OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation

This repository provides eBPF instrumentation based on the OpenTelemetry standard. It provides a lightweight and efficient way to collect telemetry data using eBPF for user-space applications.

OpenTelemetry e-BPF Instrumentation is commonly referred to as OBI.

🚧 This project is currently work in progress.

How to start developing

Requirements:

• Docker
• GNU Make

1. First, generate all the eBPF Go bindings via make docker-generate. You need to re-run this make task each time you add or modify a C file under the bpf/ folder.
2. To run linter, unit tests: make fmt verify.
3. To run integration tests, run either:

make integration-test
make integration-test-k8s
make oats-test

, or all the above tasks. Each integration test target can take up to 50 minutes to complete, but you can use standard go command-line tooling to individually run each integration test suite under the internal/test/integration and internal/test/integration/k8s folder.
