System calls never lie: New integrated troubleshooting in Sysdig Monitor
Blog post from Sysdig
Sysdig Monitor has enhanced its capabilities by integrating with Sysdig Inspect, facilitating more efficient troubleshooting of container issues in production environments. This integration enables users to automatically trigger Sysdig capture files upon any alert condition, providing comprehensive system call and OS event data to aid in root cause analysis. By eliminating the need to log into production hosts or transfer files across tools, the combined platform offers significant time savings and a streamlined process for identifying and resolving problems. Users can explore detailed summaries and metrics within Sysdig Inspect to diagnose issues, such as frequent Kubernetes pod restarts, by examining system calls and application activities. This approach speeds up troubleshooting efforts, as exemplified by quickly pinpointing the cause of a CrashLoopBackOff condition in a Kubernetes environment through intuitive navigation and analysis of capture files.
