<p>I have created a <code>Certifate</code> and a <code>ClusterIssuer</code>.</p>

<p>I see the following in the cert-manager pod :</p>

</code></pre>

<p>There is no 'certificate' being generated - I assume this because the secret referenced in my <code>Certficate</code> resource is not generated.</p>

<p>How can I diagnose this further?</p>

Chris Stryczynski
<p><code>kubectl get certificates</code> and then one can do a describe on the certificate for extra information</p>
