K8S - Emptydir - 取代ELK 使用fluentd 构建logging saidcar

由于k8s 的无状态service 通常部署在多个POD中，实现多实例面向高并发。
但是k8s 本身并没有提供集中查询多个pod的日志的功能

其中1个常见方案就是ELK.
本文的方案是利用fluentd sidecar 和 emptydir 把多个pod的日志导向到bigquery的table中。

Emptydir 的简介

在这里插入图片描述

Kubernetes中的EmptyDir是一种用于容器之间共享临时存储的空目录卷类型。EmptyDir卷在Pod内的容器之间共享，并且在Pod被删除时，其中的数据也会被删除。

以下是EmptyDir卷的一些关键特点：

临时存储：EmptyDir卷用于临时存储数据。当Pod被删除时，EmptyDir中的数据也会被删除。
容器共享：EmptyDir卷可以在同一个Pod中的多个容器之间共享数据。这对于需要在容器之间共享数据的场景非常有用。
空目录：EmptyDir卷开始为空，可以被一个或多个容器用来写入和读取数据。
生命周期：EmptyDir的生命周期与Pod的生命周期相同。当Pod被删除时，EmptyDir中的数据也会被清除。

所以Emptydir 就是用于1个pod 内多个容器数据交流的。
什么场景下1个pod 内会有两个容器，而且他们之间需要用文件来交流数据。
最著名的usecase 就是日志收集sidecar

下面我就会利用fluentd构建1个日志sidecar 作为例子：

至于fluentd的介绍请参考：
fluentd 简介，日志收集并导入BigQuery

准备fluentd 的镜像

由于fluentd 官方镜像并没有包含bigquery 插件，所以我们需要自己打包1个包含该插件的惊险

准备dockerfile

Dockerfile

# 使用 Fluentd 官方的镜像作为基础镜像
FROM fluentd:latest
USER root
RUN mkdir -p /app/logs/
RUN mkdir /app/gcp-key/

# 安装 fluent-plugin-bigquery 插件
RUN gem install fluent-plugin-bigquery

# 复制 Fluentd 配置文件到镜像中
COPY fluent.conf /fluentd/etc/fluent.conf

COPY fluentd-ingress-jason-hsbc.json /app/gcp-key/fluentd-ingress-jason-hsbc.json

# 定义 CMD 指令用于启动 Fluentd 并指定配置文件
CMD ["fluentd", "-c", "/fluentd/etc/fluent.conf"]

放置 bigquery 使用的service account key

其中 fluentd-ingress-jason-hsbc.json 是1个service account帐号的 json key, 被用于访问Biqquery table.

问题的是fluentd-ingress-jason-hsbc.json 放在哪里，这种敏感信息放在github 肯定是不合适的
这里的解决方案是放在google cloud 的secret manager

在这里插入图片描述

创建1个cloudbuild job trigger来构建这个docker 镜像

我的fluentd 镜像项目在
https://github.com/nvd11/fluentd-home

有了这个trigger 之后，一旦代码有任何更新， clouldbuild 会自动帮我打包1个新的镜像

terraform 代码：

resource "google_cloudbuild_trigger" "fluentd-bq-gar-trigger" {
  name = "fluentd-bq-gar-trigger" # could not contains underscore

  location = var.region_id

  # when use github then should use trigger_template
  github {
    name = "fluentd-home"
    owner = "nvd11"
    push {
      branch = "main"
      invert_regex = false # means trigger on branch
    }
  }

  filename = "cloudbuild-gar.yaml"
  # projects/jason-hsbc/serviceAccounts/terraform@jason-hsbc.iam.gserviceaccount.com
  service_account = data.google_service_account.cloudbuild_sa.id 
}

为fluentd 镜像构建编写cloudbuild yaml

cloudbuld-gar.yaml

# just to update the docker image to GAR with the pom.xml version

steps:
  - id: prepare service acccount json key file
    name: ubuntu # https://hub.docker.com/_/maven
    entrypoint: bash
    args:
      - '-c'
      - |
        ls -l
        echo $$FLUENTD_INGRESS_JASON_HSBC_KEY > fluentd-ingress-jason-hsbc.json
        ls -l
        cat ./fluentd-ingress-jason-hsbc.json
    secretEnv:
      - 'FLUENTD_INGRESS_JASON_HSBC_KEY'

  - id: build and push docker image
    name: 'gcr.io/cloud-builders/docker'
    entrypoint: bash
    args:
      - '-c'
      - |
        set -x
        echo "Building docker image with tag: $_APP_TAG"
        docker build -t $_GAR_BASE/$PROJECT_ID/$_DOCKER_REPO_NAME/${_APP_NAME}:${_APP_TAG} .
        docker push $_GAR_BASE/$PROJECT_ID/$_DOCKER_REPO_NAME/${_APP_NAME}:${_APP_TAG}


logsBucket: gs://jason-hsbc_cloudbuild/logs/
options: # https://cloud.google.com/cloud-build/docs/build-config#options
  logging: GCS_ONLY # or CLOUD_LOGGING_ONLY https://cloud.google.com/cloud-build/docs/build-config#logging

availableSecrets:
  secretManager:
    - versionName: projects/$PROJECT_ID/secrets/fluentd-ingress-jason-hsbc-key/versions/latest
      env: 'FLUENTD_INGRESS_JASON_HSBC_KEY'

substitutions:
  _DOCKER_REPO_NAME: my-docker-repo
  _APP_NAME: fluentd-bigquery
  _APP_TAG: latest
  _GAR_BASE: europe-west2-docker.pkg.dev

构建镜像

镜像构建成功

gateman@MoreFine-S500:~/keys$ gcloud artifacts docker images list europe-west2-docker.pkg.dev/jason-hsbc/my-docker-repo --include-tags | grep fluentd

准备fluentd 配置并放入k8s的config map

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: configmap-fluentd-cloud-order
data:
  fluent.conf: |
    <source>
        @type tail
        path /app/logs/app.log
        pos_file /app/logs/app.log.pos
        tag app.logs 
        format none
    </source>

    <match **>
      @type bigquery_insert
      
      <buffer>
        flush_mode immediate
      </buffer>
      
      #auth_method compute_engine
      auth_method json_key
      json_key /app/gcp-key/fluentd-ingress-jason-hsbc.json
      # private_key_passphrase notasecret # default

      project jason-hsbc
      dataset LOGS
      auto_create_table true
      table cloud-order-logs

      <inject>
        time_key timestamp
        # time_type unixtime_millis # out of range
        time_type string
        time_format %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%L
      </inject>

      schema [
        {
          "name": "timestamp",
          "type": "TIMESTAMP"
        },
        {
          "name": "project_id",
          "type": "STRING"
        },
         {
          "name": "dataset",
          "type": "STRING"
        },
         {
          "name": "table",
          "type": "STRING"
        },
        {
          "name": "worker",
          "type": "STRING"
        },
         {
          "name": "ppid",
          "type": "STRING"
        },
        {
          "name": "inserted_rows",
          "type": "STRING"
        },
        {
          "name": "message",
          "type": "STRING"
        }
      ]
    </match>

注意这个配置会把日志写入 LOGS.cloud-order-logs 这个Bigquery table

准备cloud-order service 的deployment.yaml

deployment-cloud-order-fluentd-sidecar.yaml

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  labels: # label of this deployment
    app: cloud-order # custom defined

  selector: # label of the Pod that the Deployment is managing,, it's mandatory, without it , we will get this error 
            # error: error validating data: ValidationError(Deployment.spec.selector): missing required field "matchLabels" in io.k8s.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.LabelSelector ..
    matchLabels:

    metadata:

    spec: # specification of the Pod
      containers:
      - image: europe-west2-docker.pkg.dev/jason-hsbc/my-docker-repo/cloud-order:1.1.0 # image of the container
        imagePullPolicy: Always
        name: container-cloud-order
        command: ["bash"]
        args: 
          - "-c"
          - |
            java -jar -Dserver.port=8080 app.jar --spring.profiles.active=$APP_ENVIRONMENT --logging.file.name=/app/logs/app.log

            readOnly: false # read only is set to false
        ports:
        - containerPort: 8080
          name: cloud-order

      - image: europe-west2-docker.pkg.dev/jason-hsbc/my-docker-repo/fluentd-bigquery:latest # image of the container
        imagePullPolicy: Always
        name: container-fluentd
        command: ["sh"]
        args: 
          - "-c"
          - |
            fluentd -c /app/config/fluentd.conf
        volumeMounts: # read log from here
          - name: volume-log
            mountPath: /app/logs/
            readOnly: false # read only is set to false
          - name: config-volume
            mountPath: /app/config
            readOnly: false # read only is set to false
      volumes:
        - name: volume-log
          emptyDir: {}
        - name: config-volume
          configMap:
            name: configmap-fluentd-cloud-order # name of the config map
            items:
              - key: fluent.conf # key of the config map item
                path: fluentd.conf # name of the file, it will only contain the content of the key
                                                                       
            
      restartPolicy: Always # Restart policy for all containers within the Pod
      terminationGracePeriodSeconds: 10 # The period of time in seconds given to the Pod to terminate gracefully

注意的是
里面定义了两个容器
1个是主容器springboot service cloud-order
另1个是容器 fluentd (镜像来自于本文第1步的构建）
而且我们定义了1个emptydir 的volume, 分别map在两个containers 中

而且sidecar 容器还map了另1个configmap的卷以读取 fluentd.conf 配置

测试

容器启动后

可以用如下命令分别查看pod 两个容器的日志
kubectl logs deployment-cloud-order-54cd5db8f-7rdmq -c 容器名字

如果日志没问题，就直接查看bigquery 的table
