Add tetra policyfilter listpolicies command by tpapagian · Pull Request #3122 · cilium/tetragon

tpapagian · 2024-11-15T15:21:24Z

Add tetra policyfilter listpolicies to determine which Kubernetes Identity Aware policies should be applied on a specific container.

Example:

$ kubectl exec -it ds/tetragon -n kube-system -c tetragon -- tetra policyfilter -r "unix:///procRoot/1/root/run/containerd/containerd.sock" listpolicies ff433e9e16467787a60ac853d9b313150091968731f620776d6d7c514b1e8d6c
ID   NAME                    STATE     FILTERID   NAMESPACE   SENSORS          KERNELMEMORY
5    lseek-podfilter-usage   enabled   5          (global)    generic_kprobe   1.72 MB
1    lseek-podfilter-app     enabled   1          (global)    generic_kprobe   1.72 MB

Details on how this works can be found on specific commits.

cmd/tetra/debug/dump.go

 		fmt.Printf("%d: %s\n", polId, strings.Join(ids, ","))
 	}
+
+	fmt.Println("--- Reverse Map ---")


Even if we do not rename the map I find that "Direct" and "Reverse" would make things harder to understand. Let's describe what is the key and what is the value here to make it easier to understand the output.

I have renamed those to more descriptive headers.

Looks good to me! I'll let Kornilios review

Thanks!

 #define POLICY_FILTER_MAX_POLICIES   128
 #define POLICY_FILTER_MAX_NAMESPACES 1024
+#define POLICY_FILTER_MAX_CGROUP_IDS 32768 /* same as polMapSize in policyfilter/state.go */


This seems high to me. According to https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/best-practices/cluster-large/, a good limit for the number of pods per node is ~100. How about having something 512 or 1024 entries?

Yes, this makes sense. Just tried to keep that consistent with what we had in policyfilter/state.go.

Changed that to 1024.

pkg/policyfilter/map.go

This patch introduces an eBPF map that maps cgroupIds to policyIds. This is handled from the user-space in a similar way to policy_filter_maps. This can be used on later PRs to quickly indentify policies that match a specific container or optimize tracing policies. Signed-off-by: Anastasios Papagiannis <anastasios.papagiannis@isovalent.com>

It is useful to have a debug command to indentify which Kubernetes Identity Aware policies should be applied on a specific container. An example can be found here: Create a pod with "app: ubuntu" and "usage: dev" labels. $ cat << EOF | kubectl apply -f - apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: ubuntu labels: app: ubuntu usage: dev spec: containers: - name: ubuntu image: ubuntu:24.10 command: ["/bin/sleep", "3650d"] imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent restartPolicy: Always EOF And apply several policies where some of them match while others don't. $ cat << EOF | kubectl apply -f - apiVersion: cilium.io/v1alpha1 kind: TracingPolicy metadata: name: "lseek-podfilter-app" spec: podSelector: matchLabels: app: "ubuntu" kprobes: [...] EOF $ cat << EOF | kubectl apply -f - apiVersion: cilium.io/v1alpha1 kind: TracingPolicy metadata: name: "lseek-podfilter-usage" spec: podSelector: matchLabels: usage: "dev" kprobes: [...] EOF $ cat << EOF | kubectl apply -f - apiVersion: cilium.io/v1alpha1 kind: TracingPolicy metadata: name: "lseek-podfilter-prod" spec: podSelector: matchLabels: prod: "true" kprobes: [...] EOF $ cat << EOF | kubectl apply -f - apiVersion: cilium.io/v1alpha1 kind: TracingPolicy metadata: name: "lseek-podfilter-info" spec: podSelector: matchLabels: info: "broken" kprobes: [...] EOF $ cat << EOF | kubectl apply -f - apiVersion: cilium.io/v1alpha1 kind: TracingPolicy metadata: name: "lseek-podfilter-global" spec: kprobes: [...] EOF Based on the labels we expect that policies lseek-podfilter-app and lseek-podfilter-usage to match on that pod. lseek-podfilter-global is not a Kubernetes Identity Aware policy so this will be applied in all cases and we do not report that. First step is to find the container ID that we care about. $ kubectl describe pod/ubuntu | grep containerd Container ID: containerd://ff433e9e16467787a60ac853d9b313150091968731f620776d6d7c514b1e8d6c And then use it to report all Kubernetes Identity Aware policies that match. $ kubectl exec -it ds/tetragon -n kube-system -c tetragon -- tetra policyfilter -r "unix:///procRoot/1/root/run/containerd/containerd.sock" listpolicies ff433e9e16467787a60ac853d9b313150091968731f620776d6d7c514b1e8d6c ID NAME STATE FILTERID NAMESPACE SENSORS KERNELMEMORY 5 lseek-podfilter-usage enabled 5 (global) generic_kprobe 1.72 MB 1 lseek-podfilter-app enabled 1 (global) generic_kprobe 1.72 MB We also provide --debug flag to provide more details i.e.: $ kubectl exec -it ds/tetragon -n kube-system -c tetragon -- tetra policyfilter -r "unix:///procRoot/1/root/run/containerd/containerd.sock" listpolicies ff433e9e16467787a60ac853d9b313150091968731f620776d6d7c514b1e8d6c --debug time="2024-12-13T09:47:38Z" level=info msg=cgroup path=/run/tetragon/cgroup2/kubepods.slice/kubepods-besteffort.slice/kubepods-besteffort-pod189a8053_9f36_4250_bcae_9ed167172920.slice/cri-containerd-ff433e9e16467787a60ac853d9b313150091968731f620776d6d7c514b1e8d6c.scope time="2024-12-13T09:47:38Z" level=info msg=cgroup id=5695 time="2024-12-13T09:47:39Z" level=debug msg="resolved server address using info file" InitInfoFile=/var/run/tetragon/tetragon-info.json ServerAddress="localhost:54321" ID NAME STATE FILTERID NAMESPACE SENSORS KERNELMEMORY 1 lseek-podfilter-app enabled 1 (global) generic_kprobe 1.72 MB 5 lseek-podfilter-usage enabled 5 (global) generic_kprobe 1.72 MB This uses the cgroup-based policy filter map that introduced in a previous commit that maps cgroupIds to policyIds.
