k8s-event-logger

This chart runs a pod that simply watches Kubernetes Events and logs them to stdout in JSON to be collected and stored by your logging solution, e.g. fluentd or fluent-bit.

Events in Kubernetes log very important information. If are trying to understand what happened in the past then these events show clearly what your Kubernetes cluster was thinking and doing. Some examples:

• Pod events like failed probes, crashes, scheduling related information like TriggeredScaleUp or FailedScheduling
• HorizontalPodAutoscaler events like scaling up and down
• Deployment events like scaling in and out of ReplicaSets
• Ingress events like create and update

The problem is that these events are simply API objects in Kubernetes and are only stored for about 1 hour. Without some way of storing these events, debugging a problem in the past very tricky.
