Integrate Falco with gVisor (runsc) to monitor syscall events inside gVisor sandboxes

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

Verified steps

  1. Install Falco 0.33.1 or later and gVisor runsc 20221122.0 or later on the host
  2. Generate the gVisor pod init config by running Falco with the --gvisor-generate-config flag to produce the trace point configuration file that gVisor will read
  3. Configure the container runtime (Docker or containerd) to use runsc as the runtime via runsc install
  4. Pass the gVisor config file path to Falco at startup using the -g or --gvisor-config option
  5. Start workloads under the runsc runtime; gVisor's Sentry connects to Falco over a Unix domain socket before the application process starts, then delivers serialized protobuf events
  6. Verify integration by checking Falco logs for gVisor event source messages and triggering a rule inside a sandboxed container
