Inspektor Gadget is a collection of tools (or gadgets) to debug and inspect Kubernetes resources and applications. It manages the packaging, deployment and execution of eBPF programs in a Kubernetes cluster, including many based on BCC tools, as well as some developed specifically for use in Inspektor Gadget. It automatically maps low-level kernel primitives to high-level Kubernetes resources, making it easier and quicker to find the relevant information.
Inspektor Gadget tools are known as gadgets. You can deploy one, two or many gadgets.
$ helm repo add gadget https://inspektor-gadget.github.io/charts
$ helm install gadget gadget/gadget --namespace=gadget --create-namespace
