NETSCOUT’s mission is to keep the connected world running by helping enterprises, service providers, and government agencies make smarter, data-driven decisions.
NETSCOUT Systems, Inc., a global leader in network observability, AIOps, cybersecurity, and DDoS protection, today announced a breakthrough innovation that extends end-to-end visibility into Kubernetes environments. This milestone strengthens NETSCOUT’s leadership in cloud-native observability, helping organizations gain actionable insights and address growing complexity across multi-cloud and hybrid cloud infrastructures.
With the exponential rise of containerized applications and large-scale Kubernetes clusters, enterprises are facing critical visibility gaps that hinder performance, reliability, and cost optimization. NETSCOUT’s new solution bridges these gaps with deep packet–level visibility, AI-powered analytics, and continuous observability across distributed environments.
Introducing Omnis KlearSight Sensor for Kubernetes
The newly launched Omnis KlearSight Sensor for Kubernetes (KlearSight) delivers real-time observability, empowering IT and DevOps teams to monitor system health, optimize cost drivers, and diagnose performance issues faster.
KlearSight provides deep visibility into encrypted Kubernetes traffic by capturing packets and SSL messages directly from the Linux kernel’s networking stack after decryption. This allows for full application-layer visibility without the need for encryption keys — a major advancement for secure cloud observability. By converting this low-level network data into standard IT traffic intelligence, KlearSight helps organizations gain actionable insights into Kubernetes workloads, improving cloud reliability, infrastructure performance, and resource efficiency.
“NETSCOUT has been innovating observability and visibility solutions that solve end-through-end performance challenges for decades. As enterprises scale AI workloads and adopt hybrid cloud environments, our mission is to provide the visibility and intelligence they need to stay resilient, secure, and efficient,” said Phil Gray, AVP of Product Management, NETSCOUT.
Built on NETSCOUT’s decades of innovation in network traffic analysis and deep packet inspection (DPI), KlearSight leverages extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) technology to extract rich data directly from the Linux kernel. This enables low-overhead, real-time data collection for both system and application-level performance. IT teams can move beyond basic monitoring to understand the “why” behind performance issues, uncover anomalies, and improve AI observability models across distributed Kubernetes clusters.
