Use numeric port 8443 for metrics ingress.

The selected Deployment matches name: cluster-logging-operator, but its container declares no ports entry. The metrics patch adds --metrics-bind-address=:8443 only. It does not declare https-metrics. A named NetworkPolicy port therefore does not match this Pod.

Update the metrics ingress port in the NetworkPolicy to use numeric port 8443
instead of the undeclared https-metrics name, matching the port configured by
--metrics-bind-address.

Retain TCP DNS when this policy is applied.

The documented opt-in path still allows users to apply this YAML manually. If no overlapping policy permits TCP/53, matching operator pods can send DNS only over UDP. DNS clients may retry truncated UDP responses over TCP, and those retries will be blocked.

Update the network policy’s egress rules to allow TCP DNS on port 53 alongside
the existing DNS rule, so operator pods can complete TCP retries for truncated
UDP responses.

The Cluster Logging Operator automatically creates and manages `NetworkPolicy` resources for its logging components to ensure they function in restrictive network environments, even if a cluster-wide `AdminNetworkPolicy` would otherwise block their traffic.

The operator's own manager pod is also protected by a permissive `NetworkPolicy` (`clo-permissive-network-policy`) that is deployed automatically by OLM as part of the operator bundle. This policy preserves the operator's metrics, DNS, and Kubernetes API server connectivity only for traffic that a matching `AdminNetworkPolicy` rule allows or delegates with `Pass`; an `AdminNetworkPolicy` `Deny` takes precedence and cannot be overridden by this `NetworkPolicy`. See <<Cluster Logging Operator NetworkPolicy>> for details.
In addition, you can use the `NetworkPolicy` defined in `config/network-policy/clo-permissive-network-policy.yaml` to configure the Cluster Logging Operator's network policy for restricted networks.

The `NetworkPolicy` resources are automatically created, updated, and removed along with the component deployment lifecycle.

== Cluster Logging Operator NetworkPolicy

The operator manager pod is protected by the `clo-permissive-network-policy` `NetworkPolicy`. This policy is included in the operator bundle and is created, updated, and removed by OLM together with the operator; no manual step is required. It is applied in the namespace where the operator is installed (for example, `openshift-logging`).

The policy is intentionally permissive so the operator keeps working when a restrictive `AdminNetworkPolicy` is applied to the cluster:

* **Ingress** is allowed on the metrics port so the operator can continue to be scraped for metrics.
* **Egress** is allowed to the cluster DNS (for name resolution) and to the Kubernetes API server (so the operator can reconcile resources and remain discoverable by OLM).

IMPORTANT: A `NetworkPolicy` sits below `AdminNetworkPolicy` in the precedence hierarchy (see <<Understanding the Hierarchy>>). This policy therefore only takes effect for traffic that a matching `AdminNetworkPolicy` rule allows or delegates with a `Pass` action. Traffic that an `AdminNetworkPolicy` explicitly denies cannot be re-allowed by this `NetworkPolicy`; in that case you must adjust the `AdminNetworkPolicy` to `Pass` or allow the relevant operator traffic (see <<AdminNetworkPolicy Delegation>>).

NOTE: When a cluster-wide proxy is enabled, the operator's egress traffic is directed to the proxy, which may listen on a port other than the ones allowed above. In that case, edit the `clo-permissive-network-policy` (or add a delegating `AdminNetworkPolicy`, see <<AdminNetworkPolicy Delegation>>) to permit egress to the proxy endpoint.

== Collector NetworkPolicy

When a `ClusterLogForwarder` is deployed and a network policy rule set is specified, the operator creates a `NetworkPolicy` for the collector pods. The policy behavior can be configured using the `networkPolicy.ruleSet` field in the collector specification. If `spec.collector.networkPolicy` is not specified, the operator will not create a `NetworkPolicy` for the collector.
