"failed to watch KV" when setting up etcd provider

Traefik Traefik v2
1

Hi,

I've been playing around with the etcd provider and I can't get it to work. I'm running traefik 2.2.1 and etcd server 3.3.8.

I thought I misconfigured the endpoint uri, but after changing the port in the endpoint to something random traefik complains about Error while initializing provider *etcd.Provider: failed to Connect to KV store: context deadline exceeded. Changing the port back to the correct port and the error disappears. So I assume the connection is working.

My provider config is rather simple:

    - --providers.kubernetescrd
    - --providers.etcd=true
    - --providers.etcd.endpoints=10.245.242.120:2379

If I read the log correctly the provider starts and manages to write & validate a key (the second line with the Exists), but after that it seems to be broken.

The debug log shows:

level=info msg="Starting provider *etcd.Provider {\"rootKey\":\"traefik\",\"endpoints\":[\"10.245.242.120:2379\"]}"
level=debug msg="Exists: traefik/qmslkjdfmqlskdjfmqlksjazçueznbvbwzlkajzebvkwjdcqmlsfj"

level=error msg="KV connection error: failed to watch KV: Key not found in store, retrying in 503.04503ms" providerName=etcd
level=debug msg="WatchTree: traefik"

Did I misconfigure something? Or do I somehow have to prepare the traefik key in etcd?
