KubeEye is a cloud-native Kubernetes cluster inspection tool that detects misconfigurations, unhealthy components, and node issues using customizable rules.
KubeEye aims to find various problems on Kubernetes, such as application misconfiguration, unhealthy cluster components and node problems.
KubeEye is used by Kubernetes administrators and DevOps teams to proactively identify and assess risks within Kubernetes clusters, including application misconfigurations and cluster health problems. It enables automated, scheduled inspections with customizable rules to maintain cluster security and stability.
PromQL-based inspection rules require a configured Prometheus endpoint prior to use. Offline installation requires manual import of container images and modification of Helm chart values. Inspection schedules use cron expressions and support pausing and retention limits. Multi-cluster inspection is currently supported only within KubeSphere environments.
Download the installation package from the Releases page for the desired version.
Extract the package using: tar -zxvf kubeeye-offline-${VERSION}.tar.gz
