Description Ortwin Glueck 2020-02-24 11:04:16 UTC

Netdata can now monitor the kernel with ebpf.

There is a new conifgure option: --enable-ebpf
and probably some kernel config checks should be added for:
CONFIG_BPF=y
CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL=y


Reproducible: Always

Also requires libbpf, but gives good insights when it works.
