Shows runtime, events per second, CPU utilization of all running eBPF programs. Real time tabular view. Metrics can also be graphed. Collects stats only whilst running to minimize the performance impact. ### Tradeoffs Dynamically linked to several libraries (libz & libelf) which are required for it to run.
