Explanation
The new Ginkgo test in
tests-extension/test/qe/dns-operator.gois explicitly named with[Skipped:MicroShift]. MicroShift CI will skip it, so references to test resources or APIs do not trigger this check.
Full details: Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility
-
Explanation
The added serial Ginkgo test does not make a multi-node or HA assumption. It forces one DNS pod, creates one in-cluster upstream pod and endpoint-less services, and uses no node counts, node separation, affinity, topology spread, failover, rescheduling, scaling, or multi-endpoint load-balancing checks. The existing ForceOnlyOneDnsPodExist helper explicitly handles a cluster with one DNS pod as SNO-compatible. No SNO skip is required for this test.
Full details: Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility
-
Explanation
The pull request adds Prometheus alerts and QE test resources. It does not modify a deployment, controller, or production workload scheduling configuration. The test-created Pod has no node selector, affinity, topology spread constraint, replica strategy, toleration, or PDB. No topology-dependent scheduling constraint was introduced.
Full details: Ote Binary Stdout Contract
-
Explanation
No OTE stdout-contract violation was introduced. The diff adds only test helpers and an
Itbody; all newe2e.Logfcalls and command-output handling execute from that test path. The changed files add nomain,init, suite setup,fmt.Print*,klog,os.Stdout, or Ginkgo suite-configuration writes. The existingcmd/main.goand its logging setup are unchanged.
Full details: No-Weak-Crypto
-
Explanation
The authoritative PR diff adds Prometheus alert rules and DNS operator test helpers. A scan of all 425 added lines found no MD5, SHA1, DES, RC4, 3DES, Blowfish, ECB mode, crypto package use, custom cryptography, or secret/token comparisons.
Full details: No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs
-
Explanation
No sensitive-data logging was introduced. New test logs contain fixed test resource status, fixed-zone DNS errors, alert names, and synthetic Prometheus labels for the test upstreams. The Prometheus helper already suppresses command display and redacts bearer tokens. The alert annotations report DNS monitoring scope only.

Full details: Stable And Deterministic Test Names
-
Explanation
The PR adds a Ginkgo test title with legacy metadata:
Author:davidsalerno-High-122810-.... This contains anAuthor:token, the dash-delimitedHighimportance token, and the numeric Polarion-style ID122810. The title is introduced attests-extension/test/qe/dns-operator.go:211; the added helper file has no test declarations. These tokens violate the required stable test-name convention.Resolution
Rename the test to a static descriptive title, for example
CoreDNS forward health check alerts fire correctly [Disruptive] [Serial] [Skipped:MicroShift]. Remove theAuthor:,High, and122810metadata. Contact#forum-ocp-release-oversighton Slack if help is needed during porting.
Full details: Container-Privileges
-
Explanation
The added Pod manifest in
tests-extension/test/qe/forward-health-check.gosetsrunAsNonRoot: falseand does not set a non-root UID. This permits the CoreDNS test container to run as root without a justification. The other checked settings are restrictive:allowPrivilegeEscalation: falseand all capabilities are dropped.Resolution
Set
runAsNonRoot: trueand use a CoreDNS image or explicit non-root UID that supports this test. If root is required, set it explicitly and add a clear security justification in the manifest and test documentation.
Full details: Docstring Coverage
-
Explanation
Docstring coverage is 12.90% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 31 functions across 4 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)
Resolution
Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.
Full details: Test Structure And Quality
-
Explanation
The standing failure remains unresolved. The new test code still contains bare assertions without diagnostic messages:
o.Expect(image).NotTo(o.BeEmpty())(forward-health-check.go:42),o.Expect(err).NotTo(o.HaveOccurred())for manifest apply (:211), service ClusterIP (:225), JSON patch marshaling (:256), Prometheus query errors (:336,:346), and monitor creation (dns-operator.go:227). The changed test does use finite polling timeouts and deferred cleanup, so those prior concerns are addressed, but the assertion-message requirement still fails.Resolution
Add a meaningful failure message to every newly added assertion. Identify the failed operation in the image lookup, manifest application, service ClusterIP lookup, JSON patch marshaling, Prometheus query assertions, and Prometheus monitor creation. Keep the existing finite timeouts and cleanup.

Do not treat one forwarder's outage as a namespace-wide outage.
CoreDNS increments this counter when all upstreams of a forwarder are unhealthy. sum by(namespace) also combines events from different CoreDNS instances. If one instance loses all its upstreams while another remains healthy, this rule reports a namespace-wide outage. Lines 43–44 then suppress upstream failure alerts across the namespace. Keep the outage and suppression scopes aligned, or change the alert to describe the narrower condition. (coredns.io)

Do not use a query-driven counter as the sole outage condition.
CoreDNS increments coredns_forward_healthcheck_broken_total while processing a query after all upstreams become unhealthy. If health checks continue to fail but queries stop, its five-minute rate falls to zero and this alert resolves despite the continuing outage. Use an outage condition that remains active without incoming queries, or narrow the alert's stated meaning to query-time detection. (coredns.io)

Suppress upstream alerts only when the replacement alert is firing.
The right-hand expression becomes positive as soon as the broken counter increases. CoreDNSForwardHealthCheckBroken remains pending for five minutes. If an upstream failure alert is already firing when the last healthy upstream fails, unless removes that alert immediately and leaves neither alert firing during the new five-minute wait. Align suppression with the broken alert's firing state. (prometheus.io)

Stop reading the deprecated v1 Endpoints resource in ensureServiceHasNoEndpoints.
getByJsonPathusesCLI.Output(), which returns stdout and stderr in one string. It also ignores the command error.- On Kubernetes 1.33 and later,
oc get endpoints/<svc>printsWarning: v1 Endpoints is deprecated in v1.33+; use discovery.k8s.io/v1 EndpointSliceto stderr. tests-extension/go.modtargets Kubernetes 1.36, so this warning appears.- The warning makes
endpointsnon-empty, soo.BeEmpty()fails. The test then fails in step 1, before it checks any alert. - If the command itself errors, the error text also makes the output non-empty. This hides the real cause.
Fix: query the EndpointSlices by the kubernetes.io/service-name label and check the command error.
🐛 Proposed fix
func ensureServiceHasNoEndpoints(oc *exutil.CLI, serviceName string) {
- endpoints := getByJsonPath(oc, dnsNamespace, "endpoints/"+serviceName, "{.subsets}")
- o.Expect(endpoints).To(o.BeEmpty(), "service %s must have no endpoints", serviceName)
+ stdout, _, err := oc.AsAdmin().WithoutNamespace().Run("get").Args(
+ "-n", dnsNamespace, "endpointslices.discovery.k8s.io",

+ o.Expect(err).NotTo(o.HaveOccurred())
+ o.Expect(strings.TrimSpace(stdout)).To(o.BeEmpty(), "service %s must have no endpoints", serviceName)
}This follows the path instruction: "Never ignore error returns".

Add two warning-level Prometheus rules to the dns-operator manifest: - CoreDNSForwardHealthCheckBroken: fires when all forward upstreams in a namespace are failing health checks (rate(coredns_forward_healthcheck_broken_total[5m]) > 0). - CoreDNSForwardHealthCheckFailure: fires per upstream when a specific forward upstream fails health checks, suppressed via `unless on(namespace)` while the complete-outage alert is firing. Add an e2e test covering both alerts. The test forces a single DNS pod, deploys an in-cluster CoreDNS upstream plus two endpoint-less ClusterIP services (so no phase depends on public DNS reachability), and patches the DNS operator forward config for a test zone. It verifies that: 1. With one healthy and one unreachable upstream, only the per-upstream CoreDNSForwardHealthCheckFailure alert fires. 2. With all upstreams unreachable, CoreDNSForwardHealthCheckBroken fires and the per-upstream alerts are suppressed. All test resources stay in-cluster and are cleaned up via deferred helpers, including restoration of the DNS operator resource. Signed-off-by: Davide Salerno <dsalerno@redhat.com>

Preserve the upstream alert’s firing state during a complete outage.
When CoreDNSForwardHealthCheckBroken fires, unless removes the matching upstream series from the failure alert expression. Prometheus then clears that alert’s firing state. If traffic stops and the broken alert clears while health checks still fail, the upstream alert must wait another five minutes before firing. Neither alert fires during that interval, contrary to the description on Line 39. Keep the upstream alert active and suppress its notifications through alert inhibition instead. (prometheus.io)

Disable API-token automount for the test Pod.
The dns ServiceAccount does not disable automount. The Pod only runs CoreDNS and does not use the Kubernetes API, so set automountServiceAccountToken: false.

Update the test Pod spec near serviceAccountName to set
automountServiceAccountToken to false, without changing the ServiceAccount or
other Pod settings.

Do not treat every dig command error as an expected DNS failure.
The existing CoreDNS e2e test runs the same dig command in the dns container. Keep that supported path, but distinguish an unavailable command or failed oc exec from a DNS response error. Otherwise the query never reaches CoreDNS, the query-driven counters do not advance, and the alert wait can time out without exposing the setup failure.

266 - 269:
Update the `dig` invocation’s error handling so an unavailable command or failed
`oc exec` is reported as a test setup failure, not an expected forwarding error.
Preserve the supported `dns` container path and treat only errors from a query
that actually reaches CoreDNS as DNS response failures, so query-driven counters
can advance.

Add two warning-level Prometheus rules to the dns-operator manifest:
unless on(namespace)while the complete-outage alert is firing.Add an e2e test covering both alerts. The test forces a single DNS pod, deploys an in-cluster CoreDNS upstream plus two endpoint-less ClusterIP services (so no phase depends on public DNS reachability), and patches the DNS operator forward config for a test zone. It verifies that:
All test resources stay in-cluster and are cleaned up via deferred helpers, including restoration of the DNS operator resource.
