Network Mapper – low privileges, no-eBPF network observability tool for K8s

The Network Mapper can export to Grafana Tempo (contributed by the community!), but doesn't have to. You can get its output as text, JSON, PNG or SVG using a CLI or an API (directly from the deployment in your cluster), and use it to auto-generate network policies.

Built while avoiding eBPF and reliance on a particular CNI with the intention to run on older nodes, with low privileges, a low performance footprint, and most importantly - zero config.
