title: Azure Kubernetes - Istio accessing grafana, prometheus, jaeger, kiali & envoy externally?
body: <p>I have used the following configuration to setup the Istio</p>
  <pre><code>cat &lt;&lt; EOF | kubectl apply -f -

  <p>I want to access the services like grafana, prometheus, jaeger, kiali &amp; envoy externally - eg: <a href="https://grafana.mycompany.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://grafana.mycompany.com</a>, how can I do it?</p>
  <p><strong>Update:</strong>
  I have tried below however it doesn't work</p>
  <pre><code>kubectl expose service prometheus --type=LoadBalancer --name=prometheus --namespace istio-system
  kubectl get svc prometheus-svc -n istio-system -o json
  export PROMETHEUS_URL=$(kubectl get svc istio-ingressgateway -n istio-system  -o jsonpath=&quot;{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0]['hostname','ip']}&quot;):$(kubectl get svc prometheus-svc -n istio-system -o 'jsonpath={.spec.ports[0].nodePort}')
  echo http://${PROMETHEUS_URL}
  curl http://${PROMETHEUS_URL}
  </code></pre>
