gethostlatency - eBPF Command Line Tools

In this blog post we will look at gethostlatency command. It is available in both BCC and bpftrace tool collections. Most applications and services use hostnames, rather than IP addresses to communicate with other services. This means before connection to the service can be established, another request needs to be made – to DNS (Domain Name System). As such its performance and availability impacts performance of virtually all services in your environment, yet it is often ignored.

eBPF Linux Command Line Tools

eBPF is a powerful technology used by many observability solutions, including Coroot. While web-based observability tools like Coroot are invaluable, there’s a specific class of eBPF tools that often go overlooked (besides Brendan Gregg of course): eBPF Linux Command Line Tools. These tools are essential for diving deep into complex performance issues. But first – why would you need those at all if you have convenient observability focused web applications?

The four pillars of observability

When discussing the technical foundations of observability, several key components, often referred to as the “pillars,” emerge. While there is no universally agreed-upon number of pillars, this post will focus on four fundamental elements: metrics, logs, traces, and profiles. Due to the vast amount of data generated by metrics, logs, and traces, sampling is often employed to reduce data volume while maintaining representative information.
