The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation attaches eBPF probes to a running process's binary and network sockets at the kernel level, observing protocol traffic such as HTTP and gRPC calls and emitting standard OpenTelemetry traces and metrics. It does this without touching an application's source code, recompiling it, or adding a language-specific tracing library.
