## Troubleshooting

### Collecting Logs

#### Using `istioctl`/helm

- Set: `values.global.logging.level="cni:debug,ambient:debug"`

use the equivalent component in `istio-system`, configured with the official installer, or use a different
version or implementation.

For example, you may use your own Prometheus and Grafana installs, or you may use a specialized/custom
certificate provisioning tool, or use components that are centrally managed and running in a different cluster.
