Sniffing k8s traffic

[abuchanan-airbyte]

I'd like to sniff traffic in my kubernetes cluster running on orbstack. I'm not an expert in Wireshark, but I have used it successfully over the years. I tried to use it to sniff my local k8s + orbstack traffic, but I couldn't find the traffic.

I'm guessing this has to do with namespaces and tricky networking involved in both docker/vms and kubernetes.

Tools like ksniff and kubeshark exist to accomplish this. I think they run tcpdump in the kubernetes cluster as a pod (either sidecar or at the node level). I'll probably look into running something like that on the orbstack k8s node.

Are there things Orbstack could do to make this simpler?
