Product In-Depth: Magalix KubeNotifier

KubeNotifier is how we let you know something isn’t right with your policy compliance. Workloads are dynamic and Kubernetes operators need to know when violations occur. On Production clusters, you wouldn’t want to install risky workloads. When a new violation is discovered, your team needs to be notified so that they can assess risk immediately. Not following standards can leave you open to attack so knowing when entities are in violation allows operators to get an understanding of their compliance state and assess risk accordingly.

KubeNotifier Lets you Know When Violations Happen in Real-Time

Alert channels can get noisy. In many cases, alerts become so common they are simply ignored and that can make it difficult to identify major incidents from minor ones. With KubeNotifier, filter by the types of events you want to receive and get as granular as you’d like. If you want to be notified for all “Containers running as root” policy violations occurring on cluster “dev-cluster”,  set up multiple filters for the Event Set, and get notified in your configured Slack channel anytime those conditions are met.

Send Events Where they Need to Go

Tracing an event requires visibility into the lifecycle of that event. If a workload is somehow scheduled onto your cluster and does not adhere to the requirements your team and org have set forth, you will need to know. Depending on those requirements, some events may warrant additional and immediate attention when triggered.  A single misconfiguration could result in a complete compromise of a node.

Magalix provides native integrations with your favorite tools. We are using similar, if not the same tools as you are so we know which systems Magalix will need to integrate with. Custom integrations are also available for organizations that have data ingestion endpoints, or SIEMs.

Conclusion

KubeNotifier allows custom event notification to an output of your choice. Know when your Kubernetes objects are violating one of a hundred-plus out-of-the-box policies, or an infinite amount of custom policies, in real-time. Native integrations with popular communication tools makes integration with your existing alerting workflow simple and painless. Our goal is to bridge the gap between Dev, Ops, and Sec by introducing policy enforcement the DevOps way.
