Kubeshark is an API Traffic Analyzer for Kubernetes providing real-time, protocol-level visibility into Kubernetes’ internal network, capturing and monitoring all traffic and payloads going in, out and across containers, pods, nodes and clusters.

Think TCPDump and Wireshark re-invented for Kubernetes

Homebrew :beer: users install Kubeshark CLI with:
