Build Status

Skydive

Skydive is an open source real-time network topology and protocols analyzer. It aims to provide a comprehensive way of understanding what is happening in the network infrastructure.

Skydive agents collect topology informations and flows and forward them to a central agent for further analysis. All the informations are stored in an Elasticsearch database.

Skydive is SDN-agnostic but provides SDN drivers in order to enhance the topology and flows informations.

Key features

  • Captures network topology and flows
  • Full history of network topology and flows
  • Distributed
  • Ability to follow a flow along a path in the topology
  • Supports VMs and Containers infrastructure
  • Unified query language for topology and flows (Gremlin)
  • Web and command line interfaces
  • REST API
  • Easy to deploy (standalone executable)
  • Connectors to OpenStack, Docker, OpenContrail

Quick start

Docker Compose

To quick set up a working environment, Docker Compose can be used to automatically start an Elasticsearch container, a Skydive analyzer container and a Skydive agent container.

curl -o docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/skydive-project/skydive/master/contrib/docker/docker-compose.yml
docker-compose up

Open a browser to http://localhost:8082 to access the analyzer Web UI.

You can also use the Skydive command line client with:

docker run --net=host -ti skydive/skydive client topology query --gremlin "g.V()"

All-in-one

You can also download the latest release and use the all-in-one mode which will start an Agent and an Analyzer at once.

sudo skydive allinone [-c skydive.yml]
