# The API Traffic Viewer for Kubernetes
A simple-yet-powerful API traffic viewer for Kubernetes to help you troubleshoot and debug your microservices. Think TCPDump and Chrome Dev Tools combined.
![Simple UI](assets/mizu-ui.png)
## Features
- Simple and powerful CLI
- Real time view of all HTTP requests, REST and gRPC API calls
- No installation or code instrumentation
- Works completely on premises (on-prem)
## Download
Download `mizu` for your platform and operating system
### Latest stable release
* for MacOS - Intel
```
curl -Lo mizu \
https://github.com/up9inc/mizu/releases/latest/download/mizu_darwin_amd64 \
&& chmod 755 mizu
```
* for Linux - Intel 64bit
```
curl -Lo mizu \
https://github.com/up9inc/mizu/releases/latest/download/mizu_linux_amd64 \
&& chmod 755 mizu
```
SHA256 checksums are available on the [Releases](https://github.com/up9inc/mizu/releases) page.
### Development (unstable) build
Pick one from the [Releases](https://github.com/up9inc/mizu/releases) page.
## Prerequisites
1. Set `KUBECONFIG` environment variable to your kubernetes configuration. If this is not set, mizu assumes that configuration is at `${HOME}/.kube/config`
2. mizu needs following permissions on your kubernetes cluster to run
```yaml
- apiGroups:
- ""
resources:
- pods
verbs:
- list
- watch
- create
- apiGroups:
- ""
resources:
- services
verbs:
- create
- apiGroups:
- apps
resources:
- daemonsets
verbs:
- create
- patch
- apiGroups:
- ""
resources:
- namespaces
verbs:
- list
- watch
- create
- delete
- apiGroups:
- ""
resources:
- services/proxy
verbs:
- get
```
3. Optionally, for resolving traffic ip to kubernetes service name, mizu needs below permissions
```yaml
- apiGroups:
- ""
resources:
- pods
verbs:
- get
- apiGroups:
- ""
resources:
- services
verbs:
- get
- list
- watch
- apiGroups:
- apps
- extensions
resources:
- pods
verbs:

- list

- apiGroups:
- apps
- extensions
resources:
- services
verbs:
- get
- list
- watch
- apiGroups:
- ""
- apps
- extensions
resources:
- endpoints
verbs:
- get
- list
- watch
- apiGroups:
- ""
resources:
- serviceaccounts
verbs:
- get
- create
- apiGroups:
- rbac.authorization.k8s.io
resources:
- clusterroles
verbs:
- list
- create
- delete
- apiGroups:
- rbac.authorization.k8s.io
resources:
- clusterrolebindings
verbs:
- list
- create
- delete
```
See `examples/roles` for example `clusterroles`.
## How to run
1. Find pods you'd like to tap to in your Kubernetes cluster
2. Run `mizu tap PODNAME` or `mizu tap REGEX`
3. Open browser on `http://localhost:8899/mizu` **or** as instructed in the CLI ..
4. Watch the API traffic flowing ..
5. Type ^C to stop
## Examples
Run `mizu help` for usage options
To tap specific pod -
```
$ kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
front-end-649fc5fd6-kqbtn 2/2 Running 0 7m
..
$ mizu tap front-end-649fc5fd6-kqbtn
+front-end-649fc5fd6-kqbtn
Web interface is now available at http://localhost:8899
^C
```
To tap multiple pods using regex -
```
$ kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
carts-66c77f5fbb-fq65r 2/2 Running 0 20m
catalogue-5f4cb7cf5-7zrmn 2/2 Running 0 20m
front-end-649fc5fd6-kqbtn 2/2 Running 0 20m
..
$ mizu tap "^ca.*"
+carts-66c77f5fbb-fq65r
+catalogue-5f4cb7cf5-7zrmn
Web interface is now available at http://localhost:8899
^C
```
