Troubleshooting the Security Profiles Operator

Troubleshoot the Security Profiles Operator to diagnose a problem or provide information in a bug report.

Inspecting seccomp profiles

Corrupted seccomp profiles can disrupt your workloads. Ensure that the user cannot abuse the system by not allowing other workloads to map any part of the path /var/lib/kubelet/seccomp/operator.

Procedure

  1. Confirm that the profile is reconciled by running the following command:

    $ oc -n openshift-security-profiles logs openshift-security-profiles-<id>
    Example output 
    I1019 19:34:14.942464       1 main.go:90] setup "msg"="starting openshift-security-profiles"  "buildDate"="2020-10-19T19:31:24Z" "compiler"="gc" "gitCommit"="a3ef0e1ea6405092268c18f240b62015c247dd9d" "gitTreeState"="dirty" "goVersion"="go1.15.1" "platform"="linux/amd64" "version"="0.2.0-dev"

  2. Confirm that the seccomp profiles are saved into the correct path by running the following command:

    $ oc exec -t -n openshift-security-profiles openshift-security-profiles-<id> \
    -- ls /var/lib/kubelet/seccomp/operator/my-namespace/my-workload
    Example output
    profile-block.json
profile-complain.json
