Configuration

System configuration​

System configuration is managed in the values.yaml file and deployed by Helm.

Whisperer management​

Whisperers are Spider capture agents.
They are capturing the network communications of your systems and sending them to the server.

  • They are created and managed completely on the UI.
  • They have many configuration options to best suit your capture needs and load.
  • They also offer extraction features to help Spider extract the business out of your communications. In order to integrate the business knowledge into Spider analysis tools.
  • They may be deployed:
    • manually
    • by Kubernetes manifests (Infra as Code)
    • by Spider Docker Swarm watchdog (Declarative mode)
    • by Spider Kubernetes Controllers (see below)

Controllers management​

Controllers are Spider deployment agents.
They are used to deploy and manage Whisperers remotely. For now, only on Kubernetes.

  • They are created on the UI
  • But they need to be deployed manually (through Helm)
  • They have various access rights and sharing options managed on the UI
