About:
Hubble is a network, service, and security observability platform built for Kubernetes. It leverages eBPF to provide deep, filterable visibility into network traffic and application behavior without requiring application changes. Its main value is enabling real-time monitoring, security forensics, and dependency mapping in cloud-native environments.
Key Features:
  • Network flow monitoring with Layer 7 protocol visibility
  • Service dependency and topology mapping
  • Security observability with DNS and HTTP-aware policy monitoring
  • Integration with Prometheus and Grafana for metrics
  • Kubernetes-aware filtering and labeling
Use Cases:
  • Troubleshooting network connectivity and latency issues in Kubernetes
  • Security forensics and runtime threat detection
  • Visualizing service dependencies and communication patterns
Alternatives:
  • kube-state-metrics – Focuses on reporting Kubernetes object state metrics, not deep network flow data.
  • Weave Scope – Provides topology visualization and monitoring but does not use eBPF for deep network introspection.
