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

Verified steps

  1. Write a TracingPolicy manifest with apiVersion 'cilium.io/v1alpha1' and kind 'TracingPolicy' targeting a kernel function used in process execution such as 'security_bprm_check'
  2. Set the 'kprobes' array entry with the function name and define which arguments to capture using the 'args' list with index, type, and label fields
  3. Add a 'selectors' block to filter events by binary path using a 'matchBinaries' selector with the 'values' list of full binary paths to monitor
  4. Apply the TracingPolicy to the cluster with kubectl apply and confirm the CRD is accepted without validation errors
  5. Run 'tetra getevents' to stream process events and filter for exec events matching your target binary
  6. Verify captured events include the expected process metadata such as binary path, arguments, and pod context
