Omnis KlearSight Sensor for Kubernetes

NETSCOUT’s Omnis® KlearSight Sensor for Kubernetes solution is a new standard in cloud observability, filling the visibility gap in on-premise and cloud Kubernetes deployments. Using extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) technology, Omnis KlearSight Sensor overcomes a blind spot in end-to-end observability enabling IT organizations to better pinpoint true root cause of problems throughout the communications path, including those that originate in a Kubernetes environment.

As part of NETSCOUT’s nGenius solution for observability, the Omnis® KlearSight Sensor for Kubernetes integrates NETSCOUT's Adaptive Service Intelligence™ (ASI) technology into Kubernetes environments, delivering continuous, end-to-end, service level visibility for performance and availability. It extracts packets using eBPF technology, enabling targeted monitoring of applications in both Enterprise and Service Provider settings.

Acting like a virtual TAP, the Omnis KlearSight Sensor monitors traffic to and from any containerized network function or node interface, automatically adapting to Kubernetes topology changes. It merges captured packet data with context-aware metadata, enriching the deep packet/protocol insights powered by ASI smart data for analysis and visualization in nGeniusONE. Omnis KlearSight Sensor captures Kubernetes packets and SSL messages that have already been decrypted by the Linux kernel. It converts this traffic into standard IT data for NETSCOUT ASI processing without accessing or requiring encryption keys.

Omnis KlearSight Sensor for Kubernetes is uniquely capable of being deployed in enterprise or service provider environments and in a variety of different areas: public clouds, private clouds, and on-premises infrastructure.
