NETSCOUT Extends Visibility into Kubernetes Containers with Continuous Observability Innovation
The company’s latest offering — Omnis® KlearSight Sensor for Kubernetes (KlearSight) — delivers real-time, actionable insights into system performance, health, and cost drivers.
Helps organizations understand the “why” behind issues across private and public cloud environments
Bengaluru, October 24: NETSCOUT Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTCT), a global leader in observability, AIOps, cybersecurity, and DDoS protection solutions, today announced a new innovation to address organizations’ growing need for deep visibility within complex cloud environments. With the rise of large, multi-cluster Kubernetes deployments, enterprises face mounting challenges in managing visibility gaps and performance blind spots.
The company’s latest offering — Omnis® KlearSight Sensor for Kubernetes (KlearSight) — delivers real-time, actionable insights into system performance, health, and cost drivers. Designed for dynamic and distributed architectures, KlearSight captures Kubernetes packets and SSL messages directly from the Linux kernel’s networking stack after decryption, converting them into standard IT traffic. This approach enables application-layer visibility without requiring access to encryption keys.
By extending visibility into Kubernetes-based environments, KlearSight helps organizations optimize infrastructure, improve reliability, and accelerate troubleshooting.
“Microservices running on a Kubernetes cluster generate multiple metrics, events, logs, and traces to provide some visibility across complex multi-cloud environments,” said Jim Frey, Principal Analyst at Omdia. “However, the real source of truth lies in packets. Enterprise-wide visibility — including in Kubernetes — is essential for faster diagnosis, improved AI-driven observability, and smarter decision-making.”
Developed using NETSCOUT’s deep expertise in network traffic analysis, deep packet inspection (DPI), and real-time traffic intelligence, KlearSight leverages extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) technology to extract granular data from within the Linux kernel. The solution enhances observability, enabling IT teams to move beyond monitoring what happens toward understanding why incidents occur — including identifying subtle anomalies that often go unnoticed.
“NETSCOUT has been delivering innovative visibility solutions addressing end-to-end performance challenges for decades,” said Phil Gray, AVP, Product Management, NETSCOUT. “As AI and cloud complexity continue to expand, our mission remains clear — to keep the connected world running and help enterprises stay resilient against disruptions.”
NETSCOUT’s observability leadership was recently recognized in the QKS Group’s SPARK Matrix™: Network Observability, Q3 2025, and the company also received the CRN Tech Innovators Award for overcoming remote-office observability challenges with its cost-effective nGenius Edge Sensors.
