Steps

  1. Deploy Falcosidekick via its Helm chart and configure the `config.yaml` with target outputs such as Slack, webhook, or Elasticsearch
  2. Set Falco's `json_output: true` and `json_include_output_property: true` in `falco.yaml` so alerts are machine-readable
  3. Point Falco's `http_output` to the Falcosidekick service URL (default port 2801)
  4. Configure output-specific sections in the Falcosidekick values file with credentials or endpoints for each sink
  5. Deploy Falcosidekick-UI alongside if a web dashboard is needed; it connects to the same Falcosidekick instance
  6. Verify delivery by triggering a test event with `falco --list` or a known-bad container and checking the downstream sink
