  • Patch workloads to grant write access in live clusters
  • Sync binaries and configuration files to running pods
  • Restart services through supervisorctl to validate fixes quickly
  • Restore state via ArgoCD after debugging workflows

Quick Start

Enter neb-debug-quick mode to patch workloads, enable write access, sync binaries to pods, and restart services without rebuilding container images.

FAQPage Schema
How do I debug a live Kubernetes service without rebuilding the container image?▼

Debug live Kubernetes services without rebuilding images by patching workloads for write access, syncing local binaries to running pods, and restarting services via supervisorctl. ArgoCD restores the original state after debugging completes.

Can I sync local binaries and restart services in a running pod using supervisorctl?▼

Yes, you can sync local binaries to running pods and restart services using supervisorctl. The workload is first patched to grant write access, enabling rapid validation of fixes without needing a new container image build.

What is the best way to patch a running Kubernetes workload for live debugging?▼

The best way to patch a running workload for live debugging is to grant write access to the live cluster, sync local files or binaries, and restart the target service via supervisorctl to validate changes quickly before restoring state.

Does live debugging with workload patching work with GitOps and ArgoCD deployments?▼

Yes, live debugging with workload patching works with GitOps deployments. After patching workloads and validating fixes via supervisorctl, ArgoCD is used to restore the cluster state to its original configuration.

Do I need supervisord to patch workloads and debug services in Kubernetes?▼

Yes, supervisord is required. The live debugging workflow relies on supervisorctl to restart services within the container after syncing binaries, enabling rapid iteration without rebuilding the container image.
