This release brings more observability, stability and diversity on Spider agents:

  • Remote logs access
  • Backoff on failed attachments
  • Local agents

It also restores UDP capture that was failing lately.

DNS over UDP capture

· One min read

We had the need recently to capture DNS calls to try to get an idea why sometimes DNS resolving fails on Kube.
Except that Spider had a regression on UDP capture, and it was not any more possible to save UDP packets on the back office.

I fixed this and added a few quick features for DNS parsing.

Controller's improvements

· 3 min read

Here comes a new release of Spider Controller with a bunch of improvements:

  • Lists Gociphers & Sidecar Whisperers
  • Allows getting logs from Controller, Attachments, Sidecars & Gociphers
  • Provides Sidecar Whisperers to Gociphers to allow TLS deciphering on their captured data
  • When an Ephemeral Whisperer fails twice in 5 minutes, the Controller stops restarting it to avoid overloading the POD manifest
