pxio/vizier-pem_image repository overview

Pixie is an open-source⁠ observability tool for Kubernetes applications. Use Pixie to view the high-level state of your cluster (service maps, cluster resources, application traffic) and also drill down into more detailed views (pod state, flame graphs, individual full-body application requests).

⁠Why Pixie?

Three features enable Pixie's magical developer experience:

• Auto-telemetry: Pixie uses eBPF to automatically collect telemetry data such as full-body requests, resource and network metrics, application profiles, and more. See the full list of data sources here⁠.

• In-Cluster Edge Compute: Pixie collects, stores and queries all telemetry data locally in the cluster. Pixie uses less than 5% of cluster CPU and in most cases less than 2%.

• Scriptability: PxL⁠, Pixie’s flexible Pythonic query language, can be used across Pixie’s UI, CLI, and client APIs.
