Kindling is an eBPF-based cloud native monitoring tool that runs as a DaemonSet in Kubernetes to capture syscalls and tracepoints from kernel to application code. It provides trace profiling (OnCPU/OffCPU thread-level flame graphs correlated with logs and network/file metrics), network flow visualization, and Prometheus/Grafana integration for root-cause triage.
Use cases
- monitor kubernetes network flows like tcp retransmit dns and throughput
- profile distributed traces at thread level with oncpu and offcpu events
- find root cause of slow rpc calls in production
- correlate logs and flame graphs with trace execution timeframes
- visualize service maps with latency error rate and traffic golden metrics
- enrich prometheus metrics with ebpf-based full stack monitoring
- diagnose thread starvation and lock contention issues
When to choose
- you run workloads on linux kubernetes and need kernel-level observability without code instrumentation
- you want to correlate traces with cpu offcpu events logs and network syscalls
- you need network-level rpc analysis similar to chrome devtools network panel for backend services
- you already use prometheus and grafana and want enriched full stack metrics
When to avoid
- your workloads run on windows or macos since only linux is supported
- you need arm architecture support which is not available
- you want a hosted saas monitoring solution rather than a self-hosted agent
- your kubernetes cluster cannot run privileged daemonset agents required for ebpf
