Kubernetes

The Kubernetes check performs requests on Kubernetes resources such as Pods to get the desired information.

junit.yaml
apiVersion: canaries.flanksource.com/v1
kind: Canary
metadata:
name: kube-system-checks
spec:
interval: 30
kubernetes:
- namespace: kube-system
name: kube-system
kind: Pod
# ready: true
# resource:
# labelSelector: k8s-app=kube-dns
namespaceSelector:
name: default
display:
expr: |
dyn(results).
map(i, i.Object).
filter(i, !k8s.isHealthy(i)).
map(i, "%s/%s -> %s".format([i.metadata.namespace, i.metadata.name, k8s.getHealth(i).message])).join('\n')
test:
expr: dyn(results).all(x, k8s.isHealthy(x))
FieldDescriptionScheme
kind*

Kubernetes object kind

string

name*

Name of the check, must be unique within the canary

string

healthy

Fail the check if any resources are unhealthy

boolean

ignore

Ignore the specified resources from the fetched resources. Can be a glob pattern.

[]glob

namespace

Failing checks will be placed in this namespace, useful if you have shared namespaces

namespaceSelector

Namespace of the Kubernetes object

ResourceSelector

ready

Fail the check if any resources are not ready

boolean

resource

Queries resources related to specified Kubernetes object

ResourceSelector

description

Description for the check

string

display

Expression to change the formatting of the display

Expression

icon

Icon for overwriting default icon on the dashboard

Icon

labels

Labels for check

map[string]string

metrics

Metrics to export from

[]Metrics

test

Evaluate whether a check is healthy

Expression

transform

Transform data from a check into multiple individual checks

Expression

kubeconfig

Path to a kubeconfig on disk, or a reference to an existing secret

EnvVar

Healthy

Using healthy: true is functionally equivalent to the test expression above:

apiVersion: canaries.flanksource.com/v1
kind: Canary
metadata:
name: kube-system-checks
spec:
interval: 30
kubernetes:
- namespace: kube-system
name: kube-system
kind: Pod
healthy: true
resource:
labelSelector: k8s-app=kube-dns
namespaceSelector:
name: kube-system
display:
expr: |
dyn(results).
map(i, i.Object).
filter(i, !k8s.isHealthy(i)).
map(i, "%s/%s -> %s".format([i.metadata.namespace, i.metadata.name, k8s.getHealth(i).message])).join('\n')

See the CEL Kubernetes docs for more details on the k8s.isHealthy and other functions available

Ready

Similar to the healthy flag, there's also a ready flag which is functionally equivalent to having the following test expression

dyn(results).all(x, k8s.isReady(x))

Checking for certificate readiness
junit.yaml
apiVersion: canaries.flanksource.com/v1
kind: Canary
metadata:
name: cert-manager
spec:
schedule: "@every 15m"
kubernetes:
- name: cert-manager-check
kind: Certificate
test:
expr: |
dyn(results).
map(i, i.Object).
filter(i, i.status.conditions[0].status != "True").size() == 0
display:
expr: |
dyn(results).
map(i, i.Object).
filter(i, i.status.conditions[0].status != "True").
map(i, "%s/%s -> %s".format([i.metadata.namespace, i.metadata.name, i.status.conditions[0].message])).join('\n')
