Uploads to Rancher

Rancher manages clusters through its control plane. Managed clusters send data to Rancher's central management servers. Data send to rancher include:

  1. Cluster Metadata: Information about the cluster, such as the number of nodes, node types, resource allocation, and version information.
  2. Health and Monitoring Data: Metrics on the performance and health of the cluster, including CPU usage, memory usage, network statistics, etc.
  3. Audit Logs and Events: System logs and events that may be used for debugging or auditing.
  4. Configuration and Settings: Updates to cluster configuration and settings, including changes made through Rancher's UI or APIs.
  5. Security and Compliance Data: Information related to security policies, compliance checks, vulnerability scans, etc.
  6. kubectl commands output: Rancher allows to run kubectl management tool in the context of the managed cluster. Output of these commands is syphoned through the Rancher management servers.
