Deploying Falco

  1. Create a Slack webhook for receiving Falco alerts

    You will need to create a Slack application and add a webhook to it. See the instructions for creating a Slack webhook here: https://api.slack.com/messaging/webhooks.

  2. Deploy the Falco helm chart.

    This should be done through your existing infrastructure-as-code pipeline, but here’s a reference for how to set default variables:

    Terminal window
    helm repo add falcosecurity https://falcosecurity.github.io/charts
    helm repo update
    helm upgrade --install falco falcosecurity/falco \
    --namespace falco --create-namespace \
    --set falcosidekick.enabled=true \
    --set driver.kind="ebpf" \
    --set auditLog.enabled=true \
    --set falco.jsonOutput=true \
    --set falco.fileOutput.enabled=true \
    --set falcosidekick.config.slack.webhookurl="<Slack Channel Webhook URL>"
