Revolutionary Tracing Technology

The first and only distributed tracing solution that requires zero code changes

Zero-Code Instrumentation

Get complete distributed traces without adding a single line of code or SDK to your applications

Automatic Trace Correlation

Traces are automatically correlated across services using kernel-level connection tracking

End-to-End Visibility

Follow requests from frontend to backend, through databases, caches, and message queues

Works With Encryption

Trace encrypted traffic (HTTPS, gRPC-TLS) without decryption or certificate access

Anomaly Detection

Automatically detect slow spans, errors, and unusual patterns in trace data

Real-Time Streaming

See traces in real-time with sub-millisecond latency from capture to visualization

The Magic of eBPF Tracing

Traditional Tracing (Complex)

  • Add tracing SDK to every service
  • Manually instrument code with spans
  • Propagate trace context in headers
  • Maintain instrumentation as code evolves

HyperObserve eBPF Tracing (Simple)

  • Deploy HyperObserve once per host
  • Automatic trace capture at kernel level
  • No code changes or SDKs needed
  • Works with any language or framework

How Kernel-Level Tracing Works

// eBPF program captures all network events
SEC("kprobe/tcp_sendmsg")
int trace_tcp_send(struct pt_regs *ctx) {
    // Extract connection info
    struct sock *sk = (struct sock *)PT_REGS_PARM1(ctx);
    
    // Correlate with existing traces
    u64 trace_id = generate_or_continue_trace(sk);
    
    // Record span data
    record_span(trace_id, timestamp, latency);
    
    return 0;
}

Every network call is automatically captured and correlated into traces

Tracing Use Cases
