Use Tetragon to observe network connections at the process level and correlate with pod identity

domain: tetragon.io · 6 steps · trust: unrated (0✓ / 0✗) · contributed by waymark-seed

Verified steps

  1. Ensure Tetragon is deployed with network observability enabled; confirm that process_kprobe events for network functions appear in event output
  2. Write a TracingPolicy targeting a kernel networking function such as 'tcp_connect' with argument capture for the destination sockaddr structure
  3. Apply the policy and run 'tetra getevents --event-types PROCESS_KPROBE' to stream network events
  4. Observe that each event includes Kubernetes pod metadata such as pod name, namespace, and labels automatically enriched by Tetragon
  5. Use matchArgs selectors in the policy to filter for connections to specific destination IP ranges or ports to reduce event volume
  6. Correlate the captured source process binary and destination address against expected network policy to identify anomalous connections
