Sumo Logic Kubernetes Tools

This repository provides set of tools which can be used for debugging and testing sumologic kubernetes collection solution.

All the various tools are packaged into a single container image that is available in the following public registries:

• Docker Hub docker.io/sumologic/kubernetes-tools
• AWS Public ECR public.ecr.aws/sumologic/kubernetes-tools

The images are built for the following architectures:

• linux/amd64
• linux/arm64/v8

Disclaimer

This toolset is designed for internal usage and it's in development state. We are not giving guarantee of consistency and stability of the application. Inappropriate usage can lead to breaking cluster configuration and/or deployments.

Requirements

• kubectl >= 1.14

Applications

K8S Check

When Sumo Logic Kubernetes Collection is installed already:

$ kubectl run tools \
 -it --rm \
 --restart=Never \
 -n sumologic \
 --serviceaccount='collection-sumologic' \
 --image sumologic/kubernetes-tools \
 -- check

Alternatively, when collection is not installed, the same command can be run for default serviceaccount:

$ kubectl run tools \
 -it --rm \
 --restart=Never \
 --image sumologic/kubernetes-tools \
 -- check

Should provide an output such as:

/var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token exists, size=842
/var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/ca.crt exists, size=1025
/var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/namespace exists, size=7
/var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/namespace contents: default
KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST is set
KUBERNETES_SERVICE_PORT is set
POD_NAMESPACE is not set

Trace stress-tester

stress-tester is a simple tool that generates a desired number of spans per minute and sends them using Jaeger format

 kubectl run stress-tester \
  -it --rm \
  --restart=Never -n sumologic \
  --image sumologic/kubernetes-tools \
  --serviceaccount='collection-sumologic' \
  --env JAEGER_AGENT_HOST=collection-sumologic-otelcol.sumologic \
  --env JAEGER_AGENT_PORT=6831 \
  --env TOTAL_SPANS=1000000 \
  --env SPANS_PER_MIN=6000 \
  -- stress-tester

Configuration

You can set Jaeger Go client env variables (such as JAEGER_AGENT_HOST or JAEGER_COLLECTOR) and stress-tester specific ones:

• TOTAL_SPANS (default=10000000) - total number of spans to generate
• SPANS_PER_MIN (required) - rate of spans per minute (the tester will adjust the delay between iterations to reach such rate)

Customer Trace Tester

customer-trace-tester is a simple tool that generates a desired number of spans and traces and sends them using OpenTelemetry exporters. Traces can be easily found with the service=customer-trace-test-service filter in the Sumo Logic web application.

 kubectl run stress-tester \
  -it --rm \
  --restart=Never -n sumologic \
  --image sumologic/kubernetes-tools \
  --serviceaccount='collection-sumologic' \
  --env COLLECTOR_HOSTNAME=collection-sumologic-otelcol.sumologic \
  --env TOTAL_TRACES=1 \
  --env SPANS_PER_TRACE=10 \
  --env OTLP_HTTP=true \
  --env OTLP_GRPC=true \
  --env ZIPKIN=true \
  --env JAEGER_THRIFT_HTTP=true \
  -- customer-trace-tester

Configuration

You can configure this tool by setting the following env variables:

• COLLECTOR_HOSTNAME (default=collection-sumologic-otelcol.sumologic) - the hostname/service of OpenTelemetry Collector
• TOTAL_TRACES (default=1) - total number of traces to generate
• SPANS_PER_TRACE (default=10) - number of spans per trace
• OTLP_HTTP (default=true) - should the traces be sent using OTLP HTTP format
• OTLP_GRPC (default=true) - should the traces be sent using OTLP gRPC format
• ZIPKIN (default=true) - should the traces be sent using Zipkin format
• JAEGER_THRIFT_HTTP (default=true) - should the traces be sent using Jaeger Thrift HTTP format

Sumo Logic Mock

Small tool for mocking Sumo Logic receiver to avoid sending data outside of cluster.

$ kubectl run sumologic-mock \
 -it --rm \
 --restart=Never \
 --image sumologic/kubernetes-tools \
 -- sumologic-mock --help

More information

Template dependency configuration

There could be scenarios when you want to get the configuration of the subcharts (prometheus-operator, fluent-bit, etc.).

Command template-dependency takes part of the upstream values.yaml file basing on the given key:

 kubectl run template-dependency \
  -it --quiet --rm \
  --restart=Never -n sumologic \
  --image sumologic/kubernetes-tools \
  -- template-dependency prometheus-operator

This command will return our configuration of prometheus-operator ready to apply for the prometheus-operator helm chart.

You can add additional parameters (like --version=1.0.0) at the end of the command. List of supported arguments is compatible with helm show values.

Kube prometheus mixin configuration

template-prometheus-mixin is a command which generates remoteWrite mixin configuration for the kube prometheus.

 kubectl run template-dependency \
  -it --quiet --rm \
  --restart=Never -n sumologic \
  --image sumologic/kubernetes-tools \
  -- template-prometheus-mixin > kube-prometheus-sumo-logic-mixin.libsonnet

You can add additional parameters (like --version=1.0.0) at the end of the command. List of supported arguments is compatible with helm show values.

Logs generator

Logs generator is a tool for generating logs (text lines) using patterns, which can specify changing parts (words, digits).

kubectl run template-dependency \
  -it --quiet --rm \
  --restart=Never -n sumologic \
  --image sumologic/kubernetes-tools \
  -- logs-generator --help

More information

Interactive mode

The pod can be also run in interactive mode:

$ kubectl run tools \
  -it --rm \
  --restart=Never \
  --image sumologic/kubernetes-tools \
  -- /bin/bash -l
