title: Auditing
---
{{< toc >}}
{{< feature-state state="beta" >}}
Kubernetes auditing provides a security-relevant chronological set of records documenting
the sequence of activities that have affected system by individual users, administrators
or other components of the system. It allows cluster administrator to
answer the following questions:
- what happened?
- when did it happen?
- who initiated it?
- on what did it happen?
- where was it observed?
- from where was it initiated?
- to where was it going?
[Kube-apiserver][kube-apiserver] performs auditing. Each request on each stage
of its execution generates an event, which is then pre-processed according to
a certain policy and written to a backend. The policy determines what's recorded
and the backends persist the records. The current backend implementations
include logs files and webhooks.
Each request can be recorded with an associated "stage". The known stages are:
- `RequestReceived` - The stage for events generated as soon as the audit
handler receives the request, and before it is delegated down the handler
chain.
- `ResponseStarted` - Once the response headers are sent, but before the
response body is sent. This stage is only generated for long-running requests
(e.g. watch).
- `ResponseComplete` - The response body has been completed and no more bytes
will be sent.
- `Panic` - Events generated when a panic occurred.
{{< note >}}
**Note** The audit logging feature increases the memory consumption of the API
server because some context required for auditing is stored for each request.
Additionally, memory consumption depends on the audit logging configuration.
{{< /note >}}
## Audit Policy
Audit policy defines rules about what events should be recorded and what data
they should include. The audit policy object structure is defined in the
[`audit.k8s.io` API group][auditing-api]. When an event is processed, it's
compared against the list of rules in order. The first matching rule sets the
"audit level" of the event. The known audit levels are:
- `None` - don't log events that match this rule.
- `Metadata` - log request metadata (requesting user, timestamp, resource,
verb, etc.) but not request or response body.
- `Request` - log event metadata and request body but not response body.
This does not apply for non-resource requests.
- `RequestResponse` - log event metadata, request and response bodies.
This does not apply for non-resource requests.
You can pass a file with the policy to [kube-apiserver][kube-apiserver]
using the `--audit-policy-file` flag. If the flag is omitted, no events are logged.
Note that the `rules` field __must__ be provided in the audit policy file.
A policy with no (0) rules is treated as illegal.
Below is an example audit policy file:
{{< code file="audit-policy.yaml" >}}
You can use a minimal audit policy file to log all requests at the `Metadata` level:
```yaml
# Log all requests at the Metadata level.
apiVersion: audit.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Policy
rules:
- level: Metadata
```
The [audit profile used by GCE][gce-audit-profile] should be used as reference by
admins constructing their own audit profiles.
## Audit backends
Audit backends persist audit events to an external storage.
[Kube-apiserver][kube-apiserver] out of the box provides two backends:
- Log backend, which writes events to a disk
- Webhook backend, which sends events to an external API
In both cases, audit events structure is defined by the API in the
`audit.k8s.io` API group. The current version of the API is
[`v1beta1`][auditing-api].
**Note:** In case of patches, request body is a JSON array with patch operations, not a JSON object
with an appropriate Kubernetes API object. For example, the following request body is a valid patch
request to `/apis/batch/v1/namespaces/some-namespace/jobs/some-job-name`.
```json
[
{
"op": "replace",
"path": "/spec/parallelism",
"value": 0
},
{
"op": "remove",
"path": "/spec/template/spec/containers/0/terminationMessagePolicy"
}
]
```
### Log backend
Log backend writes audit events to a file in JSON format. You can configure
log audit backend using the following [kube-apiserver][kube-apiserver] flags:
- `--audit-log-path` specifies the log file path that log backend uses to write
audit events. Not specifying this flag disables log backend. `-` means standard out
- `--audit-log-maxage` defined the maximum number of days to retain old audit log files
- `--audit-log-maxbackup` defines the maximum number of audit log files to retain
- `--audit-log-maxsize` defines the maximum size in megabytes of the audit log file before it gets rotated
### Webhook backend
Webhook backend sends audit events to a remote API, which is assumed to be the
same API as [kube-apiserver][kube-apiserver] exposes. You can configure webhook
audit backend using the following kube-apiserver flags:
- `--audit-webhook-config-file` specifies the path to a file with a webhook
configuration. Webhook configuration is effectively a [kubeconfig][kubeconfig].
- `--audit-webhook-initial-backoff` specifies the amount of time to wait after the first failed
request before retrying. Subsequent requests are retried with exponential backoff.
The webhook config file uses the kubeconfig format to specify the remote address of
the service and credentials used to connect to it.
### Batching
Both log and webhook backends support batching. Using webhook as an example, here's the list of
available flags. To get the same flag for log backend, replace `webhook` with `log` in the flag
name. By default, batching is enabled in `webhook` and disabled in `log`. Similarly, by default
throttling is enabled in `webhook` and disabled in `log`.
- `--audit-webhook-mode` defines the buffering strategy. One of the following:
- `batch` - buffer events and asynchronously process them in batches. This is the default.
- `blocking` - block API server responses on processing each individual event.
The following flags are used only in the `batch` mode.
- `--audit-webhook-batch-buffer-size` defines the number of events to buffer before batching.
If the rate of incoming events overflows the buffer, events are dropped.
- `--audit-webhook-batch-max-size` defines the maximum number of events in one batch.
- `--audit-webhook-batch-max-wait` defines the maximum amount of time to wait before unconditionally
batching events in the queue.
- `--audit-webhook-batch-throttle-qps` defines the maximum average number of batches generated
per second.
- `--audit-webhook-batch-throttle-burst` defines the maximum number of batches generated at the same
moment if the allowed QPS was underutilized previously.
#### Parameter tuning
Parameters should be set to accommodate the load on the apiserver.
For example, if kube-apiserver receives 100 requests each second, and each request is audited only
on `ResponseStarted` and `ResponseComplete` stages, you should account for ~200 audit
events being generated each second. Assuming that there are up to 100 events in a batch,
you should set throttling level at least 2 QPS. Assuming that the backend can take up to
5 seconds to write events, you should set the buffer size to hold up to 5 seconds of events, i.e.
10 batches, i.e. 1000 events.
In most cases however, the default parameters should be sufficient and you don't have to worry about
setting them manually. You can look at the following Prometheus metrics exposed by kube-apiserver
and in the logs to monitor the state of the auditing subsystem.
- `apiserver_audit_event_total` metric contains the total number of audit events exported.
- `apiserver_audit_error_total` metric contains the total number of events dropped due to an error
during exporting.
## Multi-cluster setup
If you're extending the Kubernetes API with the [aggregation layer][kube-aggregator], you can also
set up audit logging for the aggregated apiserver. To do this, pass the configuration options in the
same format as described above to the aggregated apiserver and set up the log ingesting pipeline
to pick up audit logs. Different apiservers can have different audit configurations and different
audit policies.
## Log Collector Examples
### Use fluentd to collect and distribute audit events from log file
[Fluentd][fluentd] is an open source data collector for unified logging layer.
In this example, we will use fluentd to split audit events by different namespaces.
1. install [fluentd, fluent-plugin-forest and fluent-plugin-rewrite-tag-filter][fluentd_install_doc] in the kube-apiserver node
1. create a config file for fluentd
```shell
$ cat <<EOF > /etc/fluentd/config
# fluentd conf runs in the same host with kube-apiserver
<source>
@type tail
# audit log path of kube-apiserver
path /var/log/audit
pos_file /var/log/audit.pos
format json
time_key time
time_format %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%N%z
tag audit
</source>
<filter audit>
#https://github.com/fluent/fluent-plugin-rewrite-tag-filter/issues/13
type record_transformer
enable_ruby
<record>
namespace ${record["objectRef"].nil? ? "none":(record["objectRef"]["namespace"].nil? ? "none":record["objectRef"]["namespace"])}
</record>
</filter>
<match audit>
# route audit according to namespace element in context
@type rewrite_tag_filter
rewriterule1 namespace ^(.+) ${tag}.$1
</match>
<filter audit.**>
@type record_transformer
remove_keys namespace
</filter>
<match audit.**>
@type forest
subtype file
remove_prefix audit
<template>
time_slice_format %Y%m%d%H
compress gz
path /var/log/audit-${tag}.*.log
format json
include_time_key true
</template>
</match>
```
1. start fluentd
```shell
$ fluentd -c /etc/fluentd/config -vv
```
1. start kube-apiserver with the following options:
```shell
--audit-policy-file=/etc/kubernetes/audit-policy.yaml --audit-log-path=/var/log/kube-audit --audit-log-format=json
```
1. check audits for different namespaces in /var/log/audit-*.log
### Use logstash to collect and distribute audit events from webhook backend
[Logstash][logstash] is an open source, server-side data processing tool. In this example,
we will use logstash to collect audit events from webhook backend, and save events of
different users into different files.
1. install [logstash][logstash_install_doc]
1. create config file for logstash
```shell
$ cat <<EOF > /etc/logstash/config
input{
http{
#TODO, figure out a way to use kubeconfig file to authenticate to logstash
#https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-http.html#plugins-inputs-http-ssl
port=>8888
}
}
filter{
split{
# Webhook audit backend sends several events together with EventList
# split each event here.
field=>[items]
# We only need event subelement, remove others.
remove_field=>[headers, metadata, apiVersion, "@timestamp", kind, "@version", host]
}
mutate{
rename => {items=>event}
}
}
output{
file{
# Audit events from different users will be saved into different files.
path=>"/var/log/kube-audit-%{[event][user][username]}/audit"
}
}
```
1. start logstash
```shell
$ bin/logstash -f /etc/logstash/config --path.settings /etc/logstash/
```
1. create a [kubeconfig file](/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/authenticate-across-clusters-kubeconfig/) for kube-apiserver webhook audit backend
```shell
$ cat <<EOF > /etc/kubernetes/audit-webhook-kubeconfig
apiVersion: v1
clusters:
- cluster:
server: http://<ip_of_logstash>:8888
name: logstash
contexts:
- context:
cluster: logstash
user: ""
name: default-context
current-context: default-context
kind: Config
preferences: {}
users: []
EOF
```
1. start kube-apiserver with the following options:
```shell
--audit-policy-file=/etc/kubernetes/audit-policy.yaml --audit-webhook-config-file=/etc/kubernetes/audit-webhook-kubeconfig
```
1. check audits in logstash node's directories /var/log/kube-audit-*/audit
Note that in addition to file output plugin, logstash has a variety of outputs that
let users route data where they want. For example, users can emit audit events to elasticsearch
plugin which supports full-text search and analytics.
## Legacy Audit
__Note:__ Legacy Audit is deprecated and is disabled by default since 1.8 and
will be removed in 1.12. To fallback to this legacy audit, disable the advanced
auditing feature using the `AdvancedAuditing` feature gate in [kube-apiserver][kube-apiserver]:
```
--feature-gates=AdvancedAuditing=false
```
In legacy format, each audit log entry contains two lines:
1. The request line containing a unique ID to match the response and request
metadata, such as the source IP, requesting user, impersonation information,
resource being requested, etc.
2. The response line containing a unique ID matching the request line and the response code.
Example output for `admin` user listing pods in the `default` namespace:
```
2017-03-21T03:57:09.106841886-04:00 AUDIT: id="c939d2a7-1c37-4ef1-b2f7-4ba9b1e43b53" ip="127.0.0.1" method="GET" user="admin" groups="\"system:masters\",\"system:authenticated\"" as="<self>" asgroups="<lookup>" namespace="default" uri="/api/v1/namespaces/default/pods"
2017-03-21T03:57:09.108403639-04:00 AUDIT: id="c939d2a7-1c37-4ef1-b2f7-4ba9b1e43b53" response="200"
```
### Configuration
[Kube-apiserver][kube-apiserver] provides the following options which are responsible
for configuring where and how audit logs are handled:
- `audit-log-path` - enables the audit log pointing to a file where the requests are being logged to, '-' means standard out.
- `audit-log-maxage` - specifies maximum number of days to retain old audit log files based on the timestamp encoded in their filename.
- `audit-log-maxbackup` - specifies maximum number of old audit log files to retain.
- `audit-log-maxsize` - specifies maximum size in megabytes of the audit log file before it gets rotated. Defaults to 100MB.
If an audit log file already exists, Kubernetes appends new audit logs to that file.
Otherwise, Kubernetes creates an audit log file at the location you specified in
`audit-log-path`. If the audit log file exceeds the size you specify in `audit-log-maxsize`,
Kubernetes will rename the current log file by appending the current timestamp on
the file name (before the file extension) and create a new audit log file.
Kubernetes may delete old log files when creating a new log file; you can configure
how many files are retained and how old they can be by specifying the `audit-log-maxbackup`
and `audit-log-maxage` options.

title: Core metrics pipeline
---
Starting from Kubernetes 1.8, resource usage metrics, such as container CPU and memory usage,
are available in Kubernetes through the Metrics API. These metrics can be either accessed directly
by user, for example by using `kubectl top` command, or used by a controller in the cluster, e.g.
Horizontal Pod Autoscaler, to make decisions.
## The Metrics API
Through the Metrics API you can get the amount of resource currently used
by a given node or a given pod. This API doesn't store the metric values,
so it's not possible for example to get the amount of resources used by a
given node 10 minutes ago.
The API is no different from any other API:
- it is discoverable through the same endpoint as the other Kubernetes APIs under `/apis/metrics.k8s.io/` path
- it offers the same security, scalability and reliability guarantees
The API is defined in [k8s.io/metrics](https://github.com/kubernetes/metrics/blob/master/pkg/apis/metrics/v1beta1/types.go)
repository. You can find more information about the API there.
**Note:** The API requires metrics server to be deployed in the cluster. Otherwise it will be not available.
## Metrics Server
[Metrics Server](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/metrics-server) is a cluster-wide aggregator of resource usage data.
Starting from Kubernetes 1.8 it's deployed by default in clusters created by `kube-up.sh` script
as a Deployment object. If you use a different Kubernetes setup mechanism you can deploy it using the provided
[deployment yamls](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/metrics-server/tree/master/deploy).
It's supported in Kubernetes 1.7+ (see details below).
Metric server collects metrics from the Summary API, exposed by [Kubelet](/docs/admin/kubelet/) on each node.
Metrics Server registered in the main API server through
[Kubernetes aggregator](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/api-extension/apiserver-aggregation/),
which was introduced in Kubernetes 1.7.
Learn more about the metrics server in [the design doc](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/design-proposals/instrumentation/metrics-server.md).

title: Application Introspection and Debugging
---
Once your application is running, you'll inevitably need to debug problems with it.
Earlier we described how you can use `kubectl get pods` to retrieve simple status information about
your pods. But there are a number of ways to get even more information about your application.
{{< toc >}}
## Using `kubectl describe pod` to fetch details about pods
For this example we'll use a Deployment to create two pods, similar to the earlier example.
{{< code file="nginx-dep.yaml" >}}
Create deployment by running following command:
```shell
$ kubectl create -f https://k8s.io/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/nginx-dep.yaml
deployment "nginx-deployment" created
```
```shell
$ kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
nginx-deployment-1006230814-6winp 1/1 Running 0 11s
nginx-deployment-1006230814-fmgu3 1/1 Running 0 11s
```
We can retrieve a lot more information about each of these pods using `kubectl describe pod`. For example:
```shell
$ kubectl describe pod nginx-deployment-1006230814-6winp
Name: nginx-deployment-1006230814-6winp

```
Here you can see configuration information about the container(s) and Pod (labels, resource requirements, etc.), as well as status information about the container(s) and Pod (state, readiness, restart count, events, etc.).
The container state is one of Waiting, Running, or Terminated. Depending on the state, additional information will be provided -- here you can see that for a container in Running state, the system tells you when the container started.
Ready tells you whether the container passed its last readiness probe. (In this case, the container does not have a readiness probe configured; the container is assumed to be ready if no readiness probe is configured.)
Restart Count tells you how many times the container has been restarted; this information can be useful for detecting crash loops in containers that are configured with a restart policy of 'always.'
Currently the only Condition associated with a Pod is the binary Ready condition, which indicates that the pod is able to service requests and should be added to the load balancing pools of all matching services.
Lastly, you see a log of recent events related to your Pod. The system compresses multiple identical events by indicating the first and last time it was seen and the number of times it was seen. "From" indicates the component that is logging the event, "SubobjectPath" tells you which object (e.g. container within the pod) is being referred to, and "Reason" and "Message" tell you what happened.
## Example: debugging Pending Pods
A common scenario that you can detect using events is when you've created a Pod that won't fit on any node. For example, the Pod might request more resources than are free on any node, or it might specify a label selector that doesn't match any nodes. Let's say we created the previous Deployment with 5 replicas (instead of 2) and requesting 600 millicores instead of 500, on a four-node cluster where each (virtual) machine has 1 CPU. In that case one of the Pods will not be able to schedule. (Note that because of the cluster addon pods such as fluentd, skydns, etc., that run on each node, if we requested 1000 millicores then none of the Pods would be able to schedule.)
```shell
$ kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
nginx-deployment-1006230814-6winp 1/1 Running 0 7m
nginx-deployment-1006230814-fmgu3 1/1 Running 0 7m
nginx-deployment-1370807587-6ekbw 1/1 Running 0 1m
nginx-deployment-1370807587-fg172 0/1 Pending 0 1m
nginx-deployment-1370807587-fz9sd 0/1 Pending 0 1m
```
To find out why the nginx-deployment-1370807587-fz9sd pod is not running, we can use `kubectl describe pod` on the pending Pod and look at its events:
```shell
$ kubectl describe pod nginx-deployment-1370807587-fz9sd

```
Here you can see the event generated by the scheduler saying that the Pod failed to schedule for reason `FailedScheduling` (and possibly others). The message tells us that there were not enough resources for the Pod on any of the nodes.
To correct this situation, you can use `kubectl scale` to update your Deployment to specify four or fewer replicas. (Or you could just leave the one Pod pending, which is harmless.)
Events such as the ones you saw at the end of `kubectl describe pod` are persisted in etcd and provide high-level information on what is happening in the cluster. To list all events you can use
```shell
kubectl get events
```
but you have to remember that events are namespaced. This means that if you're interested in events for some namespaced object (e.g. what happened with Pods in namespace `my-namespace`) you need to explicitly provide a namespace to the command:
```shell
kubectl get events --namespace=my-namespace
```
To see events from all namespaces, you can use the `--all-namespaces` argument.
In addition to `kubectl describe pod`, another way to get extra information about a pod (beyond what is provided by `kubectl get pod`) is to pass the `-o yaml` output format flag to `kubectl get pod`. This will give you, in YAML format, even more information than `kubectl describe pod`--essentially all of the information the system has about the Pod. Here you will see things like annotations (which are key-value metadata without the label restrictions, that is used internally by Kubernetes system components), restart policy, ports, and volumes.

## Example: debugging a down/unreachable node
Sometimes when debugging it can be useful to look at the status of a node -- for example, because you've noticed strange behavior of a Pod that's running on the node, or to find out why a Pod won't schedule onto the node. As with Pods, you can use `kubectl describe node` and `kubectl get node -o yaml` to retrieve detailed information about nodes. For example, here's what you'll see if a node is down (disconnected from the network, or kubelet dies and won't restart, etc.). Notice the events that show the node is NotReady, and also notice that the pods are no longer running (they are evicted after five minutes of NotReady status).
```shell
$ kubectl get nodes

title: Troubleshoot Applications
---
This guide is to help users debug applications that are deployed into Kubernetes and not behaving correctly.
This is *not* a guide for people who want to debug their cluster. For that you should check out
[this guide](/docs/admin/cluster-troubleshooting).
{{< toc >}}
## Diagnosing the problem
The first step in troubleshooting is triage. What is the problem? Is it your Pods, your Replication Controller or
your Service?
* [Debugging Pods](#debugging-pods)
* [Debugging Replication Controllers](#debugging-replication-controllers)
* [Debugging Services](#debugging-services)
### Debugging Pods
The first step in debugging a Pod is taking a look at it. Check the current state of the Pod and recent events with the following command:
```shell
$ kubectl describe pods ${POD_NAME}
```
Look at the state of the containers in the pod. Are they all `Running`? Have there been recent restarts?
Continue debugging depending on the state of the pods.
#### My pod stays pending
If a Pod is stuck in `Pending` it means that it can not be scheduled onto a node. Generally this is because
there are insufficient resources of one type or another that prevent scheduling. Look at the output of the
`kubectl describe ...` command above. There should be messages from the scheduler about why it can not schedule
your pod. Reasons include:
* **You don't have enough resources**: You may have exhausted the supply of CPU or Memory in your cluster, in this case
you need to delete Pods, adjust resource requests, or add new nodes to your cluster. See [Compute Resources document](/docs/user-guide/compute-resources/#my-pods-are-pending-with-event-message-failedscheduling) for more information.
* **You are using `hostPort`**: When you bind a Pod to a `hostPort` there are a limited number of places that pod can be
scheduled. In most cases, `hostPort` is unnecessary, try using a Service object to expose your Pod. If you do require
`hostPort` then you can only schedule as many Pods as there are nodes in your Kubernetes cluster.
#### My pod stays waiting
If a Pod is stuck in the `Waiting` state, then it has been scheduled to a worker node, but it can't run on that machine.
Again, the information from `kubectl describe ...` should be informative. The most common cause of `Waiting` pods is a failure to pull the image. There are three things to check:
* Make sure that you have the name of the image correct.
* Have you pushed the image to the repository?
* Run a manual `docker pull <image>` on your machine to see if the image can be pulled.
#### My pod is crashing or otherwise unhealthy
First, take a look at the logs of
the current container:
```shell
$ kubectl logs ${POD_NAME} ${CONTAINER_NAME}
```
If your container has previously crashed, you can access the previous container's crash log with:
```shell
$ kubectl logs --previous ${POD_NAME} ${CONTAINER_NAME}
```
Alternately, you can run commands inside that container with `exec`:
```shell
$ kubectl exec ${POD_NAME} -c ${CONTAINER_NAME} -- ${CMD} ${ARG1} ${ARG2} ... ${ARGN}
```
Note that `-c ${CONTAINER_NAME}` is optional and can be omitted for Pods that only contain a single container.
As an example, to look at the logs from a running Cassandra pod, you might run
```shell
$ kubectl exec cassandra -- cat /var/log/cassandra/system.log
```
If none of these approaches work, you can find the host machine that the pod is running on and SSH into that host,
but this should generally not be necessary given tools in the Kubernetes API. Therefore, if you find yourself needing to ssh into a machine, please file a
feature request on GitHub describing your use case and why these tools are insufficient.
#### My pod is running but not doing what I told it to do
If your pod is not behaving as you expected, it may be that there was an error in your
pod description (e.g. `mypod.yaml` file on your local machine), and that the error
was silently ignored when you created the pod. Often a section of the pod description
is nested incorrectly, or a key name is typed incorrectly, and so the key is ignored.
For example, if you misspelled `command` as `commnd` then the pod will be created but
will not use the command line you intended it to use.
The first thing to do is to delete your pod and try creating it again with the `--validate` option.
For example, run `kubectl create --validate -f mypod.yaml`.
If you misspelled `command` as `commnd` then will give an error like this:
```shell
I0805 10:43:25.129850 46757 schema.go:126] unknown field: commnd
I0805 10:43:25.129973 46757 schema.go:129] this may be a false alarm, see https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/6842
pods/mypod
```
<!-- TODO: Now that #11914 is merged, this advice may need to be updated -->
The next thing to check is whether the pod on the apiserver
matches the pod you meant to create (e.g. in a yaml file on your local machine).
For example, run `kubectl get pods/mypod -o yaml > mypod-on-apiserver.yaml` and then
manually compare the original pod description, `mypod.yaml` with the one you got
back from apiserver, `mypod-on-apiserver.yaml`. There will typically be some
lines on the "apiserver" version that are not on the original version. This is
expected. However, if there are lines on the original that are not on the apiserver
version, then this may indicate a problem with your pod spec.
### Debugging Replication Controllers
Replication controllers are fairly straightforward. They can either create Pods or they can't. If they can't
create pods, then please refer to the [instructions above](#debugging-pods) to debug your pods.
You can also use `kubectl describe rc ${CONTROLLER_NAME}` to introspect events related to the replication
controller.
### Debugging Services
Services provide load balancing across a set of pods. There are several common problems that can make Services
not work properly. The following instructions should help debug Service problems.
First, verify that there are endpoints for the service. For every Service object, the apiserver makes an `endpoints` resource available.
You can view this resource with:
```shell
$ kubectl get endpoints ${SERVICE_NAME}
```
Make sure that the endpoints match up with the number of containers that you expect to be a member of your service.
For example, if your Service is for an nginx container with 3 replicas, you would expect to see three different
IP addresses in the Service's endpoints.
#### My service is missing endpoints
If you are missing endpoints, try listing pods using the labels that Service uses. Imagine that you have
a Service where the labels are:
```yaml
...
spec:
- selector:
name: nginx
type: frontend
```
You can use:
```shell
$ kubectl get pods --selector=name=nginx,type=frontend
```
to list pods that match this selector. Verify that the list matches the Pods that you expect to provide your Service.
If the list of pods matches expectations, but your endpoints are still empty, it's possible that you don't
have the right ports exposed. If your service has a `containerPort` specified, but the Pods that are
selected don't have that port listed, then they won't be added to the endpoints list.
Verify that the pod's `containerPort` matches up with the Service's `containerPort`
#### Network traffic is not forwarded
If you can connect to the service, but the connection is immediately dropped, and there are endpoints
in the endpoints list, it's likely that the proxy can't contact your pods.
There are three things to
check:
* Are your pods working correctly? Look for restart count, and [debug pods](#debugging-pods).
* Can you connect to your pods directly? Get the IP address for the Pod, and try to connect directly to that IP.
* Is your application serving on the port that you configured? Kubernetes doesn't do port remapping, so if your application serves on 8080, the `containerPort` field needs to be 8080.
#### More information
If none of the above solves your problem, follow the instructions in [Debugging Service document](/docs/user-guide/debugging-services) to make sure that your `Service` is running, has `Endpoints`, and your `Pods` are actually serving; you have DNS working, iptables rules installed, and kube-proxy does not seem to be misbehaving.

title: Troubleshoot Clusters
---
This doc is about cluster troubleshooting; we assume you have already ruled out your application as the root cause of the
problem you are experiencing. See
the [application troubleshooting guide](/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/debug-application) for tips on application debugging.
You may also visit [troubleshooting document](/docs/troubleshooting/) for more information.
## Listing your cluster
The first thing to debug in your cluster is if your nodes are all registered correctly.
Run
```shell
kubectl get nodes
```
And verify that all of the nodes you expect to see are present and that they are all in the `Ready` state.
## Looking at logs
For now, digging deeper into the cluster requires logging into the relevant machines. Here are the locations
of the relevant log files. (note that on systemd-based systems, you may need to use `journalctl` instead)
### Master
* /var/log/kube-apiserver.log - API Server, responsible for serving the API
* /var/log/kube-scheduler.log - Scheduler, responsible for making scheduling decisions
* /var/log/kube-controller-manager.log - Controller that manages replication controllers
### Worker Nodes
* /var/log/kubelet.log - Kubelet, responsible for running containers on the node
* /var/log/kube-proxy.log - Kube Proxy, responsible for service load balancing
## A general overview of cluster failure modes
This is an incomplete list of things that could go wrong, and how to adjust your cluster setup to mitigate the problems.
Root causes:
- VM(s) shutdown
- Network partition within cluster, or between cluster and users
- Crashes in Kubernetes software
- Data loss or unavailability of persistent storage (e.g. GCE PD or AWS EBS volume)
- Operator error, e.g. misconfigured Kubernetes software or application software
Specific scenarios:
- Apiserver VM shutdown or apiserver crashing
- Results
- unable to stop, update, or start new pods, services, replication controller
- existing pods and services should continue to work normally, unless they depend on the Kubernetes API
- Apiserver backing storage lost
- Results
- apiserver should fail to come up
- kubelets will not be able to reach it but will continue to run the same pods and provide the same service proxying
- manual recovery or recreation of apiserver state necessary before apiserver is restarted
- Supporting services (node controller, replication controller manager, scheduler, etc) VM shutdown or crashes
- currently those are colocated with the apiserver, and their unavailability has similar consequences as apiserver
- in future, these will be replicated as well and may not be co-located
- they do not have their own persistent state
- Individual node (VM or physical machine) shuts down
- Results
- pods on that Node stop running
- Network partition
- Results
- partition A thinks the nodes in partition B are down; partition B thinks the apiserver is down. (Assuming the master VM ends up in partition A.)
- Kubelet software fault
- Results
- crashing kubelet cannot start new pods on the node
- kubelet might delete the pods or not
- node marked unhealthy
- replication controllers start new pods elsewhere
- Cluster operator error
- Results
- loss of pods, services, etc
- lost of apiserver backing store
- users unable to read API
- etc.
Mitigations:
- Action: Use IaaS provider's automatic VM restarting feature for IaaS VMs
- Mitigates: Apiserver VM shutdown or apiserver crashing
- Mitigates: Supporting services VM shutdown or crashes
- Action: Use IaaS providers reliable storage (e.g. GCE PD or AWS EBS volume) for VMs with apiserver+etcd
- Mitigates: Apiserver backing storage lost
- Action: Use (experimental) [high-availability](/docs/admin/high-availability) configuration
- Mitigates: Master VM shutdown or master components (scheduler, API server, controller-managing) crashing
- Will tolerate one or more simultaneous node or component failures
- Mitigates: Apiserver backing storage (i.e., etcd's data directory) lost
- Assuming you used clustered etcd.
- Action: Snapshot apiserver PDs/EBS-volumes periodically
- Mitigates: Apiserver backing storage lost
- Mitigates: Some cases of operator error
- Mitigates: Some cases of Kubernetes software fault
- Action: use replication controller and services in front of pods
- Mitigates: Node shutdown
- Mitigates: Kubelet software fault
- Action: applications (containers) designed to tolerate unexpected restarts
- Mitigates: Node shutdown
- Mitigates: Kubelet software fault
- Action: [Multiple independent clusters](/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/federation/) (and avoid making risky changes to all clusters at once)
- Mitigates: Everything listed above.

## Checking the status of Init Containers
Display the status of your pod:
```shell
kubectl get pod <pod-name>
```
For example, a status of `Init:1/2` indicates that one of two Init Containers
has completed successfully:
```
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
<pod-name> 0/1 Init:1/2 0 7s
```
See [Understanding Pod status](#understanding-pod-status) for more examples of
status values and their meanings.
## Getting details about Init Containers
View more detailed information about Init Container execution:
```shell
kubectl describe pod <pod-name>
```
For example, a Pod with two Init Containers might show the following:
```
Init Containers:
<init-container-1>:
Container ID: ...
...
State: Terminated
Reason: Completed
Exit Code: 0
Started: ...
Finished: ...
Ready: True
Restart Count: 0
...
<init-container-2>:
Container ID: ...
...
State: Waiting
Reason: CrashLoopBackOff
Last State: Terminated
Reason: Error
Exit Code: 1
Started: ...
Finished: ...
Ready: False
Restart Count: 3
...
```
You can also access the Init Container statuses programmatically by reading the
`status.initContainerStatuses` field on the Pod Spec:
```shell
kubectl get pod nginx --template '{{.status.initContainerStatuses}}'
```
This command will return the same information as above in raw JSON.
## Accessing logs from Init Containers
Pass the Init Container name along with the Pod name
to access its logs.
```shell
kubectl logs <pod-name> -c <init-container-2>
```
Init Containers that run a shell script print
commands as they're executed. For example, you can do this in Bash by running
`set -x` at the beginning of the script.

## Understanding Pod status
A Pod status beginning with `Init:` summarizes the status of Init Container
execution. The table below describes some example status values that you might
see while debugging Init Containers.
Status | Meaning
------ | -------
`Init:N/M` | The Pod has `M` Init Containers, and `N` have completed so far.
`Init:Error` | An Init Container has failed to execute.
`Init:CrashLoopBackOff` | An Init Container has failed repeatedly.
`Pending` | The Pod has not yet begun executing Init Containers.
`PodInitializing` or `Running` | The Pod has already finished executing Init Containers.

## Debugging pods
The first step in debugging a pod is taking a look at it. Check the current
state of the pod and recent events with the following command:
$ kubectl describe pods ${POD_NAME}
Look at the state of the containers in the pod. Are they all `Running`? Have
there been recent restarts?
Continue debugging depending on the state of the pods.
### My pod stays pending
If a pod is stuck in `Pending` it means that it can not be scheduled onto a
node. Generally this is because there are insufficient resources of one type or
another that prevent scheduling. Look at the output of the `kubectl describe
...` command above. There should be messages from the scheduler about why it
can not schedule your pod. Reasons include:
#### Insufficient resources
You may have exhausted the supply of CPU or Memory in your cluster. In this
case you can try several things:
* [Add more nodes](/docs/admin/cluster-management/#resizing-a-cluster) to the cluster.
* [Terminate unneeded pods](/docs/user-guide/pods/single-container/#deleting_a_pod)
to make room for pending pods.
* Check that the pod is not larger than your nodes. For example, if all
nodes have a capacity of `cpu:1`, then a pod with a request of `cpu: 1.1`
will never be scheduled.
You can check node capacities with the `kubectl get nodes -o <format>`
command. Here are some example command lines that extract just the necessary
information:
kubectl get nodes -o yaml | grep '\sname\|cpu\|memory'
kubectl get nodes -o json | jq '.items[] | {name: .metadata.name, cap: .status.capacity}'
The [resource quota](/docs/concepts/policy/resource-quotas/)
feature can be configured to limit the total amount of
resources that can be consumed. If used in conjunction with namespaces, it can
prevent one team from hogging all the resources.
#### Using hostPort
When you bind a pod to a `hostPort` there are a limited number of places that
the pod can be scheduled. In most cases, `hostPort` is unnecessary; try using a
service object to expose your pod. If you do require `hostPort` then you can
only schedule as many pods as there are nodes in your container cluster.
### My pod stays waiting
If a pod is stuck in the `Waiting` state, then it has been scheduled to a
worker node, but it can't run on that machine. Again, the information from
`kubectl describe ...` should be informative. The most common cause of
`Waiting` pods is a failure to pull the image. There are three things to check:
* Make sure that you have the name of the image correct.
* Have you pushed the image to the repository?
* Run a manual `docker pull <image>` on your machine to see if the image can be
pulled.
### My pod is crashing or otherwise unhealthy
First, take a look at the logs of the current container:
$ kubectl logs ${POD_NAME} ${CONTAINER_NAME}
If your container has previously crashed, you can access the previous
container's crash log with:
$ kubectl logs --previous ${POD_NAME} ${CONTAINER_NAME}
Alternately, you can run commands inside that container with `exec`:
$ kubectl exec ${POD_NAME} -c ${CONTAINER_NAME} -- ${CMD} ${ARG1} ${ARG2} ... ${ARGN}
Note that `-c ${CONTAINER_NAME}` is optional and can be omitted for pods that
only contain a single container.
As an example, to look at the logs from a running Cassandra pod, you might run:
$ kubectl exec cassandra -- cat /var/log/cassandra/system.log
If none of these approaches work, you can find the host machine that the pod is
running on and SSH into that host.
## Debugging Replication Controllers
Replication controllers are fairly straightforward. They can either create pods
or they can't. If they can't create pods, then please refer to the
[instructions above](#debugging_pods) to debug your pods.
You can also use `kubectl describe rc ${CONTROLLER_NAME}` to inspect events
related to the replication controller.

title: Debug Services

An issue that comes up rather frequently for new installations of Kubernetes is
that a `Service` is not working properly. You've run your `Deployment` and
created a `Service`, but you get no response when you try to access it.
This document will hopefully help you to figure out what's going wrong.
{{< toc >}}
## Conventions
Throughout this doc you will see various commands that you can run. Some
commands need to be run within a `Pod`, others on a Kubernetes `Node`, and others
can run anywhere you have `kubectl` and credentials for the cluster. To make it
clear what is expected, this document will use the following conventions.
If the command "COMMAND" is expected to run in a `Pod` and produce "OUTPUT":
```shell
u@pod$ COMMAND
OUTPUT
```
If the command "COMMAND" is expected to run on a `Node` and produce "OUTPUT":
```shell
u@node$ COMMAND
OUTPUT
```
If the command is "kubectl ARGS":
```shell
$ kubectl ARGS
OUTPUT
```
## Running commands in a Pod
For many steps here you will want to see what a `Pod` running in the cluster
sees. The simplest way to do this is to run an interactive busybox `Pod`:
```shell
$ kubectl run -it --rm --restart=Never busybox --image=busybox sh
If you don't see a command prompt, try pressing enter.
/ #
```
If you already have a running `Pod` that you prefer to use, you can run a
command in it using:
```shell
$ kubectl exec <POD-NAME> -c <CONTAINER-NAME> -- <COMMAND>
```
## Setup
For the purposes of this walk-through, let's run some `Pods`. Since you're
probably debugging your own `Service` you can substitute your own details, or you
can follow along and get a second data point.
```shell
$ kubectl run hostnames --image=k8s.gcr.io/serve_hostname \
--labels=app=hostnames \
--port=9376 \
--replicas=3
deployment "hostnames" created
```
`kubectl` commands will print the type and name of the resource created or mutated, which can then be used in subsequent commands.
Note that this is the same as if you had started the `Deployment` with
the following YAML:
```yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: hostnames
spec:
selector:
matchLabels:
app: hostnames
replicas: 3
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: hostnames
spec:
containers:
- name: hostnames
image: k8s.gcr.io/serve_hostname
ports:
- containerPort: 9376
protocol: TCP
```
Confirm your `Pods` are running:
```shell
$ kubectl get pods -l app=hostnames
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
hostnames-632524106-bbpiw 1/1 Running 0 2m
hostnames-632524106-ly40y 1/1 Running 0 2m
hostnames-632524106-tlaok 1/1 Running 0 2m
```
## Does the Service exist?
The astute reader will have noticed that we did not actually create a `Service`
yet - that is intentional. This is a step that sometimes gets forgotten, and
is the first thing to check.
So what would happen if I tried to access a non-existent `Service`? Assuming you
have another `Pod` that consumes this `Service` by name you would get something
like:
```shell
u@pod$ wget -qO- hostnames
wget: bad address 'hostname'
```
So the first thing to check is whether that `Service` actually exists:
```shell
$ kubectl get svc hostnames
Error from server (NotFound): services "hostnames" not found
```
So we have a culprit, let's create the `Service`. As before, this is for the
walk-through - you can use your own `Service`'s details here.
```shell
$ kubectl expose deployment hostnames --port=80 --target-port=9376
service "hostnames" exposed
```
And read it back, just to be sure:
```shell
$ kubectl get svc hostnames
NAME CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
hostnames 10.0.1.175 <none> 80/TCP 5s
```
As before, this is the same as if you had started the `Service` with YAML:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: hostnames
spec:
selector:
app: hostnames
ports:
- name: default
protocol: TCP
port: 80
targetPort: 9376
```
Now you can confirm that the `Service` exists.
## Does the Service work by DNS?
From a `Pod` in the same `Namespace`:
```shell
u@pod$ nslookup hostnames
Address 1: 10.0.0.10 kube-dns.kube-system.svc.cluster.local
Name: hostnames
Address 1: 10.0.1.175 hostnames.default.svc.cluster.local
```
If this fails, perhaps your `Pod` and `Service` are in different
`Namespaces`, try a namespace-qualified name:
```shell
u@pod$ nslookup hostnames.default
Address 1: 10.0.0.10 kube-dns.kube-system.svc.cluster.local
Name: hostnames.default
Address 1: 10.0.1.175 hostnames.default.svc.cluster.local
```
If this works, you'll need to adjust your app to use a cross-namespace name, or
run your app and `Service` in the same `Namespace`. If this still fails, try a
fully-qualified name:
```shell
u@pod$ nslookup hostnames.default.svc.cluster.local
Address 1: 10.0.0.10 kube-dns.kube-system.svc.cluster.local
Name: hostnames.default.svc.cluster.local
Address 1: 10.0.1.175 hostnames.default.svc.cluster.local
```
Note the suffix here: "default.svc.cluster.local". The "default" is the
`Namespace` we're operating in. The "svc" denotes that this is a `Service`.
The "cluster.local" is your cluster domain, which COULD be different in your
own cluster.
You can also try this from a `Node` in the cluster (note: 10.0.0.10 is my DNS
`Service`, yours might be different):
```shell
u@node$ nslookup hostnames.default.svc.cluster.local 10.0.0.10
Server: 10.0.0.10
Address: 10.0.0.10#53
Name: hostnames.default.svc.cluster.local
Address: 10.0.1.175
```
If you are able to do a fully-qualified name lookup but not a relative one, you
need to check that your `/etc/resolv.conf` file is correct.
```shell
u@pod$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 10.0.0.10
search default.svc.cluster.local svc.cluster.local cluster.local example.com
options ndots:5
```
The `nameserver` line must indicate your cluster's DNS `Service`. This is
passed into `kubelet` with the `--cluster-dns` flag.
The `search` line must include an appropriate suffix for you to find the
`Service` name. In this case it is looking for `Services` in the local
`Namespace` (`default.svc.cluster.local`), `Services` in all `Namespaces`
(`svc.cluster.local`), and the cluster (`cluster.local`). Depending on your own
install you might have additional records after that (up to 6 total). The
cluster suffix is passed into `kubelet` with the `--cluster-domain` flag. We
assume that is "cluster.local" in this document, but yours might be different,
in which case you should change that in all of the commands above.
The `options` line must set `ndots` high enough that your DNS client library
considers search paths at all. Kubernetes sets this to 5 by default, which is
high enough to cover all of the DNS names it generates.
### Does any Service exist in DNS?
If the above still fails - DNS lookups are not working for your `Service` - we
can take a step back and see what else is not working. The Kubernetes master
`Service` should always work:
```shell
u@pod$ nslookup kubernetes.default
Server: 10.0.0.10
Address 1: 10.0.0.10 kube-dns.kube-system.svc.cluster.local
Name: kubernetes.default
Address 1: 10.0.0.1 kubernetes.default.svc.cluster.local
```
If this fails, you might need to go to the kube-proxy section of this doc, or
even go back to the top of this document and start over, but instead of
debugging your own `Service`, debug DNS.
## Does the Service work by IP?
Assuming we can confirm that DNS works, the next thing to test is whether your
`Service` works at all. From a node in your cluster, access the `Service`'s
IP (from `kubectl get` above).
```shell
u@node$ curl 10.0.1.175:80
hostnames-0uton
u@node$ curl 10.0.1.175:80
hostnames-yp2kp
u@node$ curl 10.0.1.175:80
hostnames-bvc05
```
If your `Service` is working, you should get correct responses. If not, there
are a number of things that could be going wrong. Read on.
## Is the Service correct?
It might sound silly, but you should really double and triple check that your
`Service` is correct and matches your `Pod`'s port. Read back your `Service`
and verify it:
```shell
$ kubectl get service hostnames -o json
{
"kind": "Service",
"apiVersion": "v1",
"metadata": {
"name": "hostnames",
"namespace": "default",
"selfLink": "/api/v1/namespaces/default/services/hostnames",
"uid": "428c8b6c-24bc-11e5-936d-42010af0a9bc",
"resourceVersion": "347189",
"creationTimestamp": "2015-07-07T15:24:29Z",
"labels": {
"app": "hostnames"
}
},
"spec": {
"ports": [
{
"name": "default",
"protocol": "TCP",
"port": 80,
"targetPort": 9376,
"nodePort": 0
}
],
"selector": {
"app": "hostnames"
},
"clusterIP": "10.0.1.175",
"type": "ClusterIP",
"sessionAffinity": "None"
},
"status": {
"loadBalancer": {}
}
}
```
Is the port you are trying to access in `spec.ports[]`? Is the `targetPort`
correct for your `Pods` (many `Pods` choose to use a different port than the
`Service`)? If you meant it to be a numeric port, is it a number (9376) or a
string "9376"? If you meant it to be a named port, do your `Pods` expose a port
with the same name? Is the port's `protocol` the same as the `Pod`'s?
## Does the Service have any Endpoints?
If you got this far, we assume that you have confirmed that your `Service`
exists and is resolved by DNS. Now let's check that the `Pods` you ran are
actually being selected by the `Service`.
Earlier we saw that the `Pods` were running. We can re-check that:
```shell
$ kubectl get pods -l app=hostnames
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
hostnames-0uton 1/1 Running 0 1h
hostnames-bvc05 1/1 Running 0 1h
hostnames-yp2kp 1/1 Running 0 1h
```
The "AGE" column says that these `Pods` are about an hour old, which implies that
they are running fine and not crashing.
The `-l app=hostnames` argument is a label selector - just like our `Service`
has. Inside the Kubernetes system is a control loop which evaluates the
selector of every `Service` and saves the results into an `Endpoints` object.
```shell
$ kubectl get endpoints hostnames
NAME ENDPOINTS
hostnames 10.244.0.5:9376,10.244.0.6:9376,10.244.0.7:9376
```
This confirms that the endpoints controller has found the correct `Pods` for
your `Service`. If the `hostnames` row is blank, you should check that the
`spec.selector` field of your `Service` actually selects for `metadata.labels`
values on your `Pods`. A common mistake is to have a typo or other error, such
as the `Service` selecting for `run=hostnames`, but the `Deployment` specifying
`app=hostnames`.
## Are the Pods working?
At this point, we know that your `Service` exists and has selected your `Pods`.
Let's check that the `Pods` are actually working - we can bypass the `Service`
mechanism and go straight to the `Pods`. Note that these commands use the `Pod`
port (9376), rather than the `Service` port (80).
```shell
u@pod$ wget -qO- 10.244.0.5:9376
hostnames-0uton
pod $ wget -qO- 10.244.0.6:9376
hostnames-bvc05
u@pod$ wget -qO- 10.244.0.7:9376
hostnames-yp2kp
```
We expect each `Pod` in the `Endpoints` list to return its own hostname. If
this is not what happens (or whatever the correct behavior is for your own
`Pods`), you should investigate what's happening there. You might find
`kubectl logs` to be useful or `kubectl exec` directly to your `Pods` and check
service from there.
Another thing to check is that your `Pods` are not crashing or being restarted.
Frequent restarts could lead to intermittent connectivity issues.
```shell
$ kubectl get pods -l app=hostnames
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
hostnames-632524106-bbpiw 1/1 Running 0 2m
hostnames-632524106-ly40y 1/1 Running 0 2m
hostnames-632524106-tlaok 1/1 Running 0 2m
```
If the restart count is high, read more about how to [debug
pods](/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/debug-pod-replication-controller/#debugging-pods).
## Is the kube-proxy working?
If you get here, your `Service` is running, has `Endpoints`, and your `Pods`
are actually serving. At this point, the whole `Service` proxy mechanism is
suspect. Let's confirm it, piece by piece.
### Is kube-proxy running?
Confirm that `kube-proxy` is running on your `Nodes`. You should get something
like the below:
```shell
u@node$ ps auxw | grep kube-proxy
root 4194 0.4 0.1 101864 17696 ? Sl Jul04 25:43 /usr/local/bin/kube-proxy --master=https://kubernetes-master --kubeconfig=/var/lib/kube-proxy/kubeconfig --v=2
```
Next, confirm that it is not failing something obvious, like contacting the
master. To do this, you'll have to look at the logs. Accessing the logs
depends on your `Node` OS. On some OSes it is a file, such as
/var/log/kube-proxy.log, while other OSes use `journalctl` to access logs. You
should see something like:
```shell
I1027 22:14:53.995134 5063 server.go:200] Running in resource-only container "/kube-proxy"
I1027 22:14:53.998163 5063 server.go:247] Using iptables Proxier.
I1027 22:14:53.999055 5063 server.go:255] Tearing down userspace rules. Errors here are acceptable.
I1027 22:14:54.038140 5063 proxier.go:352] Setting endpoints for "kube-system/kube-dns:dns-tcp" to [10.244.1.3:53]
I1027 22:14:54.038164 5063 proxier.go:352] Setting endpoints for "kube-system/kube-dns:dns" to [10.244.1.3:53]
I1027 22:14:54.038209 5063 proxier.go:352] Setting endpoints for "default/kubernetes:https" to [10.240.0.2:443]
I1027 22:14:54.038238 5063 proxier.go:429] Not syncing iptables until Services and Endpoints have been received from master
I1027 22:14:54.040048 5063 proxier.go:294] Adding new service "default/kubernetes:https" at 10.0.0.1:443/TCP
I1027 22:14:54.040154 5063 proxier.go:294] Adding new service "kube-system/kube-dns:dns" at 10.0.0.10:53/UDP
I1027 22:14:54.040223 5063 proxier.go:294] Adding new service "kube-system/kube-dns:dns-tcp" at 10.0.0.10:53/TCP
```
If you see error messages about not being able to contact the master, you
should double-check your `Node` configuration and installation steps.
One of the possible reasons that `kube-proxy` cannot run correctly is that the
required `conntrack` binary cannot be found. This may happen on some Linux
systems, depending on how you are installing the cluster, for example, you are
installing Kubernetes from scratch. If this is the case, you need to manually
install the `conntrack` package (e.g. `sudo apt install conntrack` on Ubuntu)
and then retry.
### Is kube-proxy writing iptables rules?
One of the main responsibilities of `kube-proxy` is to write the `iptables`
rules which implement `Services`. Let's check that those rules are getting
written.
The kube-proxy can run in either "userspace" mode or "iptables" mode.
Hopefully you are using the newer, faster, more stable "iptables" mode. You
should see one of the following cases.
#### Userspace
```shell
u@node$ iptables-save | grep hostnames
-A KUBE-PORTALS-CONTAINER -d 10.0.1.175/32 -p tcp -m comment --comment "default/hostnames:default" -m tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 48577
-A KUBE-PORTALS-HOST -d 10.0.1.175/32 -p tcp -m comment --comment "default/hostnames:default" -m tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.240.115.247:48577
```
There should be 2 rules for each port on your `Service` (just one in this
example) - a "KUBE-PORTALS-CONTAINER" and a "KUBE-PORTALS-HOST". If you do
not see these, try restarting `kube-proxy` with the `-V` flag set to 4, and
then look at the logs again.
Almost nobody should be using the "userspace" mode any more, so we won't spend
more time on it here.
#### Iptables
```shell
u@node$ iptables-save | grep hostnames
-A KUBE-SEP-57KPRZ3JQVENLNBR -s 10.244.3.6/32 -m comment --comment "default/hostnames:" -j MARK --set-xmark 0x00004000/0x00004000
-A KUBE-SEP-57KPRZ3JQVENLNBR -p tcp -m comment --comment "default/hostnames:" -m tcp -j DNAT --to-destination 10.244.3.6:9376
-A KUBE-SEP-WNBA2IHDGP2BOBGZ -s 10.244.1.7/32 -m comment --comment "default/hostnames:" -j MARK --set-xmark 0x00004000/0x00004000
-A KUBE-SEP-WNBA2IHDGP2BOBGZ -p tcp -m comment --comment "default/hostnames:" -m tcp -j DNAT --to-destination 10.244.1.7:9376
-A KUBE-SEP-X3P2623AGDH6CDF3 -s 10.244.2.3/32 -m comment --comment "default/hostnames:" -j MARK --set-xmark 0x00004000/0x00004000
-A KUBE-SEP-X3P2623AGDH6CDF3 -p tcp -m comment --comment "default/hostnames:" -m tcp -j DNAT --to-destination 10.244.2.3:9376
-A KUBE-SERVICES -d 10.0.1.175/32 -p tcp -m comment --comment "default/hostnames: cluster IP" -m tcp --dport 80 -j KUBE-SVC-NWV5X2332I4OT4T3
-A KUBE-SVC-NWV5X2332I4OT4T3 -m comment --comment "default/hostnames:" -m statistic --mode random --probability 0.33332999982 -j KUBE-SEP-WNBA2IHDGP2BOBGZ
-A KUBE-SVC-NWV5X2332I4OT4T3 -m comment --comment "default/hostnames:" -m statistic --mode random --probability 0.50000000000 -j KUBE-SEP-X3P2623AGDH6CDF3
-A KUBE-SVC-NWV5X2332I4OT4T3 -m comment --comment "default/hostnames:" -j KUBE-SEP-57KPRZ3JQVENLNBR
```
There should be 1 rule in `KUBE-SERVICES`, 1 or 2 rules per endpoint in
`KUBE-SVC-(hash)` (depending on `SessionAffinity`), one `KUBE-SEP-(hash)` chain
per endpoint, and a few rules in each `KUBE-SEP-(hash)` chain. The exact rules
will vary based on your exact config (including node-ports and load-balancers).
### Is kube-proxy proxying?
Assuming you do see the above rules, try again to access your `Service` by IP:
```shell
u@node$ curl 10.0.1.175:80
hostnames-0uton
```
If this fails and you are using the userspace proxy, you can try accessing the
proxy directly. If you are using the iptables proxy, skip this section.
Look back at the `iptables-save` output above, and extract the
port number that `kube-proxy` is using for your `Service`. In the above
examples it is "48577". Now connect to that:
```shell
u@node$ curl localhost:48577
hostnames-yp2kp
```
If this still fails, look at the `kube-proxy` logs for specific lines like:
```shell
Setting endpoints for default/hostnames:default to [10.244.0.5:9376 10.244.0.6:9376 10.244.0.7:9376]
```
If you don't see those, try restarting `kube-proxy` with the `-V` flag set to 4, and
then look at the logs again.
### A Pod cannot reach itself via Service IP
This can happen when the network is not properly configured for "hairpin"
traffic, usually when `kube-proxy` is running in `iptables` mode and Pods
are connected with bridge network. The `Kubelet` exposes a `hairpin-mode`
[flag](/docs/admin/kubelet/) that allows endpoints of a Service to loadbalance back to themselves
if they try to access their own Service VIP. The `hairpin-mode` flag must either be
set to `hairpin-veth` or `promiscuous-bridge`.
The common steps to trouble shoot this are as follows:
* Confirm `hairpin-mode` is set to `hairpin-veth` or `promiscuous-bridge`.
You should see something like the below. `hairpin-mode` is set to
`promiscuous-bridge` in the following example.
```shell
u@node$ ps auxw|grep kubelet
root 3392 1.1 0.8 186804 65208 ? Sl 00:51 11:11 /usr/local/bin/kubelet --enable-debugging-handlers=true --config=/etc/kubernetes/manifests --allow-privileged=True --v=4 --cluster-dns=10.0.0.10 --cluster-domain=cluster.local --configure-cbr0=true --cgroup-root=/ --system-cgroups=/system --hairpin-mode=promiscuous-bridge --runtime-cgroups=/docker-daemon --kubelet-cgroups=/kubelet --babysit-daemons=true --max-pods=110 --serialize-image-pulls=false --outofdisk-transition-frequency=0
```
* Confirm the effective `hairpin-mode`. To do this, you'll have to look at
kubelet log. Accessing the logs depends on your Node OS. On some OSes it
is a file, such as /var/log/kubelet.log, while other OSes use `journalctl`
to access logs. Please be noted that the effective hairpin mode may not
match `--hairpin-mode` flag due to compatibility. Check if there is any log
lines with key word `hairpin` in kubelet.log. There should be log lines
indicating the effective hairpin mode, like something below.
```shell
I0629 00:51:43.648698 3252 kubelet.go:380] Hairpin mode set to "promiscuous-bridge"
```
* If the effective hairpin mode is `hairpin-veth`, ensure the `Kubelet` has
the permission to operate in `/sys` on node. If everything works properly,
you should see something like:
```shell
u@node$ for intf in /sys/devices/virtual/net/cbr0/brif/*; do cat $intf/hairpin_mode; done
1
1
1
1
```
* If the effective hairpin mode is `promiscuous-bridge`, ensure `Kubelet`
has the permission to manipulate linux bridge on node. If cbr0` bridge is
used and configured properly, you should see:
```shell
u@node$ ifconfig cbr0 |grep PROMISC
UP BROADCAST RUNNING PROMISC MULTICAST MTU:1460 Metric:1
```
* Seek help if none of above works out.
## Seek help
If you get this far, something very strange is happening. Your `Service` is
running, has `Endpoints`, and your `Pods` are actually serving. You have DNS
working, `iptables` rules installed, and `kube-proxy` does not seem to be
misbehaving. And yet your `Service` is not working. You should probably let

title: Debug a StatefulSet
content_template: templates/task
---
{{% capture overview %}}
This task shows you how to debug a StatefulSet.
{{% /capture %}}
{{% capture prerequisites %}}
* You need to have a Kubernetes cluster, and the kubectl command-line tool must be configured to communicate with your cluster.
* You should have a StatefulSet running that you want to investigate.
{{% /capture %}}
{{% capture steps %}}
## Debugging a StatefulSet
In order to list all the pods which belong to a StatefulSet, which have a label `app=myapp` set on them,
you can use the following:
```shell
kubectl get pods -l app=myapp
```
If you find that any Pods listed are in `Unknown` or `Terminating` state for an extended period of time,
refer to the [Deleting StatefulSet Pods](/docs/tasks/manage-stateful-set/delete-pods/) task for
instructions on how to deal with them.
You can debug individual Pods in a StatefulSet using the
[Debugging Pods](/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/debug-pod-replication-controller/) guide.

title: Determine the Reason for Pod Failure
content_template: templates/task
---
{{% capture overview %}}
This page shows how to write and read a Container
termination message.
Termination messages provide a way for containers to write
information about fatal events to a location where it can
be easily retrieved and surfaced by tools like dashboards
and monitoring software. In most cases, information that you
put in a termination message should also be written to
the general
[Kubernetes logs](/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/logging/).

{{% capture steps %}}
## Writing and reading a termination message
In this exercise, you create a Pod that runs one container.
The configuration file specifies a command that runs when
the container starts.
{{< code file="termination.yaml" >}}
1. Create a Pod based on the YAML configuration file:
kubectl create -f https://k8s.io/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/termination.yaml
In the YAML file, in the `cmd` and `args` fields, you can see that the
container sleeps for 10 seconds and then writes "Sleep expired" to
the `/dev/termination-log` file. After the container writes
the "Sleep expired" message, it terminates.
1. Display information about the Pod:
kubectl get pod termination-demo
Repeat the preceding command until the Pod is no longer running.
1. Display detailed information about the Pod:
kubectl get pod --output=yaml
The output includes the "Sleep expired" message:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
...
lastState:
terminated:
containerID: ...
exitCode: 0
finishedAt: ...
message: |
Sleep expired
...
1. Use a Go template to filter the output so that it includes
only the termination message:
```
kubectl get pod termination-demo -o go-template="{{range .status.containerStatuses}}{{.lastState.terminated.message}}{{end}}"
```
## Customizing the termination message
Kubernetes retrieves termination messages from the termination message file
specified in the `terminationMessagePath` field of a Container, which as a default
value of `/dev/termination-log`. By customizing this field, you can tell Kubernetes
to use a different file. Kubernetes use the contents from the specified file to
populate the Container's status message on both success and failure.
In the following example, the container writes termination messages to
`/tmp/my-log` for Kubernetes to retrieve:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: msg-path-demo
spec:
containers:
- name: msg-path-demo-container
image: debian
terminationMessagePath: "/tmp/my-log"
```
Moreover, users can set the `terminationMessagePolicy` field of a Container for
further customization. This field defaults to "`File`" which means the termination
messages are retrieved only from the termination message file. By setting the
`terminationMessagePolicy` to "`FallbackToLogsOnError`", you can tell Kubernetes
to use the last chunk of container log output if the termination message file
is empty and the container exited with an error. The log output is limited to
2048 bytes or 80 lines, whichever is smaller.

title: Events in Stackdriver
---
Kubernetes events are objects that provide insight into what is happening
inside a cluster, such as what decisions were made by scheduler or why some
pods were evicted from the node. You can read more about using events
for debugging your application in the [Application Introspection and Debugging
](/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/debug-application-introspection/)
section.
Since events are API objects, they are stored in the apiserver on master. To
avoid filling up master's disk, a retention policy is enforced: events are
removed one hour after the last occurrence. To provide longer history
and aggregation capabilities, a third party solution should be installed
to capture events.
This article describes a solution that exports Kubernetes events to
Stackdriver Logging, where they can be processed and analyzed.
**Note:** it is not guaranteed that all events happening in a cluster will be
exported to Stackdriver. One possible scenario when events will not be
exported is when event exporter is not running (e.g. during restart or
upgrade). In most cases it's fine to use events for purposes like setting up
[metrics][sdLogMetrics] and [alerts][sdAlerts], but you should be aware
of the potential inaccuracy.
[sdLogMetrics]: https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/view/logs_based_metrics
[sdAlerts]: https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/view/logs_based_metrics#creating_an_alerting_policy
{{< toc >}}
## Deployment
### Google Kubernetes Engine
In Google Kubernetes Engine, if cloud logging is enabled, event exporter
is deployed by default to the clusters with master running version 1.7 and
higher. To prevent disturbing your workloads, event exporter does not have
resources set and is in the best effort QOS class, which means that it will
be the first to be killed in the case of resource starvation. If you want
your events to be exported, make sure you have enough resources to facilitate
the event exporter pod. This may vary depending on the workload, but on
average, approximately 100Mb RAM and 100m CPU is needed.
### Deploying to the Existing Cluster
Deploy event exporter to your cluster using the following command:
```shell
kubectl create -f https://k8s.io/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/event-exporter-deploy.yaml
```
Since event exporter accesses the Kubernetes API, it requires permissions to
do so. The following deployment is configured to work with RBAC
authorization. It sets up a service account and a cluster role binding
to allow event exporter to read events. To make sure that event exporter
pod will not be evicted from the node, you can additionally set up resource
requests. As mentioned earlier, 100Mb RAM and 100m CPU should be enough.
{{< code file="event-exporter-deploy.yaml" >}}
## User Guide
Events are exported to the `GKE Cluster` resource in Stackdriver Logging.
You can find them by selecting an appropriate option from a drop-down menu
of available resources:
<img src="/images/docs/stackdriver-event-exporter-resource.png" alt="Events location in the Stackdriver Logging interface" width="500">
You can filter based on the event object fields using Stackdriver Logging
[filtering mechanism](https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/view/advanced_filters).
For example, the following query will show events from the scheduler
about pods from deployment `nginx-deployment`:
```
resource.type="gke_cluster"
jsonPayload.kind="Event"
jsonPayload.source.component="default-scheduler"
jsonPayload.involvedObject.name:"nginx-deployment"
```

# This configuration file for Fluentd is used
# to watch changes to Docker log files that live in the
# directory /var/lib/docker/containers/ and are symbolically
# linked to from the /var/log/containers directory using names that capture the
# pod name and container name. These logs are then submitted to
# Google Cloud Logging which assumes the installation of the cloud-logging plug-in.
#
# Example
# =======
# A line in the Docker log file might look like this JSON:
#
# {"log":"2014/09/25 21:15:03 Got request with path wombat\\n",
# "stream":"stderr",
# "time":"2014-09-25T21:15:03.499185026Z"}
#
# The record reformer is used to write the tag to focus on the pod name
# and the Kubernetes container name. For example a Docker container's logs
# might be in the directory:
# /var/lib/docker/containers/997599971ee6366d4a5920d25b79286ad45ff37a74494f262e3bc98d909d0a7b

# where 997599971ee6... is the Docker ID of the running container.
# The Kubernetes kubelet makes a symbolic link to this file on the host machine
# in the /var/log/containers directory which includes the pod name and the Kubernetes
# container name:
# synthetic-logger-0.25lps-pod_default-synth-lgr-997599971ee6366d4a5920d25b79286ad45ff37a74494f262e3bc98d909d0a7b.log

# The /var/log directory on the host is mapped to the /var/log directory in the container
# running this instance of Fluentd and we end up collecting the file:
# /var/log/containers/synthetic-logger-0.25lps-pod_default-synth-lgr-997599971ee6366d4a5920d25b79286ad45ff37a74494f262e3bc98d909d0a7b.log
# This results in the tag:

# The record reformer is used is discard the var.log.containers prefix and
# the Docker container ID suffix and "kubernetes." is pre-pended giving the tag:
# kubernetes.synthetic-logger-0.25lps-pod_default-synth-lgr
# Tag is then parsed by google_cloud plugin and translated to the metadata,
# visible in the log viewer
# Example:

title: Get a Shell to a Running Container
content_template: templates/task
---
{{% capture overview %}}
This page shows how to use `kubectl exec` to get a shell to a
running Container.
{{% /capture %}}
{{% capture prerequisites %}}
{{< include "task-tutorial-prereqs.md" >}} {{< version-check >}}
{{% /capture %}}
{{% capture steps %}}
## Getting a shell to a Container
In this exercise, you create a Pod that has one Container. The Container
runs the nginx image. Here is the configuration file for the Pod:
{{< code file="shell-demo.yaml" >}}
Create the Pod:
```shell
kubectl create -f https://k8s.io/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/shell-demo.yaml
```
Verify that the Container is running:
```shell
kubectl get pod shell-demo
```
Get a shell to the running Container:
```shell
kubectl exec -it shell-demo -- /bin/bash
```
In your shell, list the root directory:
```shell
root@shell-demo:/# ls /
```
In your shell, experiment with other commands. Here are
some examples:
```shell
root@shell-demo:/# ls /
root@shell-demo:/# cat /proc/mounts
root@shell-demo:/# cat /proc/1/maps
root@shell-demo:/# apt-get update
root@shell-demo:/# apt-get install -y tcpdump
root@shell-demo:/# tcpdump
root@shell-demo:/# apt-get install -y lsof
root@shell-demo:/# lsof
root@shell-demo:/# apt-get install -y procps
root@shell-demo:/# ps aux
root@shell-demo:/# ps aux | grep nginx
```
## Writing the root page for nginx
Look again at the configuration file for your Pod. The Pod
has an `emptyDir` volume, and the Container mounts the volume
at `/usr/share/nginx/html`.
In your shell, create an `index.html` file in the `/usr/share/nginx/html`
directory:
```shell
root@shell-demo:/# echo Hello shell demo > /usr/share/nginx/html/index.html
```
In your shell, send a GET request to the nginx server:
```shell
root@shell-demo:/# apt-get update
root@shell-demo:/# apt-get install curl
root@shell-demo:/# curl localhost
```
The output shows the text that you wrote to the `index.html` file:
```shell
Hello shell demo
```
When you are finished with your shell, enter `exit`.
## Running individual commands in a Container
In an ordinary command window, not your shell, list the environment
variables in the running Container:
```shell
kubectl exec shell-demo env
```
Experiment running other commands. Here are some examples:
```shell
kubectl exec shell-demo ps aux
kubectl exec shell-demo ls /
kubectl exec shell-demo cat /proc/1/mounts
```
{{% /capture %}}
{{% capture discussion %}}
## Opening a shell when a Pod has more than one Container
If a Pod has more than one Container, use `--container` or `-c` to
specify a Container in the `kubectl exec` command. For example,
suppose you have a Pod named my-pod, and the Pod has two containers
named main-app and helper-app. The following command would open a
shell to the main-app Container.
```shell
kubectl exec -it my-pod --container main-app -- /bin/bash
```

title: Developing and debugging services locally
content_template: templates/task
---
{{% capture overview %}}
Kubernetes applications usually consist of multiple, separate services, each running in its own container. Developing and debugging these services on a remote Kubernetes cluster can be cumbersome, requiring you to [get a shell on a running container](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/get-shell-running-container/) and running your tools inside the remote shell.
`telepresence` is a tool to ease the process of developing and debugging services locally, while proxying the service to a remote Kubernetes cluster. Using `telepresence` allows you to use custom tools, such as a debugger and IDE, for a local service and provides the service full access to ConfigMap, secrets, and the services running on the remote cluster.
This document describes using `telepresence` to develop and debug services running on a remote cluster locally.

* Kubernetes cluster is installed
* `kubectl` is configured to communicate with the cluster

{{% /capture %}}
{{% capture steps %}}
## Getting a shell on a remote cluster
Open a terminal and run `telepresence` with no arguments to get a `telepresence` shell. This shell runs locally, giving you full access to your local filesystem.
The `telepresence` shell can be used in a variety of ways. For example, write a shell script on your laptop, and run it directly from the shell in real time. You can do this on a remote shell as well, but you might not be able to use your preferred code editor, and the script is deleted when the container is terminated.
Enter `exit` to quit and close the shell.
## Developing or debugging an existing service
When developing an application on Kubernetes, you typically program or debug a single service. The service might require access to other services for testing and debugging. One option is to use the continuous deployment pipeline, but even the fastest deployment pipeline introduces a delay in the program or debug cycle.
Use the `--swap-deployment` option to swap an existing deployment with the Telepresence proxy. Swapping allows you to run a service locally and connect to the remote Kubernetes cluster. The services in the remote cluster can now access the locally running instance.
To run telepresence with `--swap-deployment`, enter:
`telepresence --swap-deployment $DEPLOYMENT_NAME`
where $DEPLOYMENT_NAME is the name of your existing deployment.
Running this command spawns a shell. In the shell, start your service. You can then make edits to the source code locally, save, and see the changes take effect immediately. You can also run your service in a debugger, or any other local development tool.

Telepresence has [numerous proxying options](https://www.telepresence.io/reference/methods), depending on your situation.

title: Logging Using Elasticsearch and Kibana
---
On the Google Compute Engine (GCE) platform, the default logging support targets
[Stackdriver Logging](https://cloud.google.com/logging/), which is described in detail
in the [Logging With Stackdriver Logging](/docs/user-guide/logging/stackdriver).
This article describes how to set up a cluster to ingest logs into
[Elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/products/elasticsearch) and view
them using [Kibana](https://www.elastic.co/products/kibana), as an alternative to
Stackdriver Logging when running on GCE. Note that Elasticsearch and Kibana
cannot be setup automatically in the Kubernetes cluster hosted on
Google Kubernetes Engine, you have to deploy it manually.
To use Elasticsearch and Kibana for cluster logging, you should set the
following environment variable as shown below when creating your cluster with
kube-up.sh:
```shell
KUBE_LOGGING_DESTINATION=elasticsearch
```
You should also ensure that `KUBE_ENABLE_NODE_LOGGING=true` (which is the default for the GCE platform).
Now, when you create a cluster, a message will indicate that the Fluentd log
collection daemons that run on each node will target Elasticsearch:
```shell
$ cluster/kube-up.sh

Zone: us-central1-b

```
The per-node Fluentd pods, the Elasticsearch pods, and the Kibana pods should
all be running in the kube-system namespace soon after the cluster comes to
life.
```shell
$ kubectl get pods --namespace=kube-system

```
The `fluentd-elasticsearch` pods gather logs from each node and send them to
the `elasticsearch-logging` pods, which are part of a
[service](/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/) named `elasticsearch-logging`. These
Elasticsearch pods store the logs and expose them via a REST API.
The `kibana-logging` pod provides a web UI for reading the logs stored in
Elasticsearch, and is part of a service named `kibana-logging`.
The Elasticsearch and Kibana services are both in the `kube-system` namespace
and are not directly exposed via a publicly reachable IP address. To reach them,
follow the instructions for [Accessing services running in a cluster](/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/access-cluster/#accessing-services-running-on-the-cluster).
If you try accessing the `elasticsearch-logging` service in your browser, you'll
see a status page that looks something like this:
![Elasticsearch Status](/images/docs/es-browser.png)
You can now type Elasticsearch queries directly into the browser, if you'd
like. See [Elasticsearch's documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-uri-request.html)
for more details on how to do so.
Alternatively, you can view your cluster's logs using Kibana (again using the
[instructions for accessing a service running in the cluster](/docs/user-guide/accessing-the-cluster/#accessing-services-running-on-the-cluster)).
The first time you visit the Kibana URL you will be presented with a page that
asks you to configure your view of the ingested logs. Select the option for
timeseries values and select `@timestamp`. On the following page select the
`Discover` tab and then you should be able to see the ingested logs.
You can set the refresh interval to 5 seconds to have the logs
regularly refreshed.
Here is a typical view of ingested logs from the Kibana viewer:
![Kibana logs](/images/docs/kibana-logs.png)
Kibana opens up all sorts of powerful options for exploring your logs! For some
ideas on how to dig into it, check out [Kibana's documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/discover.html).

title: Logging Using Stackdriver
---
Before reading this page, it's highly recommended to familiarize yourself
with the [overview of logging in Kubernetes](/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/logging).
**Note:** By default, Stackdriver logging collects only your container's standard output and
standard error streams. To collect any logs your application writes to a file (for example),
see the [sidecar approach](/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/logging#sidecar-container-with-a-logging-agent)
in the Kubernetes logging overview.
## Deploying
To ingest logs, you must deploy the Stackdriver Logging agent to each node in your cluster.
The agent is a configured `fluentd` instance, where the configuration is stored in a `ConfigMap`
and the instances are managed using a Kubernetes `DaemonSet`. The actual deployment of the
`ConfigMap` and `DaemonSet` for your cluster depends on your individual cluster setup.
### Deploying to a new cluster
#### Google Kubernetes Engine
Stackdriver is the default logging solution for clusters deployed on Google Kubernetes Engine.
Stackdriver Logging is deployed to a new cluster by default unless you explicitly opt-out.
#### Other platforms
To deploy Stackdriver Logging on a *new* cluster that you're
creating using `kube-up.sh`, do the following:
1. Set the `KUBE_LOGGING_DESTINATION` environment variable to `gcp`.
1. **If not running on GCE**, include the `beta.kubernetes.io/fluentd-ds-ready=true`
in the `KUBE_NODE_LABELS` variable.
Once your cluster has started, each node should be running the Stackdriver Logging agent.
The `DaemonSet` and `ConfigMap` are configured as addons. If you're not using `kube-up.sh`,
consider starting a cluster without a pre-configured logging solution and then deploying
Stackdriver Logging agents to the running cluster.
{{< warning >}}
**Warning:** The Stackdriver logging daemon has known issues on platforms other
than Google Kubernetes Engine. Proceed at your own risk.
{{< /warning >}}
### Deploying to an existing cluster
1. Apply a label on each node, if not already present.
The Stackdriver Logging agent deployment uses node labels to determine to which nodes
it should be allocated. These labels were introduced to distinguish nodes with the
Kubernetes version 1.6 or higher. If the cluster was created with Stackdriver Logging
configured and node has version 1.5.X or lower, it will have fluentd as static pod. Node
cannot have more than one instance of fluentd, therefore only apply labels to the nodes
that don't have fluentd pod allocated already. You can ensure that your node is labelled
properly by running `kubectl describe` as follows:
```
kubectl describe node $NODE_NAME
```
The output should be similar to this:
```
Name: NODE_NAME
Role:
Labels: beta.kubernetes.io/fluentd-ds-ready=true
...
```
Ensure that the output contains the label `beta.kubernetes.io/fluentd-ds-ready=true`. If it
is not present, you can add it using the `kubectl label` command as follows:
```
kubectl label node $NODE_NAME beta.kubernetes.io/fluentd-ds-ready=true
```
**Note:** If a node fails and has to be recreated, you must re-apply the label to
the recreated node. To make this easier, you can use Kubelet's command-line parameter
for applying node labels in your node startup script.
1. Deploy a `ConfigMap` with the logging agent configuration by running the following command:
```
kubectl create -f https://k8s.io/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/fluentd-gcp-configmap.yaml
```
The command creates the `ConfigMap` in the `default` namespace. You can download the file
manually and change it before creating the `ConfigMap` object.
1. Deploy the logging agent `DaemonSet` by running the following command:
```
kubectl create -f https://k8s.io/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/fluentd-gcp-ds.yaml
```
You can download and edit this file before using it as well.
## Verifying your Logging Agent Deployment
After Stackdriver `DaemonSet` is deployed, you can discover logging agent deployment status
by running the following command:
```shell
kubectl get ds --all-namespaces
```
If you have 3 nodes in the cluster, the output should looks similar to this:
```
NAMESPACE NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY NODE-SELECTOR AGE
...
default fluentd-gcp-v2.0 3 3 3 beta.kubernetes.io/fluentd-ds-ready=true 5m
...
```
To understand how logging with Stackdriver works, consider the following
synthetic log generator pod specification [counter-pod.yaml](/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/counter-pod.yaml):
{{< code file="counter-pod.yaml" >}}
This pod specification has one container that runs a bash script
that writes out the value of a counter and the date once per
second, and runs indefinitely. Let's create this pod in the default namespace.
```shell
kubectl create -f https://k8s.io/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/counter-pod.yaml
```
You can observe the running pod:
```shell
$ kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
counter 1/1 Running 0 5m
```
For a short period of time you can observe the 'Pending' pod status, because the kubelet
has to download the container image first. When the pod status changes to `Running`
you can use the `kubectl logs` command to view the output of this counter pod.
```shell
$ kubectl logs counter
0: Mon Jan 1 00:00:00 UTC 2001
1: Mon Jan 1 00:00:01 UTC 2001
2: Mon Jan 1 00:00:02 UTC 2001
...
```
As described in the logging overview, this command fetches log entries
from the container log file. If the container is killed and then restarted by
Kubernetes, you can still access logs from the previous container. However,
if the pod is evicted from the node, log files are lost. Let's demonstrate this
by deleting the currently running counter container:
```shell
$ kubectl delete pod counter
pod "counter" deleted
```
and then recreating it:
```shell
$ kubectl create -f https://k8s.io/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/counter-pod.yaml
pod "counter" created
```
After some time, you can access logs from the counter pod again:
```shell
$ kubectl logs counter
0: Mon Jan 1 00:01:00 UTC 2001
1: Mon Jan 1 00:01:01 UTC 2001
2: Mon Jan 1 00:01:02 UTC 2001
...
```
As expected, only recent log lines are present. However, for a real-world
application you will likely want to be able to access logs from all containers,
especially for the debug purposes. This is exactly when the previously enabled
Stackdriver Logging can help.
## Viewing logs
Stackdriver Logging agent attaches metadata to each log entry, for you to use later
in queries to select only the messages you're interested in: for example,
the messages from a particular pod.
The most important pieces of metadata are the resource type and log name.
The resource type of a container log is `container`, which is named
`GKE Containers` in the UI (even if the Kubernetes cluster is not on Google Kubernetes Engine).
The log name is the name of the container, so that if you have a pod with
two containers, named `container_1` and `container_2` in the spec, their logs
will have log names `container_1` and `container_2` respectively.
System components have resource type `compute`, which is named
`GCE VM Instance` in the interface. Log names for system components are fixed.
For a Google Kubernetes Engine node, every log entry from a system component has one of the following
log names:
* docker
* kubelet
* kube-proxy
You can learn more about viewing logs on [the dedicated Stackdriver page](https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/view/logs_viewer).
One of the possible ways to view logs is using the
[`gcloud logging`](https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/api/gcloud-logging)
command line interface from the [Google Cloud SDK](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/).
It uses Stackdriver Logging [filtering syntax](https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/view/advanced_filters)
to query specific logs. For example, you can run the following command:
```shell
$ gcloud beta logging read 'logName="projects/$YOUR_PROJECT_ID/logs/count"' --format json | jq '.[].textPayload'
...
"2: Mon Jan 1 00:01:02 UTC 2001\n"
"1: Mon Jan 1 00:01:01 UTC 2001\n"
"0: Mon Jan 1 00:01:00 UTC 2001\n"
...
"2: Mon Jan 1 00:00:02 UTC 2001\n"
"1: Mon Jan 1 00:00:01 UTC 2001\n"
"0: Mon Jan 1 00:00:00 UTC 2001\n"
```
As you can see, it outputs messages for the count container from both
the first and second runs, despite the fact that the kubelet already deleted
the logs for the first container.
### Exporting logs
You can export logs to [Google Cloud Storage](https://cloud.google.com/storage/)
or to [BigQuery](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/) to run further
analysis. Stackdriver Logging offers the concept of sinks, where you can
specify the destination of log entries. More information is available on
the Stackdriver [Exporting Logs page](https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/export/configure_export_v2).
## Configuring Stackdriver Logging Agents
Sometimes the default installation of Stackdriver Logging may not suit your needs, for example:
* You may want to add more resources because default performance doesn't suit your needs.
* You may want to introduce additional parsing to extract more metadata from your log messages,
like severity or source code reference.
* You may want to send logs not only to Stackdriver or send it to Stackdriver only partially.
In this case you need to be able to change the parameters of `DaemonSet` and `ConfigMap`.
### Prerequisites
If you're using GKE and Stackdriver Logging is enabled in your cluster, you
cannot change its configuration, because it's managed and supported by GKE.
However, you can disable the default integration and deploy your own. Note,
that you will have to support and maintain a newly deployed configuration
yourself: update the image and configuration, adjust the resources and so on.
To disable the default logging integration, use the following command:
```
gcloud beta container clusters update --logging-service=none CLUSTER
```
You can find notes on how to then install Stackdriver Logging agents into
a running cluster in the [Deploying section](#deploying).
### Changing `DaemonSet` parameters
When you have the Stackdriver Logging `DaemonSet` in your cluster, you can just modify the
`template` field in its spec, daemonset controller will update the pods for you. For example,
let's assume you've just installed the Stackdriver Logging as described above. Now you want to
change the memory limit to give fluentd more memory to safely process more logs.
Get the spec of `DaemonSet` running in your cluster:
```shell
kubectl get ds fluentd-gcp-v2.0 --namespace kube-system -o yaml > fluentd-gcp-ds.yaml
```
Then edit resource requirements in the spec file and update the `DaemonSet` object
in the apiserver using the following command:
```shell
kubectl replace -f fluentd-gcp-ds.yaml
```
After some time, Stackdriver Logging agent pods will be restarted with the new configuration.
### Changing fluentd parameters
Fluentd configuration is stored in the `ConfigMap` object. It is effectively a set of configuration
files that are merged together. You can learn about fluentd configuration on the [official
site](http://docs.fluentd.org).
Imagine you want to add a new parsing logic to the configuration, so that fluentd can understand
default Python logging format. An appropriate fluentd filter looks similar to this:
```
<filter reform.**>
type parser
format /^(?<severity>\w):(?<logger_name>\w):(?<log>.*)/
reserve_data true
suppress_parse_error_log true
key_name log
</filter>
```
Now you have to put it in the configuration and make Stackdriver Logging agents pick it up.
Get the current version of the Stackdriver Logging `ConfigMap` in your cluster
by running the following command:
```shell
kubectl get cm fluentd-gcp-config --namespace kube-system -o yaml > fluentd-gcp-configmap.yaml
```
Then in the value for the key `containers.input.conf` insert a new filter right after
the `source` section. **Note:** order is important.
Updating `ConfigMap` in the apiserver is more complicated than updating `DaemonSet`. It's better
to consider `ConfigMap` to be immutable. Then, in order to update the configuration, you should
create `ConfigMap` with a new name and then change `DaemonSet` to point to it
using [guide above](#changing-daemonset-parameters).
### Adding fluentd plugins
Fluentd is written in Ruby and allows to extend its capabilities using
[plugins](http://www.fluentd.org/plugins). If you want to use a plugin, which is not included
in the default Stackdriver Logging container image, you have to build a custom image. Imagine
you want to add Kafka sink for messages from a particular container for additional processing.
You can re-use the default [container image sources](https://git.k8s.io/contrib/fluentd/fluentd-gcp-image)
with minor changes:
* Change Makefile to point to your container repository, e.g. `PREFIX=gcr.io/<your-project-id>`.
* Add your dependency to the Gemfile, for example `gem 'fluent-plugin-kafka'`.
Then run `make build push` from this directory. After updating `DaemonSet` to pick up the
new image, you can use the plugin you installed in the fluentd configuration.

title: Monitor Node Health
---
{{< toc >}}
## Node Problem Detector
*Node problem detector* is a [DaemonSet](/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/daemonset/) monitoring the
node health. It collects node problems from various daemons and reports them
to the apiserver as [NodeCondition](/docs/concepts/architecture/nodes/#condition)
and [Event](/docs/reference/generated/kubernetes-api/{{< param "version" >}}/#event-v1-core).
It supports some known kernel issue detection now, and will detect more and
more node problems over time.
Currently Kubernetes won't take any action on the node conditions and events
generated by node problem detector. In the future, a remedy system could be
introduced to deal with node problems.
See more information
[here](https://github.com/kubernetes/node-problem-detector).
## Limitations
* The kernel issue detection of node problem detector only supports file based
kernel log now. It doesn't support log tools like journald.
* The kernel issue detection of node problem detector has assumption on kernel
log format, and now it only works on Ubuntu and Debian. However, it is easy to extend
it to [support other log format](/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/monitor-node-health/#support-other-log-format).
## Enable/Disable in GCE cluster
Node problem detector is [running as a cluster addon](/docs/admin/cluster-large/#addon-resources) enabled by default in the
gce cluster.
You can enable/disable it by setting the environment variable
`KUBE_ENABLE_NODE_PROBLEM_DETECTOR` before `kube-up.sh`.
## Use in Other Environment
To enable node problem detector in other environment outside of GCE, you can use
either `kubectl` or addon pod.
### Kubectl
This is the recommended way to start node problem detector outside of GCE. It
provides more flexible management, such as overwriting the default
configuration to fit it into your environment or detect
customized node problems.
* **Step 1:** `node-problem-detector.yaml`:
{{< code file="node-problem-detector.yaml" >}}
***Notice that you should make sure the system log directory is right for your
OS distro.***
* **Step 2:** Start node problem detector with `kubectl`:
```shell
kubectl create -f https://k8s.io/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/node-problem-detector.yaml
```
### Addon Pod
This is for those who have their own cluster bootstrap solution, and don't need
to overwrite the default configuration. They could leverage the addon pod to
further automate the deployment.
Just create `node-problem-detector.yaml`, and put it under the addon pods directory
`/etc/kubernetes/addons/node-problem-detector` on master node.
## Overwrite the Configuration
The [default configuration](https://github.com/kubernetes/node-problem-detector/tree/v0.1/config)
is embedded when building the docker image of node problem detector.
However, you can use [ConfigMap](/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-pod-configmap/) to overwrite it
following the steps:
* **Step 1:** Change the config files in `config/`.
* **Step 2:** Create the ConfigMap `node-problem-detector-config` with `kubectl create configmap
node-problem-detector-config --from-file=config/`.
* **Step 3:** Change the `node-problem-detector.yaml` to use the ConfigMap:
{{< code file="node-problem-detector-configmap.yaml" >}}
* **Step 4:** Re-create the node problem detector with the new yaml file:
```shell
kubectl delete -f https://k8s.io/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/node-problem-detector.yaml # If you have a node-problem-detector running
kubectl create -f https://k8s.io/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/node-problem-detector-configmap.yaml
```
***Notice that this approach only applies to node problem detector started with `kubectl`.***
For node problem detector running as cluster addon, because addon manager doesn't support
ConfigMap, configuration overwriting is not supported now.
## Kernel Monitor
*Kernel Monitor* is a problem daemon in node problem detector. It monitors kernel log
and detects known kernel issues following predefined rules.
The Kernel Monitor matches kernel issues according to a set of predefined rule list in
[`config/kernel-monitor.json`](https://github.com/kubernetes/node-problem-detector/blob/v0.1/config/kernel-monitor.json).
The rule list is extensible, and you can always extend it by overwriting the
configuration.
### Add New NodeConditions
To support new node conditions, you can extend the `conditions` field in
`config/kernel-monitor.json` with new condition definition:
```json
{
"type": "NodeConditionType",
"reason": "CamelCaseDefaultNodeConditionReason",
"message": "arbitrary default node condition message"
}
```
### Detect New Problems
To detect new problems, you can extend the `rules` field in `config/kernel-monitor.json`
with new rule definition:
```json
{
"type": "temporary/permanent",
"condition": "NodeConditionOfPermanentIssue",
"reason": "CamelCaseShortReason",
"message": "regexp matching the issue in the kernel log"
}
```
### Change Log Path
Kernel log in different OS distros may locate in different path. The `log`
field in `config/kernel-monitor.json` is the log path inside the container.
You can always configure it to match your OS distro.
### Support Other Log Format
Kernel monitor uses [`Translator`](https://github.com/kubernetes/node-problem-detector/blob/v0.1/pkg/kernelmonitor/translator/translator.go)
plugin to translate kernel log the internal data structure. It is easy to
implement a new translator for a new log format.
## Caveats
It is recommended to run the node problem detector in your cluster to monitor
the node health. However, you should be aware that this will introduce extra
resource overhead on each node. Usually this is fine, because:
* The kernel log is generated relatively slowly.
* Resource limit is set for node problem detector.
* Even under high load, the resource usage is acceptable.

title: Tools for Monitoring Compute, Storage, and Network Resources
---
Understanding how an application behaves when deployed is crucial to scaling the application and providing a reliable service. In a Kubernetes cluster, application performance can be examined at many different levels: containers, [pods](/docs/user-guide/pods), [services](/docs/user-guide/services), and whole clusters. As part of Kubernetes we want to provide users with detailed resource usage information about their running applications at all these levels. This will give users deep insights into how their applications are performing and where possible application bottlenecks may be found. In comes [Heapster](https://github.com/kubernetes/heapster), a project meant to provide a base monitoring platform on Kubernetes.
## Overview
Heapster is a cluster-wide aggregator of monitoring and event data. It currently supports Kubernetes natively and works on all Kubernetes setups. Heapster runs as a pod in the cluster, similar to how any Kubernetes application would run. The Heapster pod discovers all nodes in the cluster and queries usage information from the nodes' [Kubelet](/docs/admin/kubelet/)s, the on-machine Kubernetes agent. The Kubelet itself fetches the data from [cAdvisor](https://github.com/google/cadvisor). Heapster groups the information by pod along with the relevant labels. This data is then pushed to a configurable backend for storage and visualization. Currently supported backends include [InfluxDB](http://influxdb.com/) (with [Grafana](http://grafana.org/) for visualization), [Google Cloud Monitoring](https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/) and many others described in more details [here](https://git.k8s.io/heapster/docs/sink-configuration.md). The overall architecture of the service can be seen below:
![overall monitoring architecture](/images/docs/monitoring-architecture.png)
Let's look at some of the other components in more detail.
### cAdvisor
cAdvisor is an open source container resource usage and performance analysis agent. It is purpose-built for containers and supports Docker containers natively. In Kubernetes, cAdvisor is integrated into the Kubelet binary. cAdvisor auto-discovers all containers in the machine and collects CPU, memory, filesystem, and network usage statistics. cAdvisor also provides the overall machine usage by analyzing the 'root' container on the machine.
On most Kubernetes clusters, cAdvisor exposes a simple UI for on-machine containers on port 4194. Here is a snapshot of part of cAdvisor's UI that shows the overall machine usage:
![cAdvisor](/images/docs/cadvisor.png)
### Kubelet
The Kubelet acts as a bridge between the Kubernetes master and the nodes. It manages the pods and containers running on a machine. Kubelet translates each pod into its constituent containers and fetches individual container usage statistics from cAdvisor. It then exposes the aggregated pod resource usage statistics via a REST API.
## Storage Backends
### InfluxDB and Grafana
A Grafana setup with InfluxDB is a very popular combination for monitoring in the open source world. InfluxDB exposes an easy to use API to write and fetch time series data. Heapster is setup to use this storage backend by default on most Kubernetes clusters. A detailed setup guide can be found [here](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/heapster/blob/master/docs/influxdb.md). InfluxDB and Grafana run in Pods. The pod exposes itself as a Kubernetes service which is how Heapster discovers it.
The Grafana container serves Grafana's UI which provides an easy to configure dashboard interface. The default dashboard for Kubernetes contains an example dashboard that monitors resource usage of the cluster and the pods inside of it. This dashboard can easily be customized and expanded. Take a look at the storage schema for InfluxDB [here](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/heapster/blob/master/docs/storage-schema.md#metrics).
Here is a video showing how to monitor a Kubernetes cluster using heapster, InfluxDB and Grafana:
[![How to monitor a Kubernetes cluster using heapster, InfluxDB and Grafana](http://img.youtube.com/vi/SZgqjMrxo3g/0.jpg)](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZgqjMrxo3g)
Here is a snapshot of the default Kubernetes Grafana dashboard that shows the CPU and Memory usage of the entire cluster, individual pods and containers:
![snapshot of the default Kubernetes Grafana dashboard](/images/docs/influx.png)
### Google Cloud Monitoring
Google Cloud Monitoring is a hosted monitoring service that allows you to visualize and alert on important metrics in your application. Heapster can be setup to automatically push all collected metrics to Google Cloud Monitoring. These metrics are then available in the [Cloud Monitoring Console](https://app.google.stackdriver.com/). This storage backend is the easiest to setup and maintain. The monitoring console allows you to easily create and customize dashboards using the exported data.
Here is a video showing how to setup and run a Google Cloud Monitoring backed Heapster:
[![how to setup and run a Google Cloud Monitoring backed Heapster](http://img.youtube.com/vi/xSMNR2fcoLs/0.jpg)](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSMNR2fcoLs)
Here is a snapshot of the Google Cloud Monitoring dashboard showing cluster-wide resource usage.

## Try it out!
Now that you've learned a bit about Heapster, feel free to try it out on your own clusters! The [Heapster repository](https://github.com/kubernetes/heapster) is available on GitHub. It contains detailed instructions to setup Heapster and its storage backends. Heapster runs by default on most Kubernetes clusters, so you may already have it! Feedback is always welcome. Please let us know if you run into any issues via the troubleshooting [channels](/docs/troubleshooting/).
