Types

type ProcessTracer

type ProcessTracer struct {
	Programs []Tracer
	ELFInfo  *exec.FileInfo
	Goffsets *goexec.Offsets
	Exe      *link.Executable
	PinPath  string

	SystemWide bool
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

ProcessTracer instruments an executable with eBPF and provides the eBPF readers that will forward the traces to later stages in the pipeline

func (*ProcessTracer) Run

func (pt *ProcessTracer) Run(ctx context.Context, out chan<- []request.Span)

type Tracer interface {
	// Load the bpf object that is generated by the bpf2go compiler

	// inserted as the Go function start and end probes

	// Run will do the action of listening for eBPF traces and forward them
	// periodically to the output channel.
	// It optionally receives the service svc.ID, to
	// populate each forwarded span with its value. But some
	// tracers might ignore it (e.g. system-wide HTTP filter will directly set the
	// executable name of each request).
	Run(context.Context, chan<- []request.Span, svc.ID)
	// AddCloser adds io.Closer instances that need to be invoked when the
	// Run function ends.
	AddCloser(c ...io.Closer)

Tracer is an individual eBPF program (e.g. the net/http or the grpc tracers)
