Kubeshark

You can capture, visualize, and analyze real-time network traffic within your cluster. The platform enables you to write custom filters using KFL2 and CEL expressions to isolate specific packets, facilitating deep inspection of microservice communication and rapid identification of network-related performance bottlenecks.

Kubeshark is designed for site reliability engineers, platform engineers, and network administrators managing complex containerized environments. These professionals use the platform to debug service-to-service communication, verify security policies, and troubleshoot connectivity issues that are otherwise invisible within standard cluster monitoring dashboards.

To utilize these capabilities, you must have an active Kubernetes cluster with sufficient permissions to deploy the observer pods. The environment requires standard access to the cluster control plane to intercept traffic, and users should be familiar with CEL syntax to effectively leverage the filtering engine.
