What is Metoro?

Metoro is an observability platform designed for microservice systems running in Kubernetes. It provides a single pane of glass for all your telemetry data.

Metoro leverages eBPF agents to collect data from your Kubernetes cluster at the linux kernel level, which means you can get end-to-end observability without any code changes in less than 5 minutes. APM, logs, metrics, traces and kubernetes metadata are included out of the box.

At a high level, Metoro works in the following way:

1. eBPF programs are loaded into the linux kernel of all your nodes in the Kubernetes cluster.
2. The eBPF programs collect data from the kernel and store it in a local buffer.
3. The agent reads the data from the buffer and sends it to the Metoro backend.
