Cloud Collector

The cloud collector gathers metadata from a cloud provider. Currently supported cloud providers are AWS and GCP.

Running

To list all the available command-line options:

$ cloud-collector --help

The EBPF_NET_INTAKE_HOST and EBPF_NET_INTAKE_PORT environment variables are required and must be set before running:

$ export EBPF_NET_INTAKE_HOST=192.168.0.101
$ export EBPF_NET_INTAKE_PORT=8000
$ cloud-collector –-no-log-file --log-console

The EBPF_NET_INTAKE_HOST environment variable should point to the IP address or hostname of a running reducer instance

Environment variables

• EBPF_NET_INTAKE_HOST: IP address or host name of the reducer to which telemetry is to be sent.
• EBPF_NET_INTAKE_PORT: TCP port number on which the reducer is listening for collector connections. Usually 8000.
• EBPF_NET_DATA_DIR: Directory in which the program will read and potentially write data files. If not specified the current working directory will be used.
• EBPF_NET_LOG_FILE_PATH: Location of the file in which logging messages are written. Default value is /var/log/ebpf_net.log.
