🐝 eBPF Agent (Alaz)

Alaz is an open-source eBPF agent from Anteon that inspects and collects Kubernetes service traffic without requiring code instrumentation, sidecars, or service restarts, thanks to its use of eBPF technology. Alaz can create a Service Map to identify golden signals and issues such as high latencies, 5xx errors, zombie services, and SQL queries. Additionally, it can gather system information and resources through the Prometheus Node Exporter, which is integrated into the agent.

To start monitoring your Kubernetes cluster, you need to create a new cluster on the Anteon platform. To do this, navigate to the Clusters page and click the "Add Cluster" button. After providing a unique name for your cluster, you will be directed to the Observability page, where you can access the Service Map and Metrics Dashboard for the cluster.

Next, you need to install and run our open-source eBPF agent (Alaz) as a DaemonSet in your Kubernetes cluster.

Follow the instructions here to set up your new cluster successfully.
