I have deployed a Spring Boot application onto a Google Kubernetes Engine workload. First, I pushed an image to Artifact Registry. Then, I ran the image using the docker run command in the gcloud command line. My GET request worked perfectly fine then, but once I deployed the image to a Kubernetes workload, the same GET request to the LoadBalancer returned a 500 Internal Server HTTP error.

Everytime I try going on Google's Error Reporting, it tells me to setup Error Reporting, but I don't really understand how to, and besides I thought HTTP errors automatically went to Error Reporting.

I'm sorry if there's too many extra details, I mainly want to know how to see the cause of an HTTP 500 error on a GKE deployment?

The best way to diagnose and debug an HTTP 500 error is by looking at the application logs. If you are using Kubernetes, you can use the command kubectl logs to view the logs of your application. You can also use the Stackdriver Logging service for more detailed logging and debugging. Stackdriver Logging provides a wide range of features such as log search, visualization, alerting, and dashboards. By using Stackdriver Logging, you can quickly identify the cause of the HTTP 500 error. Additionally, if you have enabled Error Reporting on your GKE deployment, you should be able to view errors and exceptions in the Error Reporting dashboard.
