Konflux Archived PipelineRuns

Konflux Archived PipelineRun Access

This skill provides the workflow for accessing Konflux PipelineRuns that have been archived by the kube archiver. PipelineRuns are archived quickly after completion and are typically NOT available via oc get. Use the KubeArchive REST API to retrieve PipelineRun details, TaskRun results, and pod logs.

When to Use This Skill

This skill automatically applies when:

• Checking results of any completed Konflux PipelineRun
• Investigating Konflux enterprise contract check failures
• Retrieving logs from finished Konflux CI builds or tests
• Analyzing trusted task violations in CI
• Looking at Konflux check results on GitHub PRs
• A PipelineRun is not found via oc get in the Konflux namespace

Architecture

Konflux CI on HyperShift

• Namespace: crt-redhat-acm-tenant
• Cluster: api.stone-prd-rh01.pg1f.p1.openshiftapps.com:6443
• PipelineRuns are archived quickly by kube archiver and are typically NOT available via oc get

KubeArchive

Archived PipelineRuns, TaskRuns, pods, and pod logs are accessible through the KubeArchive REST API:

KA_HOST="https://kubearchive-api-server-product-kubearchive.apps.stone-prd-rh01.pg1f.p1.openshiftapps.com"

Authentication uses the oc token:

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $(oc whoami -t)" "${KA_HOST}/livez"

Accessing Archived Resources

Fetch an Archived PipelineRun

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $(oc whoami -t)" \
  "${KA_HOST}/apis/tekton.dev/v1/namespaces/crt-redhat-acm-tenant/pipelineruns/<PIPELINERUN_NAME>"

Child TaskRun references are in status.childReferences:

data['status']['childReferences']  # list of {name, kind, apiVersion, pipelineTaskName}

Fetch an Archived TaskRun

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $(oc whoami -t)" \
  "${KA_HOST}/apis/tekton.dev/v1/namespaces/crt-redhat-acm-tenant/taskruns/<TASKRUN_NAME>"

TaskRun results are in status.results.

Find Pods for a TaskRun

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $(oc whoami -t)" \
  "${KA_HOST}/api/v1/namespaces/crt-redhat-acm-tenant/pods?labelSelector=tekton.dev/taskRun=<TASKRUN_NAME>"

Fetch Pod Logs

List available containers first from the pod spec (spec.initContainers and spec.containers), then fetch logs:

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $(oc whoami -t)" \
  "${KA_HOST}/api/v1/namespaces/crt-redhat-acm-tenant/pods/<POD_NAME>/log?container=<CONTAINER_NAME>"

Enterprise Contract Violations

Identifying Failing EC Checks from GitHub

HEAD_SHA=$(gh pr view <PR> --repo openshift/hypershift --json headRefOid -q .headRefOid)

# Find failing EC check runs
gh api repos/openshift/hypershift/commits/${HEAD_SHA}/check-runs --paginate \
  --jq '.check_runs[] | select(.name | test("enterprise-contract")) | select(.conclusion == "failure") | {name: .name, id: .id}'

# Get PipelineRun names from check output
gh api repos/openshift/hypershift/commits/${HEAD_SHA}/check-runs --paginate \
  --jq '.check_runs[] | select(.name | test("enterprise-contract")) | select(.conclusion == "failure") | .output.text'

The PipelineRun name appears in an <a href="..."> tag in the output text.

EC Verify Task Pod Containers

The EC verify task pod has these containers with useful output:

• step-report-json - Structured JSON with all violations (preferred)
• step-summary - Human-readable summary
• step-detailed-report - Detailed report

EC JSON Report Structure

{
  "success": false,
  "components": [{
    "name": "component-name",
    "containerImage": "quay.io/...",
    "violations": [{
      "msg": "Human-readable message",
      "metadata": {
        "code": "rule.code.name",
        "title": "Rule title",
        "description": "Rule description",
        "solution": "How to fix"
      }
    }]
  }]
}

Group violations by metadata.code and present a summary with counts, rule names, and individual messages.

Common EC Violation Types

tasks.required_untrusted_task_found

A required task is present but not resolved from a trusted version. Fix by updating the task reference in .tekton/ pipeline files.

trusted_task.trusted

A task version is not in the trusted task list. The violation message includes the required SHA to upgrade to. Fix by updating task digests in .tekton/ pipeline files.

Error Handling

• oc whoami -t fails: User must log in to the Konflux cluster with oc login
• KubeArchive /livez fails: Check that oc is logged in to the correct cluster (api.stone-prd-rh01.pg1f.p1.openshiftapps.com:6443)
• KubeArchive returns 404 for a resource: May not be archived yet; try oc get directly in namespace crt-redhat-acm-tenant
• Pod logs return "no logs found": Logs may have been purged; fall back to TaskRun results for the summary
• No failing EC checks found: Report that all EC checks passed
