与 dns 名称的 Pod 间通信在 kubernetes 中不起作用

Question

I have installed Kubernetes(1.17.3) on one server(not VM) with flannel(v0.11.0-amd64) using kubeadm. Then i installed grafana and prometheus and can access both on NodePort http://<serverip>:31000

Now when i tries to access prometheus service from grafana its giving error Could not resolve host: prometheus-server;

I start troubleshooting and perform following steps

• verified that podsCIDR is configurered

  kubectl get nodes -o jsonpath='{.items[*].spec.podCIDR}' 10.244.0.0/24

• Curl on IPs and DNS Name of service

  # curl 10.244.0.33:9090 <a href="/prometheus/graph">Found</a>

  # curl 10.109.215.27:9090 <a href="/prometheus/graph">Found</a>

  # curl http://prometheus-server:9090 curl: (6) Could not resolve host: prometheus-server; Unknown error

• My /etc/resolv.conf was empty and i added below entry but still no success

  search cluster.local nameserver <IP of Server>

• Following is output of CoreDNS logs

  kubectl logs -f coredns-6955765f44-cnhtz -n kube-system.:53 [INFO] plugin/reload: Running configuration MD5 = 4e235fcc3696966e76816bcd9034ebc7 CoreDNS-1.6.5 linux/amd64, go1.13.4, c2fd1b2 [ERROR] plugin/errors: 2 2339874627451903403.2757028323724952357.

Update1:

In response to @KoopaKiller I run curl http://prometheus-server:9090 ? from host and from grafana pod (from grafana pods infact its not responding to IPs). I installed prometheus and grafana with manifest and both are in same namespace.

kubectl get pods -A
NAMESPACE              NAME                                             READY   STATUS

One more thing which i observed in events of coredns is about missing file "/run/flannel/subnet.env" but file is available it look like it get recreate on every reboot and CoreDNS find it very late.

Events:

Update2: I followed link to debug DNS and it shows result for

kubectl exec -ti dnsutils -- nslookup kubernetes.default
kubectl exec dnsutils cat /etc/resolv.conf

Then i added the log plugin to the CoreDNS configuration and realize no DNS queries being received by CoreDNS, i disabled my firewalld and everything start working as expectation, But why its not working with firewalld my open ports are following, it has ports for flannel too

firewall-cmd --list-ports
6443/tcp 2379-2380/tcp 10250/tcp 10251/tcp 10252/tcp 30000-32767/tcp 8080/tcp 8443/tcp 8285/udp 8472/udp 502/tcp

Answer 1

To make it work without disabling firewalld i have to add below rule and everything start working with dnsnames

firewall-cmd --add-masquerade --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload
systemctl restart firewalld

I got hint from below link, but will look into more details why we need it?

How can I use Flannel without disabing firewalld (Kubernetes)
