pie

An application that monitors the availability of Kubernetes storage in end-to-end manner.

Description

pie verifies that PVs are successfully provisioned on the specified nodes for the specified storage classes and that the PVs can be successfully accessed. It outputs the results as metrics.

Supported environments

• Kubernetes: 1.31, 1.30, 1.29

Getting Started

Running on the cluster

1. Install pie using Helm:

   helm repo add pie https://topolvm.github.io/pie
   helm install pie
2. Create a PieProbe resource:

   cat <<EOS | kubectl apply -f -
   apiVersion: pie.topolvm.io/v1alpha1
   kind: PieProbe
   metadata:
     name: pieprobe
   spec:
     monitoringStorageClass: YOUR-STORAGE-CLASS-NAME # This field is mandatory.
     # All other fields are optional.
     nodeSelector:
       nodeSelectorTerms:
       - matchExpressions:
       - key: foo
         operator: DoesNotExist
     probePeriod: 1
     probeThreshold: 10s
   EOS
