Fix: Add the following to your Helm values before upgrading or redeploying:
global:
dataplaneGroups:
defaultDataplaneGroupName: "AUTO"
Or, if you're on v2, use "default" instead of "AUTO". You can also directly update the dataplane_group_id in the public.workspace table to match an enabled entry in public.dataplane_group. [GitHub issue] 2. Verify Pods Are Running Run the following to check pod status:
kubectl get pods -n airbyte
kubectl -n airbyte get events --sort-by='{.lastTimestamp}'
Look for pods stuck in Pending or Init states, which may indicate resource or volume provisioning issues. [EKS deploy issue] 3. Check Logs from the Right Containers For sync pods, the orchestrator container is the one that aggregates human-readable logs â the source and destination containers use stdout for Airbyte protocol messages and won't have useful logs there. [log collection docs]
# Find workload pods
kubectl get pods -l airbyte=job-pod --all-namespaces
# Check orchestrator logs
kubectl logs <pod-name> -c orchestrator -n <namespace>
For check/discover/spec pods, check the sidecar container instead. [log collection docs] 4. Set Up a Log Collector If you're not seeing logs in your observability stack, you may need to deploy a DaemonSet-based log collector (e.g., Fluent Bit, Vector, or Datadog Agent) to collect stdout from your pods. Note that Airbyte data plane Helm chart v2.1.0+ is required for structured JSON logging. [log collection docs]
> Important for Fluent Bit users: Set Buffer_Size 256k on the Kubernetes filter, as the default 32KB is too small for Airbyte workload pod metadata, causing label enrichment to silently fail. [log collection docs] 5. Check MinIO Storage Space If you see log file paths referenced (e.g., /tmp/workspace/.../logs.log) but the message says "No logs available," you may need to increase the storage space allocated to MinIO (/storage path).
