Policy Violations

When OPA Gatekeeper policies (Constraints & Constraint Templates) are defined and deployed to clusters, resources are validated during:

  • Admission Requests: whenever a resource in the cluster is created, updated or deleted
  • Audit Runs: periodic evaluation of already deployed resources

The controller captures detailed audit logs for both Admission requests and Audit Runs making it easier for customers to orchestrate new policies.

Violations - Admission Requests

Users can view violations for Admission requests either by navigating to SYSTEM -> Audit Logs -> OPA Tab or through the Dashboard.
