DNS Tracing & Metrics Via eBPF in OpenTelemetry- Endre Sara, Causely & Nikola Grcevski, Grafana Labs

This talk presents integrating DNS observability directly into the OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation (OBI) agent to make invisible DNS performance issues visible. It covers architectural challenges of eBPF context, semantic conventions, scalability concerns, and the proposed metrics and tracing model. Target audience includes platform engineers, SREs, and developers working with cloud native applications who need to diagnose DNS-related latency, timeouts, or misconfiguration issues.
