Usage of eBPF within Dynatrace

Good Morning Community,

Looking at another Observability vendor (yes I know, it is bad (-;) I notice there is a lot of eBPF usage/marketing to be found. (Stack traces, flame graphs, security stuff etc)

Within dynatrace there is "only" service discovery and "inspektor Gadget" data importing.

What am I missing in these observations?

Hi @henk_stobbe

Think that eBPF Monitoring with Inspektor Gadget and Dynatrace can clear a bit the issue.

Dynatrace also uses eBPF in OneAgent for service discovery (in OneAgent discovery mode). But there is not yet much adoption of eBPF in OneAgent. Support my product idea about using eBPF for custom tracepoints here to close the system monitoring gaps.
