Discovery Agent for Next-Gen Trust Security overview

Discovery Agent connects your clusters to Next-Gen Trust Security and continuously gathers certificate, ingress, and other data about machine identities. You view the data in the Next-Gen Trust Security user interface.

Discovery Agent provides the following key benefits:

  • Discovers certificates across your cluster by extracting certificate information from Certificate, CertificateRequest, and Secret resources, as well as ingress entry points to your workloads.
  • Protects sensitive data by stripping private keys from secrets and removing annotations before transmitting data to Next-Gen Trust Security.
  • Offers configurable resource monitoring through namespace filters, and annotation and label exclusion using regular expressions.

By using Discovery Agent, your organization gains visibility into machine identity data in your clusters from the Next-Gen Trust Security user interface.

What's next?

To get started, install Discovery Agent using Helm. After installation, configure it to control the resources that are monitored.
