Frequently Asked Questions About Kubernetes APM
Everything you need to know about the product and billing. Can't find the answer you're looking for? Ask us on our Slack Community.
How does Metoro APM work without instrumenting my code?
Metoro uses eBPF technology to monitor your applications at the kernel level. This means we can capture performance data, traces, and metrics without requiring any code changes or restarts to your applications. The eBPF programs run safely in the kernel and collect telemetry data automatically.
What performance impact does Metoro APM have on my applications?
Metoro's eBPF-based approach has minimal overhead, typically less than 1% CPU usage. Since we operate at the kernel level, there's an almost unmeasurable additional latency added to your application requests. We're on the hotpath for a handful of micro-seconds.
What metrics does Metoro APM collect?
Metoro APM collects a comprehensive set of metrics including: request latencies (p50, p90, p99), error rates, throughput, CPU usage, memory utilization, network I/O, and detailed traces of service interactions. We also capture Kubernetes-specific metrics about your pods, deployments, and cluster health.
Can Metoro APM monitor applications in multiple Kubernetes clusters?
Yes, Metoro APM can monitor applications across multiple Kubernetes clusters simultaneously. This gives you a unified view of your applications' performance across your entire infrastructure.
Can I send my custom spans to Metoro APM?
Yes, Metoro APM supports sending custom spans to our backend. We have a full otel compatible API so you can just use any otel collector.
