Error: mismatched message type

1

Hello,

I’m having trouble debugging the envoy inside the pod.
Following the documentation (https://istio.io/v1.7/docs/ops/diagnostic-tools/proxy-cmd/)
when trying to run the commands

istioctl proxy-config listener [<pod-name [.namespace]>]

istioctl proxy-config cluster [<pod-name [.namespace]>]

I’m receiving the following message:

Error: mismatched message type: got “envoy.config.listener.v3.Listener” want “envoy.api.v2.Listener”
Error: mismatched message type: got “envoy.config.cluster.v3.Cluster” want “envoy.api.v2.Cluster”

Someone could tell me the reason for the error message.
I am using istio version 1.7.3.

what istioctl version are you using? i think you might need to use the coresponding istioctl version that you have running

@nick_tetrate, how are you?
I hope you’re well.
How can we do to update only the istioctl client version that is in 1.6.5?
Since Telemtry, Pilot and Data Plane are at version 1.7.3.
Thanks.
