Mizu (by UP9) is now Kubeshark, read more about it here.

Kubeshark, the API Traffic Viewer for kubernetes, provides deep visibility and monitoring of all API traffic and payloads going in, out and across containers and pods inside a Kubernetes cluster.

Think of a combination of Chrome Dev Tools, TCPDump and Wireshark, re-invented for Kubernetes.

Download

Kubeshark uses a ~45MB pre-compiled executable binary to communicate with the Kubernetes API. We recommend downloading the kubeshark CLI by using one of these options:

• Choose the right binary, download and use directly from the latest stable release.

• Use the shell script below 👇 to automatically download the right binary for your operating system and CPU architecture:

sh <(curl -Ls https://kubeshark.co/install)

• Compile it from source using make command then use ./bin/kubeshark__ executable.

Run

Use the kubeshark CLI to capture and view streaming API traffic in real time.

kubeshark tap

Make sure you have access to https://hub.docker.com/

Make sure kubeshark executable in your PATH.

Select Pods

Monitoring a Specific Pod:

kubeshark tap catalogue-b87b45784-sxc8q

Monitoring a Set of Pods Using Regex:

Specify the Namespace

By default, Kubeshark targets the default namespace. To specify a different namespace:

The default strategy of Kubeshark waits for the new pods to be created. To simply tap all existing namespaces run:
