New Relic has patented an automation solution for event logging and debugging on KUBERNETES. The system provides no-instrumentation telemetry for a distributed application cluster by deploying a BPF probe triggered by user-defined events, capturing data in kernel space, and transferring it to user space.

Automated event logging and debugging on kubernetes without instrumentation
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11977934B2) discloses a system and method for providing no-instrumentation telemetry for a distributed application cluster. The system includes an edge module that deploys a Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) probe and corresponding BPF program in the computing environment of the cluster. The edge module is user-specific, triggered by user-defined events in the distributed application, captures data in the kernel space, and transfers it to the user space.
Furthermore, the system allows for the analysis of captured data to infer protocols, determine the relevance of the protocol, and transfer the data accordingly. The deployment of BPF probes can be both kernel and user-specific, triggered by corresponding functions in the application. The method ensures that the user-specific edge module runs alongside the distributed application, providing valuable insights without the need for additional instrumentation. Additionally, the deployment of user BPF probes upstream from encryption libraries enhances security measures within the distributed application cluster. This innovative approach to telemetry offers a non-intrusive method for monitoring and analyzing data flow within a distributed application environment, enhancing operational efficiency and security protocols.
