I'm exploring options for a suitable monitoring solution for network packets in a Kubernetes cluster, which also provides detailed control over container-specific metrics such as CPU and memory usage. I'm considering using Pixie since it offers eBPF, but I'm not sure if it is dependable for monitoring resource usage and storing them in a time-series database. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
