OpenTelemetry and eBPF-Based Observability for a Cloud-Native Security Platform

See how Opcito built a unified observability platform using OpenTelemetry and eBPF for a data-centric enterprise security platform.

Engagement Details:

Opcito partnered with a data security intelligence company to consolidate fragmented monitoring tools and reduce the cost and complexity of observability across cloud and Kubernetes environments. With no unified visibility layer, disconnected tools were creating data silos, alert fatigue, and slow incident resolution. Opcito delivered a unified observability stack built on OpenTelemetry and eBPF, giving engineering teams a single pipeline for metrics, logs, and traces with deep Kubernetes integration and optimized data storage.

Benefits

• Reduced monitoring costs through optimized data collection and retention with VictoriaMetrics and ClickHouse
• Faster issue detection with eBPF kernel-level telemetry and unified pipeline correlation
• Eliminated tool silos by consolidating metrics, logs, and traces into a single OpenTelemetry pipeline
• Reduced alert fatigue through centralized, correlated alerting tied to real incidents
• Simplified observability operations replacing multiple disconnected tools with a unified stack
