kube hunter unable to dispatch report to m9sweeper

[Suma Goud B]

Below is the error, I tried service and also direct fqdn, both resulted in same error.

Installed kube hunter with helm as shown below. m9sweeper and kube hunter are in same namespace.

helm repo add m9sweeper https://m9sweeper.github.io/m9sweeper && \
helm repo update && \
helm upgrade --install kube-hunter m9sweeper/kube-hunter \
  -n m9sweeper--create-namespace \
  --set-string dispatchUrl='m9sweeper-dash:3000/api/kubehunter/hunter/1/?key=xxxx' \
  --set-string cronjob.schedule="0 0 * * *" \
  --set cronjob.enabled=true

Ok, I see the problem is URL should start with a protocol, http:// ot https:// , otherwise it will result in error. can you correct the documentation and installation instructions?

[Jacob Beasley]

Can you refer to where you're seeing the documentation that is incorrect, precisely?

[Suma Goud B]

after logging into the dash UI and clicking the install button in the kube hunter page.

[Jacob Beasley]

I think we have that fixed but not released. We're finalizing testing and then will release that fix.

[Jacob Beasley]

Can you also confirm what you have set as the base url when you installed m9sweeper?

[Suma Goud B]

here is what I used to make it work

http://m9sweeper-dash:3000/api/kubehunter/hunter/1/?key=${KUBE_HUNTER_API_KEY}

[Jacob Beasley]

The code actually uses an environment variable to determine the path it will use when templating out the helm install command for you. It just appends /api/kubehunter/hunter/{clusterid}/?kube=${KUBE_HUNTER_API_KEY} to the end of the baseUrl.

You set this environment variable when you deploy your application in your helm values. You can see it defaults to http://m9sweeper-dash.m9sweeper-system.svc:3000

https://github.com/m9sweeper/m9sweeper/blob/main/manifests/charts/m9sweeper/values.yaml#L32

[Jacob Beasley]

If you set it to something that doesn't include http:// then the template won't include http:// in front of it.

Got it
