F5 eBPF observability, packet-level traffic visibility, and real-time network telemetry are essential for troubleshooting modern, cloud-native applications. This demo shows how F5 eBPF Observability (EOB)—formerly MantisNet CVF—uses eBPF-based packet capture and kernel telemetry to provide real-time visibility into application and network traffic, all through a centralized observability dashboard.
In this video, viewers will see how EOB captures live traffic data directly from the Linux kernel and visualizes it in the dashboard, enabling teams to inspect packets, analyze flows, and understand traffic behavior without deploying agents or modifying applications. The demo highlights how packet-level insights and eBPF telemetry help accelerate troubleshooting, validate network behavior, and improve operational visibility across cloud-native and containerized environments.
By watching this demo, viewers will learn how F5 eBPF Observability enables:
• Packet capture and traffic inspection using eBPF
• Real-time visibility into application and network flows
• Agentless observability with minimal operational overhead
• Dashboard-driven analysis for faster troubleshooting and root-cause isolation
This video is intended for platform engineers, SREs, network teams, and architects responsible for operating Kubernetes, microservices, and distributed infrastructure.
