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.
