Description of problem: openshift-console pod logs are actively flooded with 'websocket: bad handshake.*403 Forbidden' errors. Sample log: 2021-03-31T08:30:01.118826164Z 2021-03-31T08:30:01Z Failed to dial backend: 'websocket: bad handshake' Status: '403 Forbidden' URL: 'https://kubernetes.default.svc/apis/config.openshift.io/v1/clusterversions?watch=true&fieldSelector=metadata.name%3Dversion' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.6.22 How reproducible: not manually reproducible Actual results: openshift-console logs flooded with 100.000+ noisy `websocket: bad handshake` errors, in only 4 weeks. Expected results: reduced log noise while relying on `consoles.spec.logLevel: Normal` verbosity. Additional info: - No impact on Console access, but log noise leads to losing valuable information.
This is a side effect of bug 1848151 where we were polling the ClusterVersion when the user didn't have authority. It creates a lot of noise in the logs and something we've fixed, but otherwise it should cause no problems. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1848151 ***
