gRPC API

{{% pageinfo color=warning %}}

The gRPC Output as well as the embedded gRPC server have been deprecated in Falco 0.43.0 and will be removed in a future release. Until removal and since Falco 0.43.0, using any of them will result in a warning informing the user about the deprecation. Users are encouraged to leverage another output and/or Falcosidekick, as the usage will result in an error after the removal.

Starting from version 0.18.0, Falco has its own {{< glossary_tooltip text="gRPC" term_id="grpc" >}} server which provides a set of gRPC APIs.

The current APIs are:

• schema definition: get or subscribe to Falco output events.
• schema definition: retrieve the Falco version.

In order to interact with these APIs, the The Falco Project provides a Golang SDK.
