FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze Kubernetes pod-to-pod traffic with TLS decryption for troubleshooting?

Kubernetes traffic analysis with TLS decryption captures pod-to-pod communications to diagnose service latency and dropped connections. It inspects L4/L7 traffic and exports pcaps for offline analysis across east-west cluster scenarios.

Can I inspect service latency and dropped connections across east-west traffic in Kubernetes?

Yes, Kubernetes traffic analysis inspects east-west pod-to-pod traffic to diagnose performance issues like service latency and dropped connections. It provides real-time and historical flow summaries with pod-to-service mapping.

Do I need Kubeshark installed via Helm to analyze pod traffic with an MCP endpoint?

Yes, Kubernetes traffic analysis requires a Kubeshark MCP endpoint URL and a Kubernetes cluster with Kubeshark installed via Helm. Install Kubeshark with MCP enabled to start capturing and analyzing pod traffic.

How do I export pcap files from Kubernetes traffic analysis for offline inspection?

Kubernetes traffic analysis supports TLS decryption and pcap export for offline analysis. Capture encrypted pod-to-pod communications, decrypt the traffic, and export the results to pcap files for external inspection.

What is the best way to map pod-to-service communications across multiple Kubernetes clusters?

Kubernetes traffic analysis provides L4/L7 traffic inspection and service mapping across clusters. It captures real-time and historical flow summaries to map pod-to-service communications and troubleshoot performance issues.

Does Kubernetes traffic analysis support TLS decryption for encrypted communications?

Yes, Kubernetes traffic analysis supports TLS decryption for encrypted pod-to-pod communications. It decrypts TLS-enabled traffic to provide deep visibility for troubleshooting and capacity planning.
