About:
Sysdig is a universal system visibility tool for Linux that uses kernel instrumentation to capture system calls and other system events. It provides deep insights into how a system is behaving, enabling detailed troubleshooting and performance analysis. The tool can generate interactive command-line visualizations or capture forensic data for offline analysis.
Key Features:
  • Real-time system call monitoring and capture
  • Interactive terminal UI (csysdig) for exploration
  • Powerful filtering and scripting capabilities
  • Forensic capture and analysis (scap files)
  • Container and container image support
Use Cases:
  • Troubleshooting complex application performance issues
  • Security forensics and incident response
  • Debugging container behavior in Docker or Kubernetes
Alternatives:
  • strace – Sysdig provides a more comprehensive, scriptable, and visually rich interface compared to the basic process-attachment focus of strace.
  • tcpdump – While tcpdump focuses solely on network packets, Sysdig correlates network activity with the full system context (processes, files, etc.).
