Description

enhancement

Sysmon helps to extract a lot of information using EBPF. This also could work inside your Kubernetes (AKS Support) cluster. Currently the blocking issue is that we need to install sysmon with '-i' which tries to configure systemd. Systemd is not available in Docker.

It would be better to execute it as a CLI interactive tool, so we can run this inside a container, so we potentially can use this as daemonset on the AKS worker nodes to extract information what happens inside the cluster. Familiar use case is implemented within Falco.
