging: true
  remote_log_conn_id: "azure_blob_storage"
  worker_log_server_port: 8793
  remote_log_fetch_timeout: 60
  remote_log_fetch_retries: 5

connections:
  - id: "azure_blob_storage"
    type: "wasb"
    extra: |
      {
        "connection_string": "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=arkoairflowstorage;AccountKey=abcdefghijklmnopthisisasamplefakestringuseyourownoriginaloneyougetfromabovecommand==;EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net"
      }

Few modifications I made such as the CeleryExecutor should be specified as executor in the main values.yaml , outside the config section. Plus, I have added a web section which defines the service type, creds, and environment variables for remote logging.

Add the Airflow Helm Repository

helm repo add apache-airflow https://airflow.apache.org
helm repo update

Deploy Airflow to AKS

helm install airflow apache-airflow/airflow \
    --namespace airflow \
    --create-namespace \
    -f airflow-values.yaml

Verify Deployment

kubectl get pods -n airflow

from Airflow UI, confirm the connection under Admin > Connections and confirm Logging in Blob Storage by running a sample DAG to generate logs.
