Overview

This input type allows you to specify Kubernetes pods and namespaces for Edge Delta to monitor.

Review Parameters

Review the following parameters that you can configure in the Edge Delta App:

YAML Description
labels

Enter a descriptive label for this input. 

When you create a workflow, you will use this label to enter your input into the workflow. 

apache,errorcheck is the default label.

This parameter is required.

Review the following example: 

labels: "apache,errorcheck"
include

Enter the Kubernetes attributes to include.

To specify which input to add, you must provide include/exclude regex filters.

  • All rules in the same line with a comma(",") separated means AND:

     include:
   - "rule-1,rule-2"

  • All rules under the same part (include/exclude) means OR:

     include:
   - "rule-1"
   - "rule-2"
  • The Kubernetes Exclude field takes precedence over the Kubernetes Include field.
  • If the value you provide after pod=, namespace=, or kind= is contained anywhere in the pod or namespace name, then the value will match.

This parameter is optional.

Review the following example: 

include:
  - "pod=^apache.*$,namespace=.*web*"
exclude

Enter the Kubernetes attributes to exclude.

To specify which input to add, you must provide include/exclude regex filters.

  • All rules in the same line with a comma(",") separated means AND:

     exclude:
   - "rule-1,rule-2"

  • All rules under the same part (include/exclude) means OR:

     exclude:
   - "rule-1"
   - "rule-2"
  • The Kubernetes Exclude field takes precedence over the Kubernetes Include field.
  • If the value you provide after pod=, namespace=, or kind= is contained anywhere in the pod or namespace name, then the value will match.

This parameter is optional.

Review the following example: 

exclude: 
  - "namespace=^kube-nginx$"
  - "pod=.*nginx*,kind=StatefulSet"
auto_detect_line_pattern

Enter true or false to enable auto line detection for log messages with multiple lines.

This parameter is optional.

Review the following example: 

auto_detect_line_pattern: true
boost_stracktrace_detection

Enter true or false to enhance (or troubleshoot missed patterns) the Auto Line Detection parameter. 

This parameter is optional.

Review the following example: 

boost_stacktrace_detection: true
filters

Select an existing filter to add to this input. 

Note

In addition to the Kubernetes-specific filters that you can configure, you can also use universal filters, such as regex, that are applicable to most inputs.

You can use a filter to discard unnecessary logs or protect sensitive data. As a result, filters can help reduce the agent's resource load because of the reduced log ingestion.

To use a universal filter, you must: 

  1. Create a filter
  2. Add the filter to the input
  3. Review the following example of how to add the regex-error-doc-example filter into a YAML file: 
    filters:
- name: regex-error-doc-example
  type: regex
  pattern: error|ERROR|ERR|Err

To learn more about universal filters, see Filters.

This parameter is optional.

Review the following example: 

filters: 
  - info 
  - not_trace 
  - mask_card 
  - mask_password

Review Sample Configuration 

Review the following sample configuration: 

  kubernetes:
    - labels: "nginx,errorcheck"
      include:
        - "pod=^nginx.*$,kind=ReplicaSet,namespace=default,container-name=nginx,container-image=docker.io/nginx:latest,labels.my_app=abc"
      exclude: # exclude has higher priority
        - "namespace=^kube-system$"
    - labels: "apache,errorcheck"
      include:
        - "pod=^apache.*$,namespace=.*web*"
      exclude: # exclude has higher priority
        - "namespace=^kube-nginx$"
        - "pod=.*nginx*,kind=StatefulSet"
    - labels: "k8s with enrichment dynamic fields from labels"
      include:
        - "pod=flog,namespace=default"
      filters:
      - enrichment-failure-behavior
    - labels: "k8s with enrichment aws metadata"
      include:
        - "pod=flog,namespace=default"
      filters:
      - enrichment-aws
