## Debugging DNS resolution
### Create a simple Pod to use as a test environment
Create a file named busybox.yaml with the following contents:
{% include code.html language="yaml" file="busybox.yaml" ghlink="/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/busybox.yaml" %}
Then create a pod using this file and verify its status:
```shell
$ kubectl create -f busybox.yaml
pod "busybox" created
$ kubectl get pods busybox
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
busybox 1/1 Running 0 <some-time>
```
Once that pod is running, you can exec `nslookup` in that environment.
If you see something like the following, DNS is working correctly.
```shell
$ kubectl exec -ti busybox -- nslookup kubernetes.default
Server: 10.0.0.10
Address 1: 10.0.0.10
Name: kubernetes.default
Address 1: 10.0.0.1
```
If the `nslookup` command fails, check the following:
### Check the local DNS configuration first
Take a look inside the resolv.conf file.
(See [Inheriting DNS from the node](#inheriting-dns-from-the-node) and
[Known issues](#known-issues) below for more information)
```shell
$ kubectl exec busybox cat /etc/resolv.conf
```
Verify that the search path and name server are set up like the following
(note that search path may vary for different cloud providers):
```
search default.svc.cluster.local svc.cluster.local cluster.local google.internal c.gce_project_id.internal
nameserver 10.0.0.10
options ndots:5
```
Errors such as the following indicate a problem with the kube-dns add-on or
associated Services:
```
$ kubectl exec -ti busybox -- nslookup kubernetes.default
Server: 10.0.0.10
Address 1: 10.0.0.10
nslookup: can't resolve 'kubernetes.default'
```
or
```
$ kubectl exec -ti busybox -- nslookup kubernetes.default
Server: 10.0.0.10
Address 1: 10.0.0.10 kube-dns.kube-system.svc.cluster.local
nslookup: can't resolve 'kubernetes.default'
```
### Check if the DNS pod is running
Use the `kubectl get pods` command to verify that the DNS pod is running.
```shell
$ kubectl get pods --namespace=kube-system -l k8s-app=kube-dns
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
...
kube-dns-v19-ezo1y 3/3 Running 0 1h
...
```
If you see that no pod is running or that the pod has failed/completed, the DNS
add-on may not be deployed by default in your current environment and you will
have to deploy it manually.
### Check for Errors in the DNS pod
Use `kubectl logs` command to see logs for the DNS daemons.
```shell
$ kubectl logs --namespace=kube-system $(kubectl get pods --namespace=kube-system -l k8s-app=kube-dns -o name) -c kubedns
$ kubectl logs --namespace=kube-system $(kubectl get pods --namespace=kube-system -l k8s-app=kube-dns -o name) -c dnsmasq
$ kubectl logs --namespace=kube-system $(kubectl get pods --namespace=kube-system -l k8s-app=kube-dns -o name) -c sidecar
```
See if there is any suspicious log. Letter '`W`', '`E`', '`F`' at the beginning
represent Warning, Error and Failure. Please search for entries that have these
as the logging level and use
[kubernetes issues](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues)
to report unexpected errors.
### Is DNS service up?
Verify that the DNS service is up by using the `kubectl get service` command.
```shell
$ kubectl get svc --namespace=kube-system
NAME CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
...
kube-dns 10.0.0.10 <none> 53/UDP,53/TCP 1h
...
```
If you have created the service or in the case it should be created by default
but it does not appear, see
[debugging services](/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/debug-service/) for
more information.
### Are DNS endpoints exposed?
You can verify that DNS endpoints are exposed by using the `kubectl get endpoints`
command.
```shell
$ kubectl get ep kube-dns --namespace=kube-system
NAME ENDPOINTS AGE
kube-dns 10.180.3.17:53,10.180.3.17:53 1h
```
If you do not see the endpoints, see endpoints section in the
[debugging services](/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/debug-service/) documentation.
For additional Kubernetes DNS examples, see the
[cluster-dns examples](https://github.com/kubernetes/examples/tree/master/staging/cluster-dns)
in the Kubernetes GitHub repository.
## Known issues
Kubernetes installs do not configure the nodes' resolv.conf files to use the
cluster DNS by default, because that process is inherently distro-specific.
This should probably be implemented eventually.
Linux's libc is impossibly stuck ([see this bug from
2005](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=168253)) with limits of just
3 DNS `nameserver` records and 6 DNS `search` records. Kubernetes needs to
consume 1 `nameserver` record and 3 `search` records. This means that if a
local installation already uses 3 `nameserver`s or uses more than 3 `search`es,
some of those settings will be lost. As a partial workaround, the node can run
`dnsmasq` which will provide more `nameserver` entries, but not more `search`
entries. You can also use kubelet's `--resolv-conf` flag.
If you are using Alpine version 3.3 or earlier as your base image, DNS may not
work properly owing to a known issue with Alpine.
Check [here](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/30215)
for more information.
## Kubernetes Federation (Multiple Zone support)
Release 1.3 introduced Cluster Federation support for multi-site Kubernetes
installations. This required some minor (backward-compatible) changes to the
way the Kubernetes cluster DNS server processes DNS queries, to facilitate
the lookup of federated services (which span multiple Kubernetes clusters).
See the [Cluster Federation Administrators' Guide](/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/federation/)
for more details on Cluster Federation and multi-site support.
