Data Persistency
Storage Persistency
By default, Kubeshark employs ephemeral storage, as opposed to persistent storage. Consequently, all content will be lost in scenarios such as pod eviction, OOMkilled events, or any other circumstances that lead to pod restart.
While completely optional, to mitigate the risk of data loss, it is advisable to utilize persistent volume claims, thereby ensuring the use of persistent storage:
tap:
persistentStorage: true
storageClass: <pvc-class>Having said the above, Kubeshark will still record traffic the same way without persistent storage.
Long-Term Immutable Traffic Retention
It is recommended to export recorded traffic to external data stores, such as Google Cloud Storage (GCS) or AWS S3, to store traffic for extended periods in immutable data stores.
