OpsSight Solution Introduction

This document describes how to install, configure and use the OpsSight solution. This document also describes its design and architecture.

The "OpsSight solution" refers to the combination of the Synopsys Operator, the OpsSight Connector, and the Black Duck server.

The OpsSight Connector works with Black Duck to scan applications in your cloud-native environment (Kubernetes and OpenShift) for open-source security vulnerabilities. The OpsSight Connector:

• discovers new objects in your cluster
• determines their content and sends signature information to one or more Black Duck instances
• receives security-scan information back from Black Duck
• annotates and labels cluster objects with security status
• provides metrics about security scanning rates

Audience

The OpsSight Developers' Guide provides information for developers who wish to contribute to the OpsSight Connector, which is 100% open source. This guide gives developers a comprehensive view of not only how to install OpsSight, but how to tune it, curate its results, and extend it to implement custom functionality or use logic custom to your data center.

Note: If you simply wish to use the latest released and supported version of OpsSight, please reference the official OpsSight documentation.
