Disable Captures

Sometimes, security requirements dictate that capture functionality should not be triggered at all. For example, PCI compliance for payment information.

In such cases, you can disable Captures altogether by configuring the agent. See Configure the Agent.

Disable Captures Manually

To disable captures through direct access of dragent.yaml:

  1. Access dragent.yaml by using one of the options listed in Configure the Agent.

  2. Set the parameter:

    sysdig_capture_enabled: false
    
  3. Restart the agent, using the command:

    service dragent restart
    

Disable Captures via sysdig-deploy Helm Chart

To disable Captures via Helm, edit the boolean parameter disableCaptures in agent.sysdig:

  1. Use the following Helm configuration:
agent:
  sysdig:
    disableCaptures: true
  1. Alternatively, use:
--set agent.sysdig.disableCaptures=true
