Detailed guides for Telegen's observability features.

## Overview

Telegen provides comprehensive observability through:

- **eBPF-based instrumentation** - Zero-code, kernel-level collection
- **Automatic discovery** - Cloud, Kubernetes, runtime detection
- **Full-stack correlation** - Traces, metrics, logs, profiles linked automatically
