Quickstart - Hubble in 3 Minutes or Less

0. Requirements

• minikube
• kubectl
• Helm v3

1. Start minikube

minikube start --network-plugin=cni

2. Deploy Cilium

Deploy Cilium with Hubble enabled:

wget https://github.com/cilium/cilium/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
cd cilium-master
helm install cilium ./install/kubernetes/cilium \
  --namespace kube-system \
  --set global.hubble.enabled=true \
  --set global.hubble.cli.enabled=true \
  --set global.hubble.cli.image.tag=latest

Make sure cilium and hubble-cli pods are in ready state before proceeding:

kubectl get ds -n kube-system cilium hubble-cli

The output should look something like this:

NAME         DESIRED   CURRENT   READY   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   NODE SELECTOR   AGE
cilium       1         1         1       1            1           <none>          3m59s
hubble-cli   1         1         1       1            1           <none>          3m59s

3. Using the hubble CLI

Now you are ready to start observing flows:

kubectl exec -n kube-system -t -c hubble-cli ds/hubble-cli -- hubble observe -f
