Odigos eBPF-based data collection requires, at minimum, platforms that have underlying Linux kernel versions of 5.4.0.The required Linux capabilities depend on your kernel version:
  • Kernel 5.4 – 5.7: requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
  • Kernel 5.8 and later: requires CAP_BPF and CAP_SYS_PTRACE.
We recommend running on kernel 5.8 or later when possible, as the more granular capabilities (CAP_BPF and CAP_SYS_PTRACE) follow the principle of least privilege compared to CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
  • Odigos Pro license key (or token) for the VM Agent.
  • A Linux host, plus deployment-specific requirements:
    • Package installation — a RHEL-compatible distribution (DNF), a Debian-based distribution (APT), or any Linux system supporting RPM packages.
    • Docker deployment — Docker installed and running, with permission to start privileged containers. See also the required permissions on that page.
    • Amazon ECS — an ECS cluster on the EC2 launch type (Fargate is not supported) with container instances on kernel 5.10+ with BTF. See the ECS system requirements for the full list.
  • At least one process or application on the host that is written in a supported language.
