Tracing on Kyverno

Tracing Tutorial with Grafana Tempo

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

This walkthrough shows how to create a local cluster and deploy a number of components, including an ingress-nginx ingress controller, Grafana and the Tempo backend to store traces.

On the prepared cluster we will deploy Kyverno with tracing enabled and a couple of policies.

Finally we will exercise the Kyverno webhooks by creating a Pod, then we will use Grafana to find and examine the corresponding trace.

Please note that this walkthrough uses kind to create a local cluster with a specific label on the control plane node. This is necessary as we are using an ingress-nginx deployment specifically crafted to work with kind. All other components setup should not be kind specific but may require different configuration depending on the target cluster.

Tracing Tutorial with Jaeger

This walkthrough shows how to create a local cluster and deploy a number of components, including an ingress-nginx ingress controller, and Jaeger to store, query and visualise traces.

On the prepared cluster we will deploy Kyverno with tracing enabled and a couple of policies.

Finally we will exercise the Kyverno webhooks by creating a Pod, then we will use Jaeger to find and examine the corresponding trace.
