How to collect ebpf metrics in Prometheus?

Abstract:

 

Prometheus has become THE standard for collecting observability metrics in Kubernetes and cloud-native environments. Prometheus sheds light on the inner workings of Kubernetes clusters and workloads by supporting a vast number of technologies. Lots of Kpi (CPU, IO, network. Etc)  in our On Premise environment are less precise when we start to work on Cloud environment.

Ebpf is the perfect technology to understand precisely what is really happening at the kernel level.

In 2018 CloudFlare shared an opensource project to expose custom ebpf metrics in Prometheus.

During this presentation, Henrik will explain:

  • What is ebpf?
  • What type of metrics we are able to collect?
  • How to expose those metrics in a K8s environment.

 

This session will try to deliver a step-by-step guide on how to take advantage of the ebpf exporter.

Make sure to bring your questions as we will conclude with live Q&A
