This directory provides an example of a monitoring process that receives connections from gVisor sandboxes and prints the traces to stdout. The example contains two main files:

• server.cc: this is where main() and all the code is. It sets up a server listening to a Unix-domain socket located at /tmp/gvisor_events.sock or a configurable location via a command line argument.
• pod_init.json: this file contains the trace configuration that should be passed to runsc. It can be done either via --pod-init-config flag or using runsc trace create command. Note that the socket location is specified in this file, in case you change it.

Let's first start the server, which waits for new connections:

$ bazel run examples/seccheck:server_cc
Socket address /tmp/gvisor_events.sock

Here is a simple example using runsc do:

runsc --rootless --network=none --pod-init-config=examples/seccheck/pod_init.json do echo 123

Back at the server terminal, you can see the following traces being outputted:

Connection messages indicate when runsc connected and disconnected to/from the server. Then there is a trace for container start and a few syscalls to open(2) for searching libraries. You can change pod_init.json to configure the trace session to your liking.

To set this up with Docker, you can add the --pod-init-config flag when the runtime is installed:

$ sudo runsc install --runtime=runsc-trace -- --pod-init-config=$PWD/examples/seccheck/pod_init.json
$ sudo systemctl restart docker
$ docker run --rm --runtime=runsc-trace hello-world
