With the help of BPF-based performance tools, you can now get unparalleled visibility into systems and applications, allowing you to optimize performance, troubleshoot code, strengthen security, and reduce costs. BPF Performance Tools: Linux System and Application Observability, written by BPF expert Brendan Gregg, is a must-read book if you’re looking to gain deeper insights into your Linux systems.

This book presents over 150 analysis and debugging tools that you can put to immediate use, with step-by-step tutorials on developing your own. From analyzing CPUs, memory, disks, file systems, networking, languages, applications, containers, hypervisors, security, to the kernel, Brendan Gregg covers a wide range of topics and guides you along the way.

Here are some of the key things you’ll learn in this book:

• Understand fundamental tracing concepts and both core BPF front-ends: BCC and bpftrace.

• Master over 150 powerful BPF tools, including dozens created specifically for this book.

• Discover practical strategies, tips, and tricks for more effective analysis.

• Analyze compiled, JIT-compiled and interpreted code in multiple languages such as C, Java, bash shell, and more.

• Generate metrics, stack traces and custom latency histograms.

• Use complementary tools when they offer quick, easy wins.

• Explore advanced tools built on BPF: PCP and Grafana for remote monitoring, eBPF Exporter, and kubectl-trace for tracing Kubernetes.

The book also includes a foreword by Alexei Starovoitov, the creator of the new BPF.

BPF Performance Tools is an indispensable guide that should be on the shelf of every administrator, developer, support staff, and IT professional working with any recent Linux distribution in any enterprise or cloud environment.
