This scenario skews the date and time of the nodes and pods matching the label on a Kubernetes/OpenShift cluster. More information can be found here.
If enabling Cerberus to monitor the cluster and pass/fail the scenario post chaos, refer docs. Make sure to start it before injecting the chaos and set CERBERUS_ENABLED environment variable for the chaos injection container to autoconnect.
$ podman run --name=<container_name> --net=host --env-host=true -v <path-to-kube-config>:/home/krkn/.kube/config:Z -d quay.io/krkn-chaos/krkn-hub:time-scenarios
$ podman logs -f <container_name or container_id> # Streams Kraken logs
$ podman inspect <container-name or container-id> --format "{{.State.ExitCode}}" # Outputs exit code which can considered as pass/fail for the scenario
$ docker run $(./get_docker_params.sh) --name=<container_name> --net=host -v <path-to-kube-config>:/home/krkn/.kube/config:Z -d quay.io/krkn-chaos/krkn-hub:time-scenarios
OR
$ docker run -e <VARIABLE>=<value> --name=<container_name> --net=host -v <path-to-kube-config>:/home/krkn/.kube/config:Z -d quay.io/krkn-chaos/krkn-hub:time-scenarios
$ docker logs -f <container_name or container_id> # Streams Kraken logs
$ docker inspect <container-name or container-id> --format "{{.State.ExitCode}}" # Outputs exit code which can considered as pass/fail for the scenario
TIP: Because the container runs with a non-root user, ensure the kube config is globally readable before mounting it in the container. You can achieve this with the following commands:
kubectl config view --flatten > ~/kubeconfig && chmod 444 ~/kubeconfig && docker run $(./get_docker_params.sh) --name=<container_name> --net=host -v ~kubeconfig:/home/krkn/.kube/config:Z -d quay.io/krkn-chaos/krkn-hub:<scenario>
Here is a demo of kraken-hub in action
The following environment variables can be set on the host running the container to tweak the scenario/faults being injected:
ex.)
export <parameter_name>=<value>
See list of variables that apply to all scenarios here that can be used/set in addition to these scenario specific variables
| Parameter | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| OBJECT_TYPE | Object to target. Supported options: pod, node | pod |
| LABEL_SELECTOR | Label of the container(s) or nodes to target | k8s-app=etcd |
| ACTION | Action to run. Supported actions: skew_time, skew_date | skew_date |
| OBJECT_NAME | List of the names of pods or nodes you want to skew ( optional parameter ) | [] |
| CONTAINER_NAME | Container in the specified pod to target in case the pod has multiple containers running. Random container is picked if empty | "" |
| NAMESPACE | Namespace of the pods you want to skew, need to be set only if setting a specific pod name | "" |
NOTE In case of using custom metrics profile or alerts profile when CAPTURE_METRICS or ENABLE_ALERTS is enabled, mount the metrics profile from the host on which the container is run using podman/docker under /home/krkn/kraken/config/metrics-aggregated.yaml and /home/krkn/kraken/config/alerts. For example:
$ podman run --name=<container_name> --net=host --env-host=true -v <path-to-custom-metrics-profile>:/home/krkn/kraken/config/metrics-aggregated.yaml -v <path-to-custom-alerts-profile>:/home/krkn/kraken/config/alerts -v <path-to-kube-config>:/home/krkn/.kube/config:Z -d quay.io/krkn-chaos/krkn-hub:container-scenarios
