Kubernetes host profiles and runtime alerts could use different host identifiers or evaluate a required baseline before learning completed. Resolve one immutable host generation, wait for it before host monitoring, carry it through profile labels and alert metadata, and require the matching learned baseline for canonical host rules.

Validation: six affected host packages passed focused tests with GOWORK=off; make binary passed with read-only modules and CGO disabled. Earlier independent review covers the unchanged feature implementation.

Depends on the shared identity contract (armoapi-go v0.0.764-0.20260922191020-df11e21af4b3). Published feature pin: v0.3.242-0.20260923060932-0376a7a74a74. Standalone host behavior remains covered by compatibility tests; live-cluster results for the complete candidate are described below.

Merge/release order: shared armoapi contract first; node-agent and PostgreSQL next; ingester, dashboard and private node-agent after their dependencies; frontend after the serving backend. Go pseudo-version pins currently reference these published feature commits. After dependency PRs merge/release, update consumer pins to the accepted merged commits or release versions and rerun standalone checks before merging consumers.

Review series: armoapi-go #710, node-agent #982, postgres-connector #1658, event-ingester-service #2372, cadashboardbe #3121, armo-ng-app #4255, private-node-agent #617.

Live validation of the complete candidate on the designated Kubernetes test cluster passed: authenticated Inventory progressed from learning to completed, and AP details exposed 76 learned syscalls. After restarting the actual agent Pod, its Pod UID changed while the canonical host key, selected profile child, resource version and profile checksum remained unchanged.

A probe using the production profile storage/cache, RuleManager and CEL evaluator passed known-versus-unseen syscall decisions before and after that restart. Events were synthetic fixtures: this proves baseline lookup and rule decisions, not kernel-triggered alert export. The local fixture build used a custom version that produced RulesWatcher semantic-version warnings, so installed rule-binding delivery and exported alerts are not claimed; the cache/CEL probe used explicit valid rule versions independently. No live bare-metal or destructive machine-replacement test is claimed.

Disabled keepalive passed a measurement covering at least 96.3 seconds: the exact database keepalive timestamp and broker counters remained unchanged (15 messages, 11,790 bytes). Rollback passed: the original agent, synchronizer and operator were restored to their recorded identities, templates and replica counts, each ready; the operator was restored last. Canonical test Kubernetes profile copies were removed after backup and absence/quiescence checks passed, while the original legacy profile and completed history in the isolated backend were preserved.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added Kubernetes-aware host identity support for host monitoring.
    • Host profiles, labels, and exported alerts can include verified Kubernetes host and cluster details.
    • Host container events are shared after identity verification, avoiding incomplete or duplicate data.
    • Host monitoring baselines are associated with the verified Kubernetes host identity.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented profiles and learned behavior from being reused when a node or machine identity changes.
    • Improved recovery when Kubernetes API or host identity resolution is temporarily unavailable.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The agent resolves a Kubernetes host identity from cluster and node data, then uses it in host container events, profiles, baseline evaluation, and HTTP alert payloads.

Changes

Kubernetes host identity

Layer / File(s) Summary
Identity contract and resolution
pkg/config/config.go, pkg/hostidentity/*, cmd/main.go, go.mod
The agent creates a coordinator that validates the Kubernetes node and mounted machine ID, retries identity resolution, and exposes the result through configuration.
Host notification gating
pkg/containerwatcher/v2/*
Host container events wait for identity readiness. The watcher coalesces pending notifications and dispatches events according to delivery state.
Host data, profiles, and baseline evaluation
pkg/objectcache/shared_container_data.go, pkg/containerprofilemanager/v1/*, pkg/objectcache/containerprofilecache/*, pkg/rulemanager/*
Host data includes Kubernetes identity labels and profile annotations. Host profile caches use identity-derived generations, and required baseline checks apply to canonical Kubernetes hosts.
HTTP alert identity propagation
pkg/exporters/*, cmd/main.go
HTTP exporters receive the identity provider and attach a copied identity to payloads containing only host alerts when identity resolution succeeds.

Checked the remaining summary claims alongside the inline fixes. The required-baseline test setup is valid: it enables the CEL rule, supplies Host evaluation context and uses the real profile cache; all six cases pass on the current branch. No baseline-test change was warranted. Timeout and Stop fixes are in 0376a7a, with focused race tests, build and vet passing.
