Learn advanced Ubuntu system monitoring techniques through this conference talk that explores the powerful combination of eBPF and Prometheus for comprehensive system observability. Discover how eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) enables secure execution of small programs directly within the Linux kernel to monitor system calls, network activity, and CPU consumption without performance overhead or application modifications. Explore Prometheus as an open-source monitoring and alerting platform that collects metrics and provides analysis capabilities through its PromQL query language. Follow a practical implementation guide covering the installation of Prometheus on Ubuntu systems and the deployment of eBPF exporters for real-time data collection. Watch live demonstrations of monitoring CPU utilization, memory usage, disk I/O, and network performance while learning to write effective PromQL queries for system exploration and analysis. Examine the latest Prometheus features and enhancements that strengthen system monitoring capabilities when integrated with eBPF technology. Gain insights into creating efficient, low-overhead monitoring solutions that provide granular visibility into Ubuntu system performance and behavior without relying on resource-intensive traditional monitoring agents or scripts.
