⁠OpenRCA

⁠
Root Cause Analysis for Kubernetes

OpenRCA attempts to facilitate root cause inference of issues emerging in Kubernetes clusters. By constructing a real-time cluster topology graph enriched with telemetry data obtained from integrated telemetry sources (Prometheus, Elasticsearch, Falco, Istio, and others), provides operators with a powerful analytical toolkit for dealing with daily application failures, bottlenecks, and misconfigurations. Moreover, it comes with algorithms that leverage the collected graph data to pinpoint sources of complex cluster defects.

⁠Objectives

• Real-time cluster topology visualization
• Integration hub for telemetry data (Prometheus, Elasticsearch, Falco, Istio, and others)
• Post-mortem analysis
• Automated root cause inference
• Diagnostics framework for common applications (databases, load balancers, message queues)
• Site reliability engineering and chaos testing

⁠Installation

Install using Helm chart:

$ helm install ./helm/orca --namespace rca --name orca

⁠Usage

⁠Dashboard

Port-forward the dashboard for access via the web browser:

$ kubectl -n rca port-forward svc/orca-ui 8080

The dashboard should be available at http://localhost:8080⁠.
