What's Changed
OpenTelemetry & LGTM
- chore(deps): update dependency opentelemetry-collector to v0.145.0 by @renovate-sh-app[bot] in #1019
- chore(deps): update dependency pyroscope to v1.18.1 by @renovate-sh-app[bot] in #1032
- chore(deps): update dependency grafana to v12.3.3 by @renovate-sh-app[bot] in #1031
New: Zero-code observability with eBPF
The grafana/otel-lgtm image now bundles OBI (OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation). OBI automatically generates traces and RED metrics for HTTP/gRPC services using Linux eBPF — no SDKs, no agents, no code changes.
ENABLE_OBI=true ./run-lgtm.shTarget specific languages with OBI_TARGET=java|python|node|dotnet|ruby, or let OBI auto-discover services on common ports.
Requires Linux kernel 5.8+ and privileged Docker mode (handled automatically by run-lgtm.sh).
See the README for configuration details and the OBI example for a multi-language demo with 5 uninstrumented apps.
