goflow2-kube-enricher

This tool is deprecated and won't receive any fix. Please use flowlogs-pipeline instead (https://github.com/netobserv/flowlogs-pipeline). This repository will be archived soon (read-only)

Description

This enricher adds kubernetes data to the output of goflow2 based, by default, on the source and destination addresses of each record. It then exports the data to Loki.

Check overall documentation on netobserv/documents repository

Configuration

A ConfigMap can be set up and passed as command line argument via -config /path/to/config, see the YAML example.

Configurable fields are:

The fields mapping can be overriden for more general purpose using the -mapping option. The default is SrcAddr=Src,DstAddr=Dst. Keys refer to the fields to look for in goflow2 output and values refer to the prefix to use in created fields. For instance, it could be possible to process the NextHop field the same way with -mapping "SrcAddr=Src,DstAddr=Dst,NextHop=Nxt"

Generated fields are (with [Prefix] being by default Src or Dst):

• [Prefix]Pod: pod name
• [Prefix]Namespace: pod namespace
• [Prefix]HostIP: pod's host IP
• [Prefix]Workload: pod's workload, ie. controller/owner
• [Prefix]WorkloadKind: workload kind (deployment, daemon set, etc.)
• [Prefix]Warn: any warning message that could have been triggered while processing kube info

Build binary

make all # = make fmt build lint test

Build image

(This image will contain both goflow2 and the plugin)

# build an image with version "dev":
make image

# build and push a test version:
IMAGE=quay.io/myuser/goflow2-kube VERSION=test make image push

To run it, simply pipe goflow2 output to kube-enricher.

RBAC

If RBAC is enabled, kube-enricher needs a few cluster-wide permissions:

• LIST on Pods and Services
• GET on ReplicaSets

Check goflow-kube.yaml for an example.

Examples in Kube

Assuming built image is quay.io/netobserv/goflow2-kube:dev.

Since both goflow + enricher are contained inside a single image, you can declare the following command inside the pod container:

# ...
      containers:
      - command:
        - /bin/sh
        - -c
        - /goflow2 -loglevel "trace" | /kube-enricher -loglevel "trace"
        image: quay.io/netobserv/goflow2-kube:dev
# ...

Check the examples directory.

Example of output:

{"BiFlowDirection":0,"Bytes":20800,"DstAS":0,"DstAddr":"10.96.0.1","DstMac":"0a:58:0a:f4:00:01","DstNet":0,"DstPort":443,"DstVlan":0,"EgressVrfID":0,"Etype":2048,"EtypeName":"IPv4","ForwardingStatus":0,"FragmentId":0,"FragmentOffset":0,"IPTTL":0,"IPTos":0,"IPv6FlowLabel":0,"IcmpCode":0,"IcmpName":"","IcmpType":0,"InIf":12,"IngressVrfID":0,"NextHop":"","NextHopAS":0,"OutIf":0,"Packets":400,"Proto":6,"ProtoName":"TCP","SamplerAddress":"10.244.0.2","SamplingRate":0,"SequenceNum":577,"SrcAS":0,"SrcAddr":"10.244.0.5","SrcHostIP":"10.89.0.2","SrcMac":"0a:58:0a:f4:00:05","SrcNamespace":"local-path-storage","SrcNet":0,"SrcPod":"local-path-provisioner-78776bfc44-p2xkl","SrcPort":56144,"SrcVlan":0,"SrcWorkload":"local-path-provisioner","SrcWorkloadKind":"Deployment","TCPFlags":0,"TimeFlowEnd":0,"TimeFlowStart":0,"TimeReceived":1628419398,"Type":"IPFIX","VlanId":0}

Notice "SrcPod":"local-path-provisioner-78776bfc44-p2xkl", "SrcWorkload":"local-path-provisioner", "SrcNamespace":"local-path-storage", etc.

Run on Kind with ovn-kubernetes

First, refer to this documentation to setup ovn-k on Kind. Then:

kubectl apply -f ./examples/goflow-kube.yaml
GF_IP=`kubectl get svc goflow-kube -ojsonpath='{.spec.clusterIP}'` && echo $GF_IP
kubectl set env daemonset/ovnkube-node -c ovnkube-node -n ovn-kubernetes OVN_IPFIX_TARGETS="$GF_IP:2055"

or simply:

make ovnk-deploy

Legacy Netflow (v5)

Similarly:

kubectl apply -f ./examples/goflow-kube-legacy.yaml
GF_IP=`kubectl get svc goflow-kube-legacy -ojsonpath='{.spec.clusterIP}'` && echo $GF_IP
kubectl set env daemonset/ovnkube-node -c ovnkube-node -n ovn-kubernetes OVN_NETFLOW_TARGETS="$GF_IP:2056"

Run on OpenShift with OVNKubernetes network provider

• Pre-requisite: make sure you have a running OpenShift cluster (4.8 at least) with OVNKubernetes set as the network provider.

In OpenShift, a difference with the upstream ovn-kubernetes is that the flows export config is managed by the ClusterNetworkOperator.

oc apply -f ./examples/goflow-kube.yaml
GF_IP=`oc get svc goflow-kube -ojsonpath='{.spec.clusterIP}'` && echo $GF_IP
oc patch networks.operator.openshift.io cluster --type='json' -p "$(sed -e "s/GF_IP/$GF_IP/" examples/net-cluster-patch.json)"

or simply:

make cno-deploy

App label and logs

You can use app=goflow-kube label to retreive any components deployed.

Show all components: kubectl get all -l app=goflow-kube

Get pod logs: kubectl logs -l app=goflow-kube
