About NetObserv
NetObserv is layering TLS visibility and health alerting on top of its eBPF flow pipeline.
NetObserv ships roughly monthly as a coordinated bundle — operator, eBPF agent, flowlogs-pipeline and console plugin move together in each release. The functional work over these six releases splits three ways: a TLS visibility feature that arrived as a knob in 1.11.3 and has been extended with metrics and alerts since, a Network Health layer built on Prometheus recording rules rather than alerts alone, and steady hardening of the agent-to-pipeline path (mTLS, hot-reload filters, packet translation and sampling fixes). Prometheus is now on by default.
