Unifying Policy Observability in Kubernetes
summary
A tool called policy Reporter collects and normalizes PolicyReport CRD outputs from scanners and admission controllers like calvano trivy falco and kube-bench into a REST API and single UI, lets teams route alerts with namespace-based Slack routing, exposes filters to reduce dashboard noise, and integrates with the Prometheus Operator for a single monitoring view. It supports multi-cluster switching, is reported in production on roughly 200–300 node clusters, and lacks timeline charts and some direct integrations requiring adapters.
