Monitor Container Environments Using Kubernetes API Server
The NetQ Agent monitors many aspects of containers on your network by integrating with the Kubernetes API server. In particular, the NetQ Agent tracks:
- Identity: Every container’s IP and MAC address, name, image, and more. NetQ can locate containers across the fabric based on a container’s name, image, IP or MAC address, and protocol and port pair.
- Port mapping on a network: Protocol and ports exposed by a container. NetQ can identify containers exposing a specific protocol and port pair on a network.
- Connectivity: Information about network connectivity for a container, including adjacency, and can identify containers that can be affected by a top of rack switch.
This topic assumes a reasonable familiarity with Kubernetes terminology and architecture.
Use NetQ with Kubernetes Clusters
The NetQ Agent interfaces with the Kubernetes API server and listens to Kubernetes events. The NetQ Agent monitors network identity and physical network connectivity of Kubernetes resources like Pods, Daemon sets, Service, and so forth. NetQ works with any container network interface (CNI), such as Calico or Flannel.
The NetQ Kubernetes integration enables network administrators to:
- Identify and locate pods, deployment, replica-set and services deployed within the network using IP, name, label, and so forth.
- Track network connectivity of all pods of a service, deployment and replica set.
- Locate what pods have been deployed adjacent to a top of rack (ToR) switch.
- Check what pod, services, replica set or deployment can be impacted by a specific ToR switch.
NetQ also helps network administrators identify changes within a Kubernetes cluster and determine if such changes had an adverse effect on the network performance (caused by a noisy neighbor for example). Additionally, NetQ helps the infrastructure administrator determine how Kubernetes workloads are distributed within a network.
Requirements
The NetQ Agent supports Kubernetes version 1.9.2 or later.
Command Summary
A large set of commands are available to monitor Kubernetes configurations, including the ability to monitor clusters, nodes, daemon-set, deployment, pods, replication, and services. Run netq show kubernetes help to see all the possible commands.

Enable Kubernetes Monitoring
For Kubernetes monitoring, the NetQ Agent must be installed, running, and enabled on the hosts providing the Kubernetes service.
To enable NetQ Agent monitoring of the containers using the Kubernetes API, you must configure the following on the Kubernetes master node:
-
Install and configure the NetQ Agent and CLI on the master node.
Follow the steps outlined in Install NetQ Agents and Install NetQ CLI.
-
Enable Kubernetes monitoring by the NetQ Agent on the master node.
You can specify a polling period between 10 and 120 seconds; 15 seconds is the default.
cumulus@host:~$ netq config add agent kubernetes-monitor poll-period 20 Successfully added kubernetes monitor. Please restart netq-agent. -
Restart the NetQ agent.
cumulus@host:~$ netq config restart agent -
After waiting for a minute, run the
showcommand to view the cluster.cumulus@host:~$netq show kubernetes cluster -
Next, you must enable the NetQ Agent on all of the worker nodes for complete insight into your container network. Repeat steps 2 and 3 on each worker node.
View Status of Kubernetes Clusters
Run the netq show kubernetes cluster command to view the status of all Kubernetes clusters in the fabric. In this example, we see there are two clusters; one with server11 as the master server and the other with server12 as the master server. Both are healthy and their associated worker nodes are listed.
cumulus@host:~$ netq show kubernetes cluster
Matching kube_cluster records:
Master Cluster Name Controller Status Scheduler Status Nodes
------------------------ ---------------- -------------------- ---------------- --------------------
server11:3.0.0.68 default Healthy Healthy server11 server13 se
rver22 server11 serv
er12 server23 server
24
server12:3.0.0.69 default Healthy Healthy server12 server21 se
rver23 server13 serv
er14 server21 server
22
For deployments with multiple clusters, you can use the hostname option to filter the output. This example shows filtering of the list by server11:
cumulus@host:~$ netq server11 show kubernetes cluster
Matching kube_cluster records:
Master Cluster Name Controller Status Scheduler Status Nodes
------------------------ ---------------- -------------------- ---------------- --------------------
server11:3.0.0.68 default Healthy Healthy server11 server13 se
rver22 server11 serv
er12 server23 server
24
Optionally, use the json option to present the results in JSON format.
cumulus@host:~$ netq show kubernetes cluster json
{
"kube_cluster":[
{
"clusterName":"default",
"schedulerStatus":"Healthy",
"master":"server12:3.0.0.69",
"nodes":"server12 server21 server23 server13 server14 server21 server22",
"controllerStatus":"Healthy"
},
{
"clusterName":"default",
"schedulerStatus":"Healthy",
"master":"server11:3.0.0.68",
"nodes":"server11 server13 server22 server11 server12 server23 server24",
"controllerStatus":"Healthy"
}
],
"truncatedResult":false
}
View Changes to a Cluster
If data collection from the NetQ Agents is not occurring as it once was, you can verify that no changes have been made to the Kubernetes cluster configuration using the around option. Be sure to include the unit of measure with the around value. Valid units include:
- w: weeks
- d: days
- h: hours
- m: minutes
- s: seconds
- now
This example shows changes that have been made to the cluster in the last hour. In this example we see the addition of the two master nodes and the various worker nodes for each cluster.
cumulus@host:~$ netq show kubernetes cluster around 1h

View Kubernetes Pod Information
You can show configuration and status of the pods in a cluster, including the names, labels, addresses, associated cluster and containers, and whether the pod is running. This example shows pods for FRR, nginx, Calico, and various Kubernetes components sorted by master node.

View Kubernetes Node Information
You can view detailed information about a node, including their role in the cluster, pod CIDR and kubelet status. This example shows all of the nodes in the cluster with server11 as the master. Note that server11 acts as a worker node along with the other nodes in the cluster, server12, server13, server22, server23, and server24.
cumulus@host:~$ netq server11 show kubernetes node

For each depolyment, you can view the number of replicas associated with an application. This example shows information for a deployment of the nginx application:

You can search for information about your Kubernetes clusters using labels. A label search is similar to a “contains” regular expression search. In the following example, we are looking for all nodes that contain kube in the replication set name or label:

View Container Connectivity
You can view the connectivity graph of a Kubernetes pod, seeing its replica set, deployment or service level. The connectivity graph starts with the server where the pod is deployed, and shows the peer for each server interface. This data is displayed in a similar manner as the netq trace command, showing the interface name, the outbound port on that interface, and the inbound port on the peer.
In this example shows connectivity at the deployment level, where the nginx-8586cf59-wjwgp replica is in a pod on the server22 node. It has four possible commumication paths, through interfaces swp1-4 out varying ports to peer interfaces swp7 and swp20 on torc-21, torc-22, edge01 and edge02 nodes. Similarly, the connections are shown for two additional nginx replicas.

You can show details about the Kubernetes services in a cluster, including service name, labels associated with the service, type of service, associated IP address, an external address if a public service, and ports used. This example show the services available in the Kubernetes cluster:

You can preview the impact on the service availabilty based on the loss of particular node using the impact option. The output is color coded (not shown in the example below) so you can clearly see the impact: green shows no impact, yellow shows partial impact, and red shows full impact.

View Kubernetes Cluster Configuration in the Past
You can use the around option to go back in time to check the network status and identify any changes that occurred on the network.
This example shows the current state of the network. Notice there is a node named server23. server23 is there because the node server22 went down and Kubernetes spun up a third replica on a different host to satisfy the deployment requirement.
cumulus@host:~$ netq server11 show kubernetes deployment name nginx connectivity
