BCC is an eBPF development toolkit and tracing framework used for monitoring and analyzing the Linux kernel. It functions as a performance analysis tool and debugging utility to capture system events, measure kernel latency, and provide network observability. The project distinguishes itself by providing a build system that integrates with LLVM to compile C-like code into BPF bytecode at runtime. It utilizes BPF Type Format data for relocations to maintain cross-kernel compatibility and extracts kernel headers to ensure the generated programs match the specific kernel version. The toolkit co
Extracts kernel types and internal definitions into header files to maintain cross-version compatibility.
Inspektor Gadget is an eBPF observability toolset and program framework designed for tracing Linux systems and debugging Kubernetes nodes. It provides a suite of tools to collect kernel-level telemetry and export system metrics via the OpenTelemetry standard. The project distinguishes itself by packaging inspection tools as OCI-compliant container images, allowing for standardized distribution and deployment across clusters and hosts. It employs a modular data processing pipeline that utilizes WebAssembly modules to transform and filter telemetry, and leverages Compile Once Run Everywhere for
Generates type information using BTF to ensure eBPF programs remain portable across different kernel versions.
