How Netflix uses eBPF flow logs at scale for network insight

The Netflix TechBlog

By Alok Tiagi , Hariharan Ananthakrishnan , Ivan Porto Carrero and Keerti Lakshminarayan Netflix has developed a network observability sidecar called Flow Exporter that uses eBPF tracepoints to capture TCP flows at near real time. Without having network visibility, it’s difficult to improve our reliability, security and capacity posture.

Bring syslog into Dynatrace using OpenTelemetry to get open source value with enterprise support

Dynatrace

Getting insights into the health and disruptions of your networking or infrastructure is fundamental to enterprise observability. For example, a supported syslog component must support the masking of sensitive data at capture to avoid transmitting personally identifiable information or other confidential data over the network.

What is RASP? Why runtime application self-protection is important, and how to do it right

Dynatrace

RASP capabilities aim to close the gap left by application security testing and network perimeter controls such as web application firewalls (WAFs). Conversely, a decentralized approach protects application servers using multiple firewalls to protect against attacks that may have penetrated the network. Contextual analysis.

Why We Switched from bcc-tools to libbpf-tools for Linux BPF Performance Analysis

DZone

BPF is mainly used for networking, tracing, and security. A practical solution is Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF), a highly flexible, efficient virtual machine that runs in the Linux kernel. It allows bytecode to be safely executed in various hooks, which exist in a variety of Linux kernel subsystems.
