Review derived network policy rules for a container

This document (000020891) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.

Situation

When a deployed network policy is not working as expected, reviewing the derived network rules for the specific container can reveal the fully implemented rules.  The output includes the policy id, from, to, port, application, action, ingress and domain. 

Resolution

Derived Rule Column Definitions:

policy_idPolicy id as reported in the Console
fromsource IP
todestination IP
portprotocol and port, any equates to any combination of protocol/port
applicationlayer 7 application name
action

check_app=action against application

learn=learned rule

allow=permit traffic

violate=permit traffic but alert on it

deny=block traffic

ingress

True=traffic to

False=traffic from

domain

fqdn (IE: group with address=mail.yahoo.com will result in domain=mail.yahoo.com)

 

Obtain Derived Network Rule List

Login to the CLI

#  kubectl -n neuvector exec -it neuvector-manager-pod-name -- cli
# #neuvector-svc-controller.neuvector> login

Obtain a list of containers and get network rules for container

# admin#neuvector-svc-controller.neuvector> show container -c <container_name_substring>
# admin#neuvector-svc-controller.neuvector> show policy derived -c <container_id>

Exit CLI

# admin#neuvector-svc-controller.neuvector> logout
# #neuvector-svc-controller.neuvector> exit
