v52.9.0

Kubeshark release v52.9.0 (10-03-2025)

Release Highlights

Bug Fixes & New Features

• Added a Helm property to control the duration before Kubeshark automatically enters [Dormant](https://docs.kubeshark.co/en/on_off_switch) mode to conserve resources when idle. In Dormant mode, resource consumption is minimized. This behavior can be disabled via Helm. Kubeshark will not enter Dormant mode if any dashboard, Agent logic script, or recording is active.
• The hostroot volume is now created only when the tracer is deployed. tracer deployment is controlled by the tap.tls=true/false setting.
• Introduced support for defining a custom ingress path via the Helm value: tap.ingress.path.

v52.8.1

Kubeshark release v52.8.1 (08-12-2025)

Release Highlights

This release includes small bug fixes and some new capabilities.

Bug Fixes & New Features

• Fixed support for Cgroup V2 in cases where additional privileges are required.

• Implemented a traffic processing timeout for periods of complete inactivity:

  • A new Helm value has been introduced to define the timeout duration when there is no dashboard streaming traffic, no active recordings, and no agents operating.
  • In such cases, Kubeshark will transition into a Dormant state until new activity is detected.
  • During the Dormant state, traffic processing is halted, and resource consumption is minimized.
  • This ensures Kubeshark consumes negligible system resources unless actively in use.

v52.7.0

V52.7.0 (2025-04-16)

Release Highlights

This update adds new Helm options, improves GitOps compatibility, and enhances traffic capture with AF_PACKET. It also fixes bugs related to CLI exit, packet loss, Kafka crashes, and watchdog stability.

Keywords: AF_PACKET, BPF, Dex, PVC, Kafka, Packet loss, Scripts

Bug Fixes & New Features

• Added support for tapping network interface traffic using AF_PACKET. This can be configured by entering a BPF expression (e.g., net 0.0.0.0/0) in the BPF OVERRIDE field in the Settings dialog. Useful when expected traffic is not being captured.
• Added the Helm value tap.dashboard.completeStreamingEnabled, which sets the default mode for full (with payload) or partial (without payload) processing. This option can also be controlled from the dashboard.
• Added the Helm value tap.auth.dexOidc.bypassSslCaCheck, which allows communication with a Dex IdP using an unknown SSL Certificate Authority, preventing SSL CA-related errors.
• Added support for azure-csi-premium for RWX PVC volumes (https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/azuredisk-csi-driver/tree/master/deploy/example/sharedisk).
• Disabled the online chat option by default.
• Added support for a GitOps-friendly mode where dynamically changed configmap and secret values are preserved during Helm upgrades, avoiding CI/CD system overrides while Kubeshark is running.
• Enabled the kubeshark CLI to use a proprietary configuration file.
• Fixed a protocol matcher bug caused by packet loss (#1746).
• Fixed a panic that occasionally occurred in the Kafka dissector.
• Fixed a bug where the watchdog function could crash the Worker when no traffic was being processed on the node.
• Fixed a bug in the kubeshark scripts command where it didn't exit properly upon receiving ^C.

Patches

When new patch release are published, that will be added automatically and listed in this section

v52.7.1 (2025-04-30)

• Added the ability to take a PCAP snapshot (e.g., the last hour of cluster-wide traffic) and download the PCAP repository directly from the dashboard. This essentially integrates the pcapdump command into the dashboard.
• Automation templates can now start automatically by referencing them in the configuration.
