Introduction

eBPF (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter) is a Linux kernel technology that provides safe and efficient execution of custom programs inside the kernel.
With eBPF, OpsRamp delivers deep, real-time visibility into Kubernetes network traffic, helping you monitor, analyze, and troubleshoot cluster behavior at the kernel level.
