Accessing the NATS Server Using CLI

Interact directly with your NATS server deployment in Kyma using the NATS command-line interface (CLI). Use the CLI to inspect server status, manage streams and consumers, and troubleshoot message flow.

Prerequisites

Context

Accessing certain resources in NATS requires system account privileges. Kyma automatically generates a system account user using a Secret named eventing-nats-secret in the kyma-system namespace.

Procedure

  1. Get the credentials. Run:

    kubectl get secrets -n kyma-system eventing-nats-secret -ogo-template='{{index .data "resolver.conf"|base64decode}}'| grep 'user:'| tr -d '{}'

    If you changed the default NATS instance name from eventing-nats, replace eventing-nats-secret with {your_NATS_CR_name}-secret.

    You receive the credentials for the system account user in the following format:

    user: admin, password: <your password>

  2. To access the NATS server with the NATS CLI tool, forward its port:

    kubectl port-forward -n kyma-system svc/eventing-nats 4222

  3. To send your NATS commands, pass the credentials:

    nats server info --user admin --password <your password>
