Kubeeye – Tool To Find Various Problems On Kubernetes, Such As Application Misconfiguration, Unhealthy Cluster Components And Node Problems
KubeEye is an inspection tool for Kubernetes to discover Kubernetes resources (by OPA ), cluster components, cluster nodes (by Node-Problem-Detector) and other configurations are meeting with best practices, and giving suggestions for modification.
KubeEye supports custom inspection rules and plugins installation. Through KubeEye Operator, you can view the inspection results and modification suggestions by the graphical display on the web page.
Architecture
KubeEye get cluster resource details by the Kubernetes API, inspect the resource configurations by inspection rules and plugins, and generate inspection results. See Architecture for details.
How to use
-
Install KubeEye on your machine
-
Download pre built executables from Releases.
-
Or you can build from source code
Note: make install will create kubeeye in /usr/local/bin/ on your machine.
git clone https://github.com/kubesphere/kubeeye.git
cd kubeeye
make installke -
-
[Optional] Install Node-problem-Detector
Note: This will install npd on your cluster, only required if you want detailed report.
kubeeye install npd- Run KubeEye
Note: The results of kubeeye sort by resource kind.

Add your own inspection rules
Add custom OPA rules
- create a directory for OPA rules
mkdir opa- Add custom OPA rules files
Note: the OPA rule for workloads, package name must be kubeeye_workloads_regofor RBAC, package name must be kubeeye_RBAC_regofor nodes, package name must be kubeeye_nodes_rego
- Save the following rules to rule file such as imageRegistryRule.rego to check the image registry address complies with rules.
package kubeeye_workloads_rego
deny[msg] {
resource := input
type := resource.Object.kind
resourcename := resource.Object.metadata.name
resourcenamespace := resource.Object.metadata.namespace
workloadsType := {"Deployment","ReplicaSet","DaemonSet","StatefulSet","Job"}
workloadsType[type]
not workloadsImageRegistryRule(resource)
msg := {
"Name": sprintf("%v", [resourcename]),
"Namespace": sprintf("%v", [resourcenamespace]),
"Type": sprintf("%v", [type]),
"Message": "ImageRegistryNotmyregistry"
}
}
workloadsImageRegistryRule(resource) {
regex.match("^myregistry.public.kubesphere/basic/.+", resource.Object.spec.template.spec.containers[_].image)
}- Run KubeEye with custom rules
Note: Specify the path then Kubeeye will read all files in the directory that end with .rego.
