watchall

Watch all Resources in a Kubernetes Cluster

watchall is a tool which records changes to Kubernetes resources.

At the moment I use it mostly to record how conditions of CRDs change over time.

Next: sql model

How to get the yaml into a useful db schema?

GVK, Name, Namespace, Conditions

OwnerRefs

Annotations, Labels,

how to visualize the many yaml files?

Diff the yaml or diff the html created from a yaml file?

Timeline

Show every change of every resource by time. Scroll vertical or scroll horizontal?

I think scroll up/down like the git-tree usually gets shown.

In a mgt-cluster with one small wl-cluster are roughly 500 resources.

Hide all resources which have not changed during the recording.

Analyzing: Set markers

During analyzing the output, I want to be able set markers.

For example the timestamp that the cluster was deleted because the timeout was reached.

Analyze: Search

What do you want to search for?

• Kind (for example Deployment)
• Name of a resource
• Fulltext

Maybe via k=foo n=foo t=foo

--> CEL?

Or store data in SQLight.

I think SQLight would be better.

Flat table: All resources are in one table.

Deduplication? Not now, optimize later.

Collection: During e2e test

We use envTest, so how to integrate there?
