Istioctl for the pod is not showing the timeout setting on the virtual service configuration

Config
1

We have istio 1.2.2 and we have virtual service with the timeout setting. “kubectl get vs testvs” show the timeout setting as 300s.

spec:
gateways:

  • ns1-gateway
    hosts:
  • ‘*’
    http:
  • match:
    • uri:
      prefix: /testvs
      retries:
      attempts: 3
      perTryTimeout: 10s
      route:
    • destination:
      host: testvs.ns1.svc.cluster.local
      port:
      number: 8080
      timeout: 300s

but istioctl proxy-config route testvs-68bf8d98f6-sf29j -o json showing default timeout which is 0s.

“route”: {
“cluster”: “outbound|80||testsvc.ns1.svc.cluster.local”,
“timeout”: “0s”,
“retryPolicy”: {
“retryOn”: “connect-failure,refused-stream,unavailable,cancelled,resource-exhausted,retriable-status-codes”,
“numRetries”: 2,
“retryHostPredicate”: [
{
“name”: “envoy.retry_host_predicates.previous_hosts”
}
],
“hostSelectionRetryMaxAttempts”: “5”,
“retriableStatusCodes”: [
503
]
},
“maxGrpcTimeout”: “0s”
}

I think the issue is if we have

gateways:

  • ns1-gateway
    hosts:
  • ‘*’

in spec it is not applying. Can anyone confirm if this is the behavior by design?
