Check if there are any errors logged in the Knative components

$ kubectl logs -n knative-serving <pod-name>
$ kubectl logs -n knative-eventing <pod-name>
$ kubectl logs -n <ingress-namespaces> <pod-namespaces> # see above for the relevant namespaces

For example

$ kubectl logs -n knative-serving activator-6b9dc4c9db-cl56b
2023/05/01 11:52:51 Registering 3 clients
2023/05/01 11:52:51 Registering 3 informer factories
2023/05/01 11:52:51 Registering 4 informers

Check the status of the Knative Resources

$ kubectl describe -n <namespace> kservice
$ kubectl describe -n <namespace> config
$ kubectl describe -n <namespace> revision
$ kubectl describe -n <namespace> sks # Serverless Service
$ kubectl describe -n <namespace> kingress # Knative Ingress
$ kubectl describe -n <namespace> rt # Knative Route
$ kubectl describe -n <namespace> dm # Domain-Mapping

Check the status at the end. For example
