# OpenTelemetry eBPF #

The OpenTelemetry eBPF project develops components that collect and analyze

telemetry from the operating system, cloud, and container orchestrators. Its initial focus

is on collecting network data to enable users to gain insight into their distributed 

applications.

The _kernel collector_ gathers low level telemetry straight from the Linux

kernel using [eBPF](https://ebpf.io/). It does so with negligible compute and 

network overheads. The _kubernetes collector_ and _cloud collector_ gather workload

metadata.

This telemetry is then sent to the _reducer_, which enriches and aggregates it.

The reducer outputs metrics to the OpenTelemetry collector.

## Building ##
