Gateways are not shown on console, network status

[hash-d]

Describe the bug

A skupper gateway is not represented on the console or on the output of skupper network status.

How To Reproduce

• Create a single-site VAN, with console enabled
• Create a gateway pointing to that site
• Run skupper network status and check the topology on the console

Expected behavior

I'd expect the gateway routers to be represented on the output.

Even skupper network status -v shows no references to them, though #1350 gives me the impression they should.

The services can be exposed using the gateway, both ways; the services will appear on the output of service status and on the console. On the console, though, no site will be associated with them.

Environment details

• Skupper CLI: 1.5.3
• Skupper Operator (if applicable): N/A
• Platform: openshift

Additional context

I'm not sure what is the expected behavior in this case. However, as I did not see any documentation otherwise, I would have expected the gateways to be present on these VAN representations.

As the gateway does not have a controller such as k8s and podman sites, the collector infers the presence of a gateway by detecting traffic that the gateway is a participant in. Did you run any traffic over the services? We probably should release note this behavior.

@ajssmith, yes no traffic. With traffic added, the topology shows the single site pointing to itself, and a new site-clients component is shown on the Processes and Components tab; skupper network status -v remains unchanged.

The gateway service still shows no server associated to them, though, or metrics.

skupper network status -v still have no reference to the gateway, though:

hi @hash-d could you provide the content of the skupper network status config map at that point?

@nluaces, there you go:

@nluaces, and no changes to the map after I run some traffic through the service
