Example Counting Service Demo faulty

[magr90900]

Hello all, I am new to Consul and have installed minikube from the Consul Service Discovery and Mesh on Minikube | Consul - HashiCorp Learn and after that installed counting and dashboard definitions for testing.

Initially it worked good but when I have applied intention to deny traffic from counting to dashboard it denied the traffic but when I delete the same intention from consul UI, the rule got deleted but still service was unreachable. This is odd I have also checked kubectl get ServiceIntentions and there are no rules.

Hi @magr90900, this sounds like Envoy might have been re-using an existing connection to the upstream which was still subject to the deny policy (see Intentions: Enforcement).

How long did this problem persist? Did the connection eventually start working after some time?
