README

Sonobuoy

Maintainers: Heptio

Build Status

Overview

Heptio Sonobuoy is a diagnostic tool that makes it easier to understand the state of a Kubernetes cluster by running a set of Kubernetes conformance tests in an accessible and non-destructive manner. It is a customizable, extendable, and cluster-agnostic way to generate clear, informative reports about your cluster.

Its selective data dumps of Kubernetes resource objects and cluster nodes allow for the following use cases:

  • Integrated end-to-end (e2e) conformance-testing
  • Workload debugging
  • Custom data collection via extensible plugins

Sonobuoy supports Kubernetes versions 1.9 and later.

More information

The documentation provides further information about the conformance tests, plugins, etc.

Prerequisites

  • Access to an up-and-running Kubernetes cluster. If you do not have a cluster, we recommend following the AWS Quickstart for Kubernetes instructions.

Getting Started

The browser-based Sonobuoy Scanner tool is the quickest way to get started with Sonobuoy. Sonobuoy Scanner also provides a user-friendly way of viewing your scan results.

NOTE: Sonobuoy Scanner runs conformance tests only.

Using the CLI

Sonobuoy also provides a CLI that lets you run Sonobuoy on your cluster. By default, the CLI records the following results:

  • Information about your cluster's hosts, Kubernetes resources, and versions.
  • systemd logs from each host. Requires a plugin.
  • The results of a e2e conformance tests.
CLI Prerequisites
  • Golang installed. We recommend gimme, with golang version 1.9.4.

  • Your $PATH configured:

$ export PATH=$GOROOT/bin:$GOPATH/bin:$PATH 
Download and run

Download the CLI by running:

$ go get -u -v github.com/heptio/sonobuoy

Deploy a Sonobuoy pod to your cluster with:

$ sonobuoy run

View actively running pods:

$ sonobuoy status 

To inspect the logs:

$ sonobuoy logs

To view the output, copy the output directory from the main Sonobuoy pod to somewhere local:

$ sonobuoy retrieve .

This copies a single .tar.gz snapshot from the Sonobuoy pod into your local . directory. Extract the contents into ./results with:

mkdir ./results; tar xzf *.tar.gz -C ./results

For information on the contents of the snapshot, see the snapshot documentation.

Cleanup

To clean up Kubernetes objects created by Sonobuoy, run:

sonobuoy delete
Run on Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

Note that if you run Sonobuoy on a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster, you must first create an admin role for the user under which you run Sonobuoy:

kubectl create clusterrolebinding <your-user-cluster-admin-binding> --clusterrole=cluster-admin --user=<your.google.cloud.email@example.org>

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any problems that the documentation does not address, file an issue.
