NETSCOUT® SYSTEMS, INC., a leading provider of observability solutions, has launched an innovation tailored to meet the increasing requirements for comprehensive observability in complex cloud environments. As large, multi-cluster Kubernetes deployments grow, organisations grapple with visibility challenges and blind spots within their systems.
The Omnis® KlearSight Sensor for Kubernetes (KlearSight) offers deep, actionable, and real-time insights into system performance, health, and cost drivers. Specifically designed to support dynamic architectures, KlearSight excels in monitoring these environments due to its ability to capture packets directly from the Linux kernel's networking stack post-decryption. By converting this into standard IT traffic, organisations gain visibility into application-layer communications without needing encryption keys.
"Microservices running on a Kubernetes cluster generate multiple metrics, events, logs, and traces to provide some visibility across complex multicloud environments," explained Jim Frey, principal analyst at Omdia, though identifying incident root causes can resemble "searching for needles across multiple haystacks." He emphasised the value of packet-level visibility, especially for multicloud environments.
Derived from NETSCOUT's expertise in network traffic analysis and deep packet inspection, KlearSight utilises eBPF technology to extract packets from within the Linux kernel, enhancing observability and expediting incident response. This capability supports understanding system behaviour and swiftly troubleshooting anomalies or unusual patterns.
Phil Gray, AVP of product management at NETSCOUT, noted, "NETSCOUT has been delivering innovative observability and visibility solutions that address end-through-end performance challenges for decades. Our solutions are mission-critical to large enterprises across all industries, especially as AI and cloud complexity continue to accelerate."
NETSCOUT partners with diverse sectors, providing solutions that maintain digital infrastructures' resilience, ensuring that businesses can withstand disruptions through informed and rapid decision-making. Recently, NETSCOUT was recognised for leadership in network observability by the QKS Group's SPARK Matrix™: Network Observability and received the CRN Tech Innovators award for addressing remote office observability challenges with its cost-effective solutions.
