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 ​

  • You have installed kubectl and NATS CLI.

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:

    bash
    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:

    bash
    user: admin, password: <your password>

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

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

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

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