kubernetes-diff-logger

This simple application is designed to watch Kubernetes objects and log diffs when they occur. It is designed to log changes to Kubernetes objects in a clean way for storage and processing in Loki.

Example

./kubernetes-diff-logger -namespace=default
{"timestamp":"2019-10-23T16:57:23Z","verb":"updated","type":"deployment","notes":"[Replicas: 1 != 2]", "name":"nginx"}}
{"timestamp":"2019-10-23T16:57:35Z","verb":"updated","type":"deployment","notes":"[Template.Spec.Containers.slice[0].Image: nginx != nginx:latest]", "name":"nginx"}}

See Deployment for example yaml to deploy to Kubernetes. The example will monitor and log information about changes in all namespaces.
