This repository contains a simple event router for the Kubernetes project. The event router serves as an active watcher of event resource in the kubernetes system, which takes those events and pushes them to a user specified sink. This is useful for a number of different purposes, but most notably long term behavioral analysis of your workloads running on your kubernetes cluster.
This project has several objectives, which include:
- Persist events for longer period of time to allow for system debugging
- Allows operators to forward events to other system(s) for archiving/ML/introspection/etc.
- It should be relatively low overhead
- Support for multiple sinks should be configurable
By default, eventrouter is configured to leverage existing EFK stacks by outputting wrapped json object which are easy to index in elastic search.
- This service does not provide a querable extension, that is a responsibility of the sink
- This service does not serve as a storage layer, that is also the responsibility of the sink
Standup:
$ kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kuoss/eventrouter/main/yaml/eventrouter.yaml
Teardown:
$ kubectl delete -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kuoss/eventrouter/main/yaml/eventrouter.yaml
$ kubectl logs -f deployment/eventrouter -n kube-system
Watch events roll through the system and hopefully stream into your ES cluster for mining, Hooray!
