Falco - Cloud Native Runtime Security
Usage:
  falco [OPTION...]

  -h, --help                    Print this help list and exit.
  -c <path>                     Configuration file. If not specified uses /etc/falco/falco.yaml.
      --config-schema           Print the config json schema and exit.
      --rule-schema             Print the rule json schema and exit.
      --disable-source <event_source>
                                Turn off a specific <event_source>. By default, all loaded sources get enabled. Available sources are
                                'syscall' plus all sources defined by loaded plugins supporting the event sourcing capability. This option
                                can be passed multiple times, but turning off all event sources simultaneously is not permitted. This
                                option can not be mixed with --enable-source. This option has no effect when reproducing events from a
                                capture file.
      --dry-run                 Run Falco without processing events. It can help check that the configuration and rules do not have any
                                errors.
      --enable-source <event_source>
                                Enable a specific <event_source>. By default, all loaded sources get enabled. Available sources are
                                'syscall' plus all sources defined by loaded plugins supporting the event sourcing capability. This option
                                can be passed multiple times. When using this option, only the event sources specified by it will be
                                enabled. This option can not be mixed with --disable-source. This option has no effect when reproducing
                                events from a capture file.
  -i                            Print those events that are ignored by default for performance reasons and exit.
  -L                            Show the name and description of all rules and exit. If json_output is set to true, it prints details about
                                all rules, macros, and lists in JSON format.
  -l <rule>                     Show the name and description of the rule specified <rule> and exit. If json_output is set to true, it
                                prints details about the rule in JSON format.
      --list [=<source>(=)]     List all defined fields and exit. If <source> is provided, only list those fields for the source <source>.
                                Current values for <source> are "syscall" or any source from a configured plugin with event sourcing
                                capability.
      --list-events             List all defined syscall events, metaevents, tracepoint events and exit.
      --list-plugins            Print info on all loaded plugins and exit.
  -M <num_seconds>              Stop Falco execution after <num_seconds> are passed. (default: 0)
      --markdown                DEPRECATED: use --format markdown instead. Print output in Markdown format when used in conjunction with
                                --list or --list-events options. It has no effect when used with other options.
      --format <format>         Print output in the specified <format> when used in conjunction with --list or --list-events options. Valid
                                values are 'text', 'markdown', or 'json'. It has no effect when used with other options. Cannot be used
                                together with --markdown.
  -N                            Only print field names when used in conjunction with the --list option. It has no effect when used with
                                other options.
  -o, --option <opt>=<val>      Set the value of option <opt> to <val>. Overrides values in the configuration file. <opt> can be identified
                                using its location in the configuration file using dot notation. Elements of list entries can be accessed
                                via square brackets []. Use backslash (\) to escape literal dots, brackets, or backslashes in key names.
                                    E.g. base.id=val
                                         base.subvalue.subvalue2=val
                                         base.list[1]=val
                                         base.dotted\.key=val
                                         base.back\\slash=val
      --plugin-info <plugin_name>
                                Print info for the plugin specified by <plugin_name> and exit.
                                This includes all descriptive information like name and author, along with the
                                schema format for the init configuration and a list of suggested open parameters.
                                <plugin_name> can be the plugin's name or its configured 'library_path'.
  -p, --print <output_format>   DEPRECATED: use -o append_output... instead. Print additional information in the rule's output.
                                Use -pc or -pcontainer to append container details to syscall events.
                                Use -pk or -pkubernetes to add both container and Kubernetes details to syscall events.
                                The details will be directly appended to the rule's output.
                                Alternatively, use -p <output_format> for a custom format. In this case, the given <output_format> will be
                                appended to the rule's output without any replacement to all events, including plugin events.
  -P, --pidfile <pid_file>      Write PID to specified <pid_file> path. By default, no PID file is created. (default: "")
  -r <rules_file>               Rules file or directory to be loaded. This option can be passed multiple times. Falco defaults to the
                                values in the configuration file when this option is not specified. Only files with .yml or .yaml extension
                                are considered.
      --support                 Print support information, including version, rules files used, loaded configuration, etc., and exit. The
                                output is in JSON format.
  -U, --unbuffered              Turn off output buffering for configured outputs. This causes every single line emitted by Falco to be
                                flushed, which generates higher CPU usage but is useful when piping those outputs into another process or a
                                script.
  -V, --validate <rules_file>   Read the contents of the specified <rules_file> file(s), validate the loaded rules, and exit. This option
                                can be passed multiple times to validate multiple files.
  -v                            Enable verbose output.
      --version                 Print version information and exit.
      --page-size               Print the system page size and exit. This utility may help choose the right syscall ring buffer size.
