Sysdig Sessions

Sysdig is a monitoring and security platform designed for containerized environments, Kubernetes, and cloud-native applications.

This page focuses on key questions to help you monitor your infrastructure, ensure compliance, and improve the performance of your cloud-native workloads.

Key areas of focus

Below are some useful questions to ask when managing your sysdig setup:

Infrastructure monitoring

• What is the current status of my Kubernetes clusters?
• Are there any pods or nodes experiencing high resource usage (CPU, memory, etc.)?
• How can I identify the containers with the highest network activity?
• Are there any performance issues with my services or workloads?

Security & compliance

• Are there any detected vulnerabilities in my container images?
• What runtime security policies are in place, and are they effective?
• Have there been any policy violations or anomalous behaviors recently?
• How do I check for compliance with industry standards like PCI DSS or SOC 2?

Log & event analysis

• What are the most common events or alerts across my environment?
• Are there any specific containers or workloads generating excessive logs or errors?
• How do I correlate logs, events, and metrics to troubleshoot an issue?
• Can I get a timeline of incidents that occurred in my environment?

Cost & resource optimization

• What is the current cost breakdown of my infrastructure usage?
• Are there any underutilized or idle containers that can be scaled down?
• How do I optimize resource allocation across my clusters?

Integration & automation

• What integrations are configured with Sysdig, and are they active?
• How can I use Sysdig to automate alerting or incident response?
• Can I streamline workflows by integrating Sysdig with other tools like Slack or PagerDuty?
