ingraind is a security monitoring agent built around RedBPF for complex containerized environments and endpoints, using eBPF probes to provide safe and performant instrumentation for any Linux-based environment.
One-Minute Overview#
ingraind is a monitoring agent designed specifically for containerized environments and endpoints that uses eBPF technology to provide system-level security monitoring. It helps you monitor customer data security, infrastructure status, and resource usage, detecting unusual behaviors like data leaks, attacks, and malicious activities.
Core Value: Provides low-overhead, high-performance system-level security monitoring capabilities in complex Linux environments.
Quick Start#
Installation Difficulty: Medium - Requires Rust toolchain, LLVM/Clang 9+, Linux kernel headers, and capnproto
# Build and install
$ cargo build --release
Is this right for me?
- ✅ Scenarios requiring system-level security monitoring in containerized environments
- ✅ Enterprise environments needing detection of data leaks, attacks, and malware
- ❌ New users without eBPF and Linux kernel knowledge
- ❌ Windows environments (Linux only)
Core Capabilities#
1. System Behavior Monitoring#
- Real-time monitoring of system calls, network activities, and file access through eBPF probes Actual Value: Comprehensive system behavior visibility without application modification
2. Security Event Detection#
- Monitors potential security threats such as data exfiltration, abnormal access patterns, and malicious activities Actual Value: Quick detection of internal threats and external attacks, improving security response times
3. Container Environment Support#
- Provides fine-grained monitoring in container orchestration environments like Kubernetes Actual Value: Maintains consistent monitoring strategies across hybrid and multi-cloud environments
