CHECK_KUBERNETES

Nagios-style checks against Kubernetes API. Designed for usage with Nagios, Icinga, Zabbix... Whatever.

Dependencies

  • jq
  • openssl
  • bc (for mode pvc)

Script usage

Usage $0 [-m <MODE>|-h] [-o <TIMEOUT>] [-H <APISERVER> [-T <TOKEN>|-t <TOKENFILE>]] [-K <KUBE_CONFIG>]
         [-N <NAMESPACE>] [-n <NAME>] [-w <WARN>] [-c <CRIT>]

Options are:
  -m MODE          Which check to perform
  -H APISERVER     API URL to query, kubectl is used if this option is not set
  -T TOKEN         Authorization token for API
  -t TOKENFILE     Path to file with token in it
  -K KUBE_CONFIG   Path to kube-config file for kubectl utility
  -N NAMESPACE     Optional namespace for some modes. By default all namespaces will be used
  -n NAME          Optional deployment name or pod app label depending on the mode being used. By default all objects will be checked
  -o TIMEOUT       Timeout in seconds; default is 15
  -w WARN          Warning threshold for
                    - TLS expiration days for TLS mode; default is 30
                    - Pod restart count in pods mode; default is 30
                    - Job failed count in jobs mode; default is 1
                    - Pvc storage utilization; default is 80%
  -c CRIT          Critical threshold for
                    - Pod restart count (in pods mode); default is 150
                    - Unbound Persistent Volumes in unboundpvs mode; default is 5
                    - Job failed count in jobs mode; default is 2
                    - Pvc storage utilization; default is 90%
  -M EXIT_CODE     Exit code when resource is missing; default is 2 (CRITICAL)
  -h               Show this help and exit

Modes are:
  apiserver        Not for kubectl, should be used for each apiserver independently
  nodes            Check for active nodes
  daemonsets       Check for daemonsets readiness
  deployments      Check for deployments availability
  jobs             Check for failed jobs
  pods             Check for restart count of containters in the pods
  replicasets      Check for replicasets readiness
  statefulsets     Check for statefulsets readiness
  tls              Check for tls secrets expiration dates
  pvc              Check for pvc utilization
  unboundpvs       Check for unbound persistent volumes.
  components       Check for health of k8s components (Deprectaed in K8s 1.19+)

Examples:

Check apiserver health using tokenfile:

./check_kubernetes.sh -m apiserver -H https://<...>:6443 -t /path/to/tokenfile
OK. Kubernetes apiserver health is OK

Check whether all deployments are available using token:

./check_kubernetes.sh -m deployments -H https://<...>:6443 -T eYN6...
OK. 27 deploymens are available

Check one definite deployment using kubectl:

./check_kubernetes.sh -m deployments -H https://<...>:6443 -K /path/to/kube_config -N ingress-nginx -n nginx-ingress-controller
OK. Deployment available

Check nodes using kubectl with default kube config:

./check_kubernetes.sh -m nodes -H https://<...>:6443
OK. 4 nodes are Ready

Check pods (by the restarts count):

./check_kubernetes.sh -m pods -H https://<...>:6443 -N kube-system -w 5
WARNING. Container kube-system/calico-node-5kc4n/calico-node: 6 restarts. 22 pods ready, 0 pods not ready

Check daemonstets (compare number of desired and number of ready pods):

./check_kubernetes.sh -m daemonsets -K ~/.kube/cluster -N monitoring
OK. Daemonset monitoring/node-exporter 5/5 ready

Check replicasets (compare number of desired and number of ready pods):

./check_kubernetes.sh -m replicasets -K ~/.kube/cluster -N monitoring
OK. Replicaset monitoring/node-exporter 5/5 ready

Check statefulsets (compare number of desired and number of ready pods):

./check_kubernetes.sh -m statefulsets -K ~/.kube/cluster -N monitoring
OK. Statefulset monitoring/node-exporter 5/5 ready

Check TLS certs:

./check_kubernetes.sh -m tls -H https://<...>:6443 -T $TOKEN -N kube-system
kube-system/k8s-local-cert is about to expire in 18 days

Check failed jobs with any name:

./check_kubernetes.sh -m jobs
CRITICAL. Job bad has 5 failures. Job bad2 has 4 failures. 9 jobs in total have failed

Checked failed jobs named 'good':

./check_kubernetes.sh -m jobs -n good
OK: 0 failed jobs is below threshold

Check utilization if pvc (if consumes more than %):

./check_kubernetes.sh -m pvc
CRITICAL. Very high storage utilization on pvc prometheus-data: 93% (86106636288/157459890176 Bytes)

Brief mode (removed in v1.1.0)

All modes support the -b brief option. In this mode, a single numerical output is returned. The number is positive on success and zero or negative on error.

For boolean checks, 1 is returned on success and 0 on error.

For numerical checks, the number is returned on success and zero or a negative number on error. For example, when used with pods, the number of pods is returned, but minus the number of restarts if it exceeds the warning threshold (so if 3 pods are ok and 1 failed, 3 is returned, but if 4 pods are ok with none failed but 157 restarts with default settings, -157 is returned). Sometimes positivity suffices, sometimes you need to monitor the exact number.

ServiceAccount and token

All the needed objects (ServiceAccount, ClusterRole, RoleBinding) can be created with this command:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/agapoff/check_kubernetes/master/account.yaml

For mode pvc or tls you need to enable the permissions in the yaml first. Those two can have security implications and are thus disabled by default.

Then in order to get the token just issue this command:

kubectl -n monitoring get secret "$(kubectl -n monitoring get serviceaccount monitoring -o 'jsonpath={.secrets[0].name}')" -o "jsonpath={.data.token}" | openssl enc -d -base64 -A
