Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Hooks into BPF syscalls to collect runtime stats every second. 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.
