title: istio-1.7.2 installation, missing dashboards and pods?
body: <p>I have installed istio using the official reference as on <a href="https://istio.io/latest/docs/setup/getting-started/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Getting Started</a> page.<br />
  Below are the commands i used:<br />
  <code>$ curl -L https://istio.io/downloadIstio | sh -</code></p>
  <p><code>$ istioctl install --set profile=demo</code></p>
  <p><code>$ kubectl label namespace default istio-injection=enabled</code></p>
  <p>I ended up with below version of istio:</p>
  <pre><code>$ istioctl version
  client version: 1.7.2
  control plane version: 1.7.2
  data plane version: 1.7.2 (2 proxies)
  </code></pre>
  <p>and my kubernetes version is:</p>
  <pre><code>$ kubectl version --short
  Client Version: v1.18.8
  Server Version: v1.18.8
  </code></pre>
  <p>Every thing seems fine until i verify the objects installed in <code>istio-system</code> namespace</p>
  <pre><code>$ kubectl -n istio-system get all

  <p>As, you can see there are few missing components -
  There are few <strong>pods missing istio-citadel, istio-pilot, istio-policy, istio-sidecar, istio-telemetry, istio-tracing etc.</strong> These components were <strong>available in 1.4.2.</strong><br />
  In 1.4.2 installation I could see <strong>grafana, jaeger, kiali, prometheus, zipkin dashboards.</strong> But these are now <strong>missing</strong>. Example:</p>
  <pre><code>istioctl dashboard zipkin
  Error: no Zipkin pods found
  </code></pre>
  <p>Is this expected behaviour in 1.7.2 or is my installation broken. If the installation is broken, how else can i fix it. After all I followed the instruction from the Starter Guide.</p>
