Kubernetes


Collect indicators, objects and log data of container and Kubernetes and report them to Guance Cloud.

Configuration

Preconditions

  • At present, container supported Docker/Containerd/CRI-O runtime
    • Docker v17.04 and above should be installed, Container v15.1 and above should be installed, CRI-O 1.20.1 and above should be installed.
  • Collecting Kubernetes data requires the DataKit to be deployed as a DaemonSet.
Info
  • Container collection supports both Docker and Containerd runtime Version-1.5.7, and both are enabled by default.

In the case of a pure Docker or Containerd environment, the DataKit can only be installed on the host machine.

Go to the conf.d/container directory under the DataKit installation directory, copy container.conf.sample and name it container.conf. Examples are as follows:

[inputs.container]
  endpoints = [
    "unix:///var/run/docker.sock",
    "unix:///var/run/containerd/containerd.sock",
    "unix:///var/run/crio/crio.sock",
  ]

  enable_container_metric = true
  enable_k8s_metric = true
  enable_pod_metric = false
  enable_k8s_event = true
  enable_k8s_node_local = true

  ## Add resource Label as Tags (container use Pod Label), need to specify Label keys.
  ## e.g. ["app", "name"]
  # extract_k8s_label_as_tags_v2 = []
  # extract_k8s_label_as_tags_v2_for_metric = []

  ## Containers logs to include and exclude, default collect all containers. Globs accepted.
  container_include_log = []
  container_exclude_log = ["image:*logfwd*", "image:*datakit*"]

  kubernetes_url = "https://kubernetes.default:443"

  ## Authorization level:
  ##   bearer_token -> bearer_token_string -> TLS
  ## Use bearer token for authorization. ('bearer_token' takes priority)
  ## linux at:   /run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token
  bearer_token = "/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token"
  # bearer_token_string = "<your-token-string>"

  ## Set true to enable election for k8s metric collection
  election = true

  logging_enable_multiline = true
  logging_auto_multiline_detection = true
  logging_auto_multiline_extra_patterns = []

  ## Removes ANSI escape codes from text strings.
  logging_remove_ansi_escape_codes = false

  ## Whether to collect logs from the begin of the file.
  logging_file_from_beginning = false

  ## Search logging interval, default "60s"
  #logging_search_interval = ""

  [inputs.container.logging_extra_source_map]
    # source_regexp = "new_source"

  [inputs.container.logging_source_multiline_map]
    # source = '''^\d{4}'''

  [inputs.container.tags]

Additional description of environment variables:

  • ENV_INPUT_CONTAINER_TAGS: If there is a tag with the same name in the configuration file (container.conf), it will be overwritten by the configuration here.

  • ENV_INPUT_CONTAINER_LOGGING_EXTRA_SOURCE_MAP: Specifying the replacement source with the argument format regular expression=new_source, which is replaced by new_source when a source matches the regular expression. If the replacement is successful, the source( Version-1.4.7)configured in annotations/labels is no longer used. If you want to make an exact match, you need to use ^ and $ to enclose the content. For example, if a regular expression is written as datakit, it can not only match the word datakit , but also match datakit123; Written as ^datakit$ , you can only match datakit.

  • ENV_INPUT_CONTAINER_LOGGING_SOURCE_MULTILINE_MAP_JSON: Used to specify the mapping of source to multi-row configuration. If a log is not configured with multiline_match, the corresponding multiline_match is found and used here based on its source. Because the multiline_match value is a regular expression, it is more complex, so the value format is a JSON string that can be coded and compressed into a single line using json.cn.

Attention
  • Object data collection interval is 5 minutes and metric data collection interval is 20 seconds. Configuration is not supported for the time being.
  • Acquired log has a maximum length of 32MB per line (including after multiline_match processing), the excess will be truncated and discarded.

Docker and Containerd Sock File Configuration

If the sock path of Docker or Containerd is not the default, you need to specify the sock file path. According to different deployment methods of DataKit, the methods are different. Take Containerd as an example:

Modify the containerd_address configuration entry of container.conf to set it to the corresponding sock path.

Change the volumes containerd-socket of DataKit.yaml, mount the new path into the DataKit, and configure the environment variablesENV_INPUT_CONTAINER_ENDPOINTS

# add envs
- env:
  - name: ENV_INPUT_CONTAINER_ENDPOINTS
    value: ["unix:///path/to/new/containerd/containerd.sock"]

# modify mountPath
  - mountPath: /path/to/new/containerd/containerd.sock
    name: containerd-socket
    readOnly: true

# modify volumes
volumes:
- hostPath:
    path: /path/to/new/containerd/containerd.sock
  name: containerd-socket

Environment Variables ENV_INPUT_CONTAINER_ENDPOINTS is added to the existing endpoints configuration, and the actual endpoints configuration may have many items. The collector will remove duplicates and connect and collect them one by one.

The default endpoints configuration is:

  endpoints = [
    "unix:///var/run/docker.sock",
    "unix:///var/run/containerd/containerd.sock",
    "unix:///var/run/crio/crio.sock",
  ] 

Using Environment Variables ENV_INPUT_CONTAINER_ENDPOINTS is["unix:///path/to/new//run/containerd.sock"],The final endpoints configuration is as follows:

  endpoints = [
    "unix:///var/run/docker.sock",
    "unix:///var/run/containerd/containerd.sock",
    "unix:///var/run/crio/crio.sock",
    "unix:///path/to/new//run/containerd.sock",
  ] 

The collector will connect and collect these containers during runtime. If the sock file does not exist, an error log will be output when the first connection fails, which does not affect subsequent collection.

Prometheus Exporter Metrics Collection

If the Pod/container has exposed Prometheus metrics, there are two ways to collect them, see here.

Log Collection

See here for the relevant configuration of log collection.


Metric

 [inputs.container.tags]
  # some_tag = "some_value"
  # more_tag = "some_other_value"
  # ...

All collected Kubernetes resources will have a Label that matches the CustomerKey. For example, if the CustomerKey is name, DaemonSets, Deployments, Pods, and other resources will search for name in their own current Labels and add it to tags.

Containers will add Customer Labels of the Pods they belong to.

FAQ

NODE_LOCAL Mode Requires New RBAC Permissions

The ENV_INPUT_CONTAINER_ENABLE_K8S_NODE_LOCAL mode is only recommended for DaemonSet deployment and requires access to kubelet, so the nodes/stats permission needs to be added to RBAC. For example:

apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRole
metadata:
  name: datakit
rules:
- apiGroups: [""]
  resources: ["nodes", "nodes/stats"]
  verbs: ["get", "list", "watch"]

In addition, the Datakit Pod needs to have the hostNetwork: true configuration item enabled.

Collect PersistentVolumes and PersistentVolumeClaims Requires New Permissions

Datakit version 1.25.0 Version-1.25.0 supported the collection of object data for Kubernetes PersistentVolume and PersistentVolumeClaim, which require new RBAC permissions, as described below:

apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRole
metadata:
  name: datakit
rules:
- apiGroups: [""]
  resources: ["persistentvolumes", "persistentvolumeclaims"]
  verbs: ["get", "list", "watch"]

Kubernetes YAML Sensitive Field Mask

Datakit collects yaml configurations for resources such as Kubernetes Pod or Service and stores them in the yaml field of the object data. If the yaml contains sensitive data (such as passwords), Datakit does not support manually configuring and shielding sensitive fields for the time being. It is recommended to use Kubernetes' official practice, that is, to use ConfigMap or Secret to hide sensitive fields.

For example, you now need to add a password to the env, which would normally be like this:

    containers:
    - name: mycontainer
      image: redis
      env:
        - name: SECRET_PASSWORD
    value: password123

When orchestrating yaml configuration, passwords will be stored in clear text, which is very unsafe. You can use Kubernetes Secret to implement hiding as follows:

Create a Secret:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: mysecret
type: Opaque
data:
  username: username123
  password: password123

Execute:

kubectl apply -f mysecret.yaml

Using Secret in env:

    containers:
    - name: mycontainer
      image: redis
      env:
        - name: SECRET_PASSWORD
    valueFrom:
          secretKeyRef:
            name: mysecret
            key: password
            optional: false

See doc.
