Overview

This check monitors KubeVirt Controller through the Datadog Agent.

Setup

Follow the instructions below to install and configure this check for an Agent running on a host. For containerized environments, see the Autodiscovery Integration Templates for guidance on applying these instructions.

Installation

The KubeVirt Controller check is included in the Datadog Agent package. No additional installation is needed on your server.

Configuration

The main use case to run the kubevirt_controller check is as a cluster level check.

In order to do that, you will need to update some RBAC permissions to give the datadog-agent service account read-only access to theKubeVirt resources by following the steps below:

1. Bind the kubevirt.io:view ClusterRole to the datadog-agent service account:

apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
  name: datadog-agent-kubevirt
roleRef:
  apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
  kind: ClusterRole
  name: kubevirt.io:view
subjects:
  - kind: ServiceAccount
  name: datadog-agent
  namespace: default

2. Annotate the pods template of your virt-controller deployment by patching the KubeVirt resource as follows:

apiVersion: kubevirt.io/v1
kind: KubeVirt
metadata:
  name: kubevirt
  namespace: kubevirt
spec:
  certificateRotateStrategy: {}
  configuration: {}
  customizeComponents:
    patches:
    - resourceType: Deployment
        resourceName: virt-controller
        patch: '{"spec": {"template":{"metadata":{"annotations":{ "ad.datadoghq.com/virt-controller.check_names": "[\"kubevirt_controller\"]", "ad.datadoghq.com/virt-controller.init_configs": "[{}]", "ad.datadoghq.com/virt-controller.instances": "[{ \"kubevirt_controller_metrics_endpoint\": \"https://%%host%%:%%port%%/metrics\",\"kubevirt_controller_healthz_endpoint\": \"https://%%host%%:%%port%%/healthz\", \"kube_namespace\":\"%%kube_namespace%%\", \"kube_pod_name\":\"%%kube_pod_name%%\", \"tls_verify\": \"false\"}]"}}}}}'
        type: strategic

Replace <DD_CLUSTER_NAME> with the name you want for your cluster.

Validation

Run the Cluster Agent’s clusterchecks subcommand inside your Cluster Agent container and look for the kubevirt_controller check under the Checks section.
