C8 Self-Managed Checks

Overview

This project aims to perform a health check of a Kubernetes installation with Camunda Platform and Zeebe. It provides scripts for verifying connectivity and configuration within the Kubernetes cluster as well as with Zeebe components.

The checks directory contains scripts for verifying Kubernetes and Zeebe connectivity and configuration. Each script can be executed independently.

Each script can be executed independently depending on the specific aspect you wish to test.

Usage

Kubernetes

Before using the Kubernetes health check scripts, ensure you have access to Kubernetes with a properly defined kube config context.

For more information on setting up kube config context, refer to the Kubernetes documentation.

Deployment Check (/checks/kube/deployment.sh)

Description:

This script checks the status of a Helm deployment in the specified namespace. It verifies the presence and readiness of required containers within the deployment, depending of your topology you may change required containers.

Usage:

Usage: ./checks/kube/deployment.sh [-h] [-n NAMESPACE] [-d HELM_DEPLOYMENT_NAME] [-l] [-c REQUIRED_CONTAINERS]
Options:
  -h                              Display this help message
  -n NAMESPACE                    Specify the namespace to use
  -d HELM_DEPLOYMENT_NAME         Specify the name of the helm deployment (default: camunda)
  -l                              Skip checks of the helm deployment (default: 0)
  -c REQUIRED_CONTAINERS          Specify the list of containers to check (comma-separated, default: console connector web-modeler optimize zeebe zeebe-gateway)

Example:

./checks/kube/deployment.sh -n camunda-primary -d camunda -c "zeebe,zeebe-gateway,web-modeler"

Dependencies:

• kubectl: Required for interacting with Kubernetes clusters.

Connectivity Check (/checks/kube/connectivity.sh)

Description:

This script verifies Kubernetes connectivity and associated configuration. It checks for the presence of services and ingresses that conform to the required specifications.

Usage:

Usage: ./checks/kube/connectivity.sh [-h] [-n NAMESPACE] [-i]
Options:
  -h                              Display this help message
  -n NAMESPACE                    Specify the namespace to use
  -i                              Skip checks of the ingress class (default: 0)

Example:

./checks/kube/connectivity.sh -n camunda-primary

Dependencies:

• kubectl: Required for interacting with Kubernetes clusters.
• helm: Required for managing Helm deployments.

Zeebe Connectivity

Token generation check (/checks/zeebe/token.sh)

Description:

This script retrieves an access token from an authorization server using client credentials grant.

Usage:

Usage: ./checks/zeebe/token.sh [-h] [-a ZEEBE_AUTHORIZATION_SERVER_URL] [-i ZEEBE_CLIENT_ID] [-s ZEEBE_CLIENT_SECRET] [-u ZEEBE_TOKEN_AUDIENCE]
Options:
  -h                                  Display this help message
  -a ZEEBE_AUTHORIZATION_SERVER_URL   Specify the authorization server URL (e.g.: https://local.distro.ultrawombat.com/auth/realms/camunda-platform/protocol/openid-connect/token)
  -i ZEEBE_CLIENT_ID                  Specify the client ID
  -s ZEEBE_CLIENT_SECRET              Specify the client secret
  -u ZEEBE_TOKEN_AUDIENCE             Specify the token audience
  -k                                  Skip TLS verification (insecure mode)
  -r CACERT                           Specify the path to CA certificate file
  -j CLIENTCERT                       Specify the path to client certificate file

Example:

./checks/zeebe/token.sh -a https://local.distro.example.com/auth/realms/camunda-platform/protocol/openid-connect/token -i myclientid -s 0Rn28VrQxGNxowrCWe6wbujwFghO4990 -u zeebe.distro.example.com

Dependencies:

• curl: Required for making HTTP requests.
• A registred [1] application on C8 Identity

gRPC zeebe check (/checks/zeebe/connectivity.sh)

Description:

This script verifies connectivity to a Zeebe instance using HTTP/2 and gRPC protocols. It also checks the status using zbctl.

Usage:

Usage: ./checks/zeebe/connectivity.sh [-h] [-H ZEEBE_HOST]
Options:
  -h                                    Display this help message
  -H ZEEBE_HOST                         Specify the Zeebe host with the port (e.g., zeebe.c8.camunda.example.com:443)
  -p ZEEBE_VERSION                      Specify the Zeebe version (default is latest version: 8.x.x)
  -f PROTO_FILE                         Specify the path to gateway.proto file or leave empty to download it (default behavior is to download the protofile)
  -k                                    Skip TLS verification (insecure mode)
  -r CACERT                             Specify the path to CA certificate file
  -j CLIENTCERT                         Specify the path to Client certificate file
  -a ZEEBE_AUTHORIZATION_SERVER_URL     Specify the authorization server URL (e.g.: https://local.distro.example.com/auth/realms/camunda-platform/protocol/openid-connect/token)
  -i ZEEBE_CLIENT_ID                    Specify the client ID
  -s ZEEBE_CLIENT_SECRET                Specify the client secret
  -u ZEEBE_TOKEN_AUDIENCE               Specify the token audience

Example:

./checks/zeebe/connectivity.sh -a https://local.distro.example.com/auth/realms/camunda-platform/protocol/openid-connect/token -i myclientid -s 0Rn28VrQxGNxowrCWe6wbujwFghO4990 -u zeebe.distro.example.com -H zeebe.local.distro.example.com:443

Dependencies:

• curl: Required for making HTTP requests.
