kustomize-graph is a tool that will generate a dependency graph of your kustomize structure.
Builds are available on the releases page.
kustomize-graph outputs a graph in DOT. To visualize a DOT graph, graphviz is recommended.
After installing, a graph can be generated by piping the output of kustomize-graph into DOT.
kustomize-graph | dot -Tsvg > graph.svg
NOTE: You should run kustomize-graph in the same working directory that you would run kustomize in.
Using the multibases example from the kustomize repository
multibases ├── base │ ├── kustomization.yaml │ └── pod.yaml ├── dev │ └── kustomization.yaml ├── kustomization.yaml ├── production │ └── kustomization.yaml └── staging └── kustomization.yaml
# multibases/base/kustomization.yaml
resources:
- pod.yaml
NOTE: While the folder structure that produced this graph contains a pod.yaml in the base directory, the generated graph will only show the folder.
If only the folder is shown, it can be inferred that all .yaml files in the directory are defined in the kustomization.yaml file.
Taking the same example as above, if a file is NOT defined in kustomization.yaml, it is annotated in the node.

# multibases/base/kustomization.yaml
