Error listing endpoints: %v

Error message

Error listing endpoints: %v

What it means

handleListDiscoveryEndpoints lists DiscoveryEndpoints from the store for the universe (then filters by namespace if present). A store-level failure is surfaced as 500 'Error listing endpoints: <err>'. Client-side routing/certs are fine; the failure is in the persistence layer.

Solutions

1. Read the server log / response body for the underlying store error.
2. Verify the store backend is healthy and reachable.
3. Confirm the universe ID in the path exists in the store.
4. Retry after fixing backend; check store credentials/permissions.

resp, err := client.Get(listURL)
if err == nil && resp.StatusCode == http.StatusInternalServerError {
    time.Sleep(backoff)
    return retry()
}

When it happens

Trigger: GET /{universe}/apis/discovery.kops.k8s.io/v1alpha1/discoveryendpoints (with or without /namespaces/{namespace}) where Store.ListDiscoveryEndpoints errors: backend down, invalid universe record, permissions, or data error.

Common situations: Store database outage; wrong/unknown universe in URL; expired DB credentials; kubectl-style discovery requests during backend maintenance.
