eBPF tool to monitor disk usage, perform actions

eBPF based tool to monitor disk usage, perform actions when threshold breached. - Lakshmipathi/ebpf-diskalert

eBPF tool to monitor disk usage, perform actions launched on October 9, 2023 with 22 votes, #1,339 of 4,393 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

In plain words

This eBPF-based tool monitors disk usage and automatically performs actions based on usage patterns. Built for system administrators and developers who need programmatic control over disk management, it uses extended Berkeley Packet Filter technology to track storage metrics efficiently. The tool runs at the kernel level, enabling real-time monitoring and automated responses without requiring application-level modifications.

  • Wachy – A UI for eBPF-based performance debugging2022 · rubrikinc.github.io · ▲116

    eBPF is an amazing technology that allows safely running user-supplied functions at pretty much arbitrary probe points in a kernel/user space context. Much has been written about how amazing this feature is for kernel observability. But as someone who writes user space code, what I find even more amazing is the support for tracing arbitrary user space programs, with no code changes and low overhead. However, doing in-depth analysis can get complicated and time-consuming. My goal with wachy was to make this debugging significantly easier/faster to use, by displaying traces in a TUI…

  • Alaz: Open-Source, Self-Hosted, eBPF-Based K8s Monitoring2023 · github.com · ▲101

    Hello Everyone, I'm excited to introduce a new open-source observability platform and would love to hear your feedback. We are aware that there are lots of open-source/commercial tools out there. However, we believe that monitoring the clusters and extracting actionable insights requires deep know-how about the tools/domain. We mainly focused on this problem. - Alaz is an eBPF agent installed on your K8s cluster as DaemonSet. Thanks to eBPF, Alaz collects traces directly from Linux kernels. This means there's no need for sidecars, instrumentations, or service restarts. - The UI not…

    I started using Claude Code (claude --dangerously-skip-permissions) and Codex (codex --yolo) and realized I had no reliable way to know what they actually did. The agent's own output tells you a story, but it's the agent's story. logira records exec, file, and network events at the OS level via eBPF, scoped per run. Events are saved locally in JSONL and SQLite. It ships with default detection rules for credential access, persistence changes, suspicious exec patterns, and more. Observe-only – it never blocks. https://github.com/melonattacker/logira

  • Linnix – eBPF observability that predicts failures before they happenNov 2025 · github.com · ▲21

    I kept missing incidents until it was too late. By the time my monitoring alerted me, servers/nodes were already unrecoverable. So I built Linnix. It watches your Linux systems at the kernel level using eBPF and tries to catch problems before they cascade into outages. The idea is simple: instead of alerting you after your server runs out of memory, it notices when memory allocation patterns look weird and tells you "hey, this looks bad." It uses a local LLM to spot patterns. Not trying to build AGI here - just pattern matching on process behavior. Turns out LLMs are actually pretty…
