> Does it generate the Service Map from eBPF traces too? Yes, Alaz generates the K8s service map from eBPF kernel trace points.

We have already planned to make Alaz available for direct installation on Linux or Docker without the need for K8s. We are developing this feature now and will be released soon.

Show HN: Alaz: Open-Source, Self-Hosted, eBPF-Based K8s Monitoring

Hello Everyone, I'm excited to introduce a new open-source observability platform and would love to hear your feedback. We are aware that there are lots of open-source/commercial tools out there. However, we believe that monitoring the clusters and extracting actionable insights requires deep know-how about the tools/domain. We mainly focused on this problem. - Alaz is an eBPF agent installed on your K8s cluster as DaemonSet. Thanks to eBPF, Alaz collects traces directly from Linux kernels. This means there's no need for sidecars, instrumentations, or service restarts. - The UI not only visualizes data but also provides actionable insights. Using the Service Map, you can: - View latencies and RPS between services. - Detect zombie services and underperforming SQL queries. - Monitor golden signals, such as 5xx status codes. In additi
Read the rest
on, Alaz can capture system resources like CPU, Memory, Disk, and Network through the Prometheus Node Exporter, which is embedded in the agent. Setting up is straightforward: just install Alaz as a DaemonSet, and the platform will handle the rest. Finally, the combination of Alaz and Ddosify Performance Testing makes it possible to do load testing and simultaneously monitor the system to find bottlenecks instantly. For those interested, check out Alaz on GitHub: https://github.com/ddosify/alaz Your feedback would be greatly appreciated!
