Frequently Asked Questions
What is observability?
The ability to understand a system's internal state from its outputs, typically metrics, logs and traces, so you can answer new questions about unexpected behaviour.
What is OpenTelemetry?
A vendor-neutral standard and set of tools for generating and exporting telemetry, supported by most observability platforms, which helps avoid lock-in.
Why eBPF?
eBPF lets tools collect network, security and performance data from the kernel without changing application code, which makes instrumentation easier and cheaper.
How is this different from the monitoring pages?
The Monitoring Software hub links to directories by category. This page lists observability tools, with an emphasis on open standards and eBPF.
