kube-eventer emit kubernetes events to sinks

Overview

kube-eventer is an event emitter that sends kubernetes events to sinks(.e.g, dingtalk,sls,kafka and so on). The core design concept of kubernetes is state machine. So there will be Normal events when transfer to desired state and Warning events occur when to unexpected state. kube-eventer can help to diagnose, analysis and alarm problems.

Usage

Here is a demo of kube-eventer with dingtalk sink. Dingtalk is an All-in-one Mobile Workplace like slack. Dingtalk sink can get kubernetes events from eventer. You can do chatops with it. Try it following the steps below.

0. Get dingtalk token Add a chatbot in a dingtalk group and get bot token.

1. Install eventer and configure sink
