NETSCOUT SYSTEMS, INC., a leader in observability, AIOps, cybersecurity, and DDoS protection, has launched the Omnis® KlearSight Sensor for Kubernetes, a cutting-edge solution addressing visibility challenges in complex cloud environments. Designed for large, multi-cluster Kubernetes deployments, KlearSight delivers deep, actionable insights into system performance, health, and cost drivers, tackling blind spots in dynamic, encrypted architectures.
The Omnis KlearSight Sensor leverages NETSCOUT’s expertise in deep packet inspection (DPI) and real-time traffic analysis, using extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) technology to extract packets directly from the Linux kernel’s networking stack. This approach provides low-overhead, granular visibility into Kubernetes environments, enabling IT teams to move beyond mere monitoring to understanding the root causes of performance issues, anomalies, and cost inefficiencies. Deployed as a Daemon Set across Kubernetes worker nodes, it monitors cluster topology and forwards targeted service traffic to NETSCOUT’s InfiniStreamNG or vSTREAM for analysis via Adaptive Service Intelligence (ASI) technology.
“Microservices running on a Kubernetes cluster generate multiple metrics, events, logs, and traces to provide some visibility across complex multi-cloud environments,” said Jim Frey, principal analyst at Omdia. “However, searching through telemetry data streams to determine the root cause of an incident can be like searching for multiple needles across multiple haystacks. The ultimate source of truth lies in packets, and organizations can only benefit by establishing this level of visibility enterprise-wide, including the cloud and Kubernetes environments.”
This solution is critical as Kubernetes deployments scale, creating challenges in encrypted environments where traditional tools struggle. KlearSight’s ability to capture decrypted traffic ensures comprehensive observability, supporting both enterprise and service provider settings across public and private clouds.
As shown in the finance card above, NETSCOUT (NASDAQ: NTCT) has a market cap of $1.92 billion, with a current stock price of $26.48 USD, up from $25.83 a month ago and $21.03 a year ago, reflecting steady growth.
