PolicyReporter

Motivation

Kyverno ships with two types of validation. You can either enforce a rule or audit it. If you don't want to block developers or if you want to try out a new rule, you can use the audit functionality. The audit configuration creates PolicyReports which you can access with kubectl. Because I can't find a simple solution to get a general overview of this PolicyReports and PolicyReportResults, I created this tool to send information from PolicyReports to Grafana Loki. As additional feature this tool provides an http server with Prometheus Metrics about ReportPolicy Summaries and ReportPolicyRules.

This project is in an early stage. Please let me know if anything did not work as expected or if you want to send your audits to other targets then Loki.

Installation with Helm v3

Installation via Helm Repository

helm repo add policy-reporter https://fjogeleit.github.io/policy-reporter
helm install policy-reporter policy-reporter/policy-reporter --set loki.host=http://lokihost:3100 -n policy-reporter --create-namespace

You can also customize the ./charts/policy-reporter/values.yaml to change the default configurations.

Configure Policy Priorities

By default kyverno PolicyReports has no priority or severity for policies. So every passed rule validation will be processed as notice, a failed validation is processed as error. To customize this you can configure a mapping from policies to fail priorities. So you can send them as warnings instead of errors. To configure the priorities create a ConfigMap in the policy-reporter namespace with the name policy-reporter-config. This ConfigMap have to have a property config.yaml with the map as YAML content. See the Example for Detailes.

Example

# config.yaml
policy_priorities:
  check-label-app: warning
  require-ns-labels: warning
kubectl create configmap policy-reporter-config --from-file=config.yaml -n policy-reporter

Monitoring

The Helm Chart includes optional Manifests for the MonitoringStack. The provided Dashboard works without Loki

  • Enable a ServiceMonitor by setting metrics.serviceMonitor to true.
  • Enable a basic Dashboard as ConfigMap by setting metrics.dashboard.enabled to true.
    • Change the namespace to your required monitoring namespace by changing metrics.dashboard.namespace (default: cattle-dashboards)

If you are not using the MonitoringStack you can get the dashboard configuration from this Gist

Example Installation

helm install policy-reporter policy-reporter/policy-reporter --set metrics.serviceMonitor=true --set metrics.dashboard.enabled=true -n policy-reporter --create-namespace
