Cluster Infrastructure Assessments

Cluster Infrastructure Assessment Reports under Security > Cluster Security > Infrastructure Assessments show cluster-wide infrastructure security assessments for cluster resources (e.g. nodes). Unlike Namespace Infrastructure Assessments, the scope is the whole cluster. You can open each report to see failed checks, descriptions, and remediation steps. Reports are generated by Trivy.

Cluster Infrastructure Assessment Reports​

The page title is Cluster Infrastructure Assessment Reports, with a short description: Cluster-wide infrastructure security assessments for cluster resources.

Table​

Use the Columns control above the table to choose which columns are visible. The table includes:

ColumnDescription
NameName of the assessed cluster resource (e.g. a node such as node-…compute.internal).
CriticalNumber of critical findings.
HighNumber of high-severity findings.
MediumNumber of medium-severity findings.
LowNumber of low-severity findings.
Total ChecksTotal number of checks run.
Last UpdatedDate and time of the last assessment (may be empty).

Each row has an eye icon (or similar) at the end to open Assessment Details. Pagination at the bottom (e.g. "Rows per page: 25", "1–11 of 11") and navigation arrows let you move through the list.

Assessment Details​

When you open an assessment from the list, the breadcrumbs show Security > Cluster Security > Cluster Infrastructure Assessments > Assessment Details.

  • Resource — The assessed cluster resource (e.g. a node identified as …compute.internal or similar) with a Cluster scope indicator.
  • Scan summary — Scope: Cluster, Checks (total), Passed, Failed (e.g. "Checks: 4 Passed: 0 Failed: 4"), Scanner and version (e.g. Trivy v0.29.0).
  • Severity counts — Badges for Critical, High, Medium, Low (e.g. "0 Critical", "4 High").

Security Checks Table​

Above the table you can filter by Severity (e.g. "All severities") and Status (e.g. "All"). The Columns button (e.g. "Columns 5") customizes visible columns.

The table lists each finding with:

ColumnDescription
Check IDIdentifier of the check (e.g. KCV0069, KCV0073, KCV0086, KCV0077). Rows can be expanded to show full details.
TitleShort title (e.g. "Ensure that the kubelet service file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive", "Ensure that the -kubeconfig kubelet.conf file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive").
CategoryCategory of the check (e.g. "Kubernetes Security Check").
SeveritySeverity level (e.g. High), often with color.
StatusResult (e.g. Fail), often with an icon.

Expand a row to see:

  • Description — Why the check matters (e.g. the kubelet service file should have restrictive permissions).
  • Messages — Concrete instance (e.g. which file or setting is involved).
  • Remediation — What to change, including specific paths where applicable (e.g. set permissions of /etc/systemd/system/kubelet.service.d/10-kubeadm.conf to 600 or more restrictive, or adjust kubelet config file permissions).

Use this view to understand each finding and apply the suggested remediation on the cluster nodes. Pagination at the bottom (e.g. "1–4 of 4", "Rows per page: 25") applies when there are many findings.
