A Prometheus exporter that runs custom eBPF programs to expose Linux kernel metrics not otherwise accessible, built on libbpf. It also supports exporting OpenTelemetry-compatible traces from eBPF.
Use cases
- export custom eBPF metrics to Prometheus
- monitor block I/O latency like biolatency
- trace process execution from the kernel
- collect kernel performance counters in Grafana
- observe kernel events without kernel modules
- export eBPF traces to OpenTelemetry
When to choose
- you need kernel-level metrics Prometheus can't scrape otherwise
- you're comfortable writing eBPF programs and want them exposed as metrics
- you run Linux servers and want bcc-tools-style observability in Prometheus
When to avoid
- you're not on Linux (eBPF is Linux-only)
- you only need standard system metrics available from node_exporter
- you can't grant privileged kernel access to the exporter
