Telegen Documentation

Telegen is a zero-configuration observability agent that automatically discovers and instruments your entire infrastructure using eBPF. Deploy with a single command and get complete visibility across metrics, traces, logs, and profiles.

“Instrument everything. Configure nothing.”

Key Features

🔍 Auto-Discovery

Automatically detects cloud providers, Kubernetes, databases, and runtimes without configuration.

📊 Distributed Tracing

eBPF-powered tracing for HTTP, gRPC, databases, messaging (Kafka, AMQP, STOMP), and RPC (Dubbo2, SunRPC) without code changes.

🔥 Continuous Profiling

CPU, off-CPU, memory, mutex, and wall-clock profiling with flame graph generation.

🛡️ Security Observability

Syscall auditing, file integrity monitoring, container escape detection, and file tailing with trace correlation.

🌐 Network Observability

DNS tracing, TCP metrics, XDP packet analysis, service mesh integration, and firewall infra collection (PAN-OS, FortiGate, Arista, Cisco ACI).

📡 OpenTelemetry Native

100% OTel-compliant output via OTLP to any compatible backend. Unified V3 pipeline with WAL queues and failover.

🤖 AI/ML Observability

GPU monitoring (NVIDIA NVML), LLM API tracing (OpenAI, Anthropic), CUDA kernel tracing, and token cost estimation.

🏗️ Infrastructure Collection

Storage arrays (NetApp ONTAP/E-Series, Dell, HPE, Pure), VMware vSphere, SNMP devices, and K8s metrics streaming.

📨 Messaging Protocols

Kafka, RabbitMQ/AMQP 0-9-1, AMQP 1.0, OpenWire, STOMP, NATS, MQTT — full OTel messaging semantics.

🔗 Go Channel Links

Go channel send/receive operations as span links for goroutine-level trace correlation.
