I have seen this with some other enterprise solutions and it’s a popular choice when we don’t want ‘APM’ level metrics but we are interested in the HTTP metrics such as requests/sec, error/sec, etc.Redhat has a decent article on this:Monitoring eBPF-based metrics (redhat.com)Some blogs focussed on HTTP metrics:eBPF enhanced HTTP observability — L7 metrics and tracing | by Apache SkyWalking | Jan, 2023 | MediumI am starting to see DevOps requests this sort of monitoring especially on third party software where instrumentation for APM is not possible or preferred by vendor. We’d recently had a requirement similar to this for an enterprise product and LM can only poll HTTP and record results and not be able to track incoming requests to the server.Quite like to see this being supported - DataDog already supports this and I can see this being quite important going forward.
