"While automatic instrumentation solutions have existed for language runtimes like the JVM, .Net CLR, and others, traditional auto-instrumentation approaches usually have trouble with compiled languages such as Go, Rust, and C++. With certain legacy services, the source code may be so old that it is extremely difficult to modify."
"OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation (OBI) makes getting this data a cinch. It allows engineering teams to confidently lean into observability without any manual setup steps. Consequently, teams can rapidly gain visibility into their services and infrastructure."
"In enterprise-level organizations, there is commonly a mix of apps that were heavily instrumented with proprietary observability vendor software development kits (SDKs) and some apps that lack instrumentation altogether. This complex mix results in duplicate metrics and fragmented or missing data."
Many IT and engineering leaders recognize observability benefits but struggle with implementation challenges, particularly instrumentation of new applications and off-the-shelf software. These obstacles lead teams to avoid observability in certain environments, creating system vulnerabilities and potential business consequences including financial losses and reputational damage. OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation addresses these challenges by enabling automatic data collection without manual setup. Traditional auto-instrumentation works well for language runtimes like JVM and .Net CLR but struggles with compiled languages such as Go, Rust, and C++. Legacy services with inaccessible source code and commercial off-the-shelf applications present additional complications. Enterprise environments often contain mixed instrumentation approaches, resulting in duplicate metrics and fragmented data that hinders comprehensive visibility.
