Let's say your Kong admin application has been deployed to OpenShift. The oc get pods command can be used to display the kong pods.

oc get pods -n kong

Something like this should be returned.

The oc get pods with the -o yaml option can be used to display the configuration of the Kong admin pod.

oc get pod kong-admin-1.3.0.2-5d7c89d4bb-4gg4g -o yaml -n kong

The YAML should include the hostname and HTTPS port of the Admin API.

  containers:
  - env:
    - name: KONG_ADMIN_LISTEN
      value: 0.0.0.0:8444 ssl
    - name: KONG_ADMIN_API_URI
      value: https://kongadminapi.example.com

The curl command can then be used to connect to Kong.

curl --header "Kong-Admin-Token: abc123" https://kongadminapi.example.com:8444/status
