BlackBox testing/monitoring the Kubernetes Cluster

10/27/2018

I need to setup some jenkins jobs that probe the cluster every X minutes, and make sure everything is working and functional. Are there any good off-the-shelf blackbox probers for the Kubernetes API , either opensource or provided by some vendor.

Although I can write my own shell scripts to do test deployments and check things that everything is in good shape , But i am looking for blackbox test suite with some reasonable coverage like:

  • checking deployements are working
  • replcaSet are doing the replicas
  • service discovery and dNS are functional
  • configmaps and secrets can be created , and the secret encryption is working
  • apiServer latency is not too high
  • horizontal pod auto scaling is working
  • service can be created and user can connect from outside
