Abstract

A computer-implemented method of monitoring programmatic containers (containers) performed through executing a monitoring component in a user space is disclosed. The method comprises selecting, by a processor, one or more execution points from a plurality of execution points; causing, by the processor, a computer programs to be loaded into a virtual machine, the virtual machine verifying execution of the computer program before running the computer program in a kernel space; causing the computer program to be executed directly in the kernel space when execution of a process associated with one of a plurality of containers reaches the one execution point, each of the plurality of containers being associated with a distinct set of resources of a kernel of the kernel space, the computer program storing specific data in one or more memory buffers managed directly by the kernel and shared by the kernel space and the user space, the specific data including trace data related to execution of the process at the one execution point and container data related to the one container; receiving the specific data from the one or more memory buffers; causing a display of the container-specific tra…
