Dashboards green, services listed as onboarded, no data arriving

How to confirm it

• Injected, or just annotated?

  kubectl get pods -A -o json | jq -r '.items[] | "\(.metadata.namespace)/\(.metadata.name) containers=\(.spec.containers|length)"' | grep 'containers=1'

  An annotation without an extra container means the operator never acted. The manifest looks right and nothing was injected.

• Is data actually arriving?

  # entity exists != entity reporting — check last-seen, not presence
  curl -s -H "Api-Key: $NR_KEY" 'https://api.newrelic.com/graphql' -d '{"query":"{actor{entitySearch(query:\"reporting=false\"){results{entities{name}}}}}"}'

  Stale entities keep appearing in dashboards long after they stop reporting. Filter on reporting=false to find them.

• What did the CRD migration drop?

  kubectl get deploy -A -o json | jq -r '.items[] | select(.spec.template.metadata.annotations != null and .spec.template.metadata.labels["app-language"] == null) | .metadata.name'

  Annotation present, label missing — the exact signature of the regression.
