About Tracee¶

Tracee is a runtime security and observability tool that helps you understand how your system and applications behave.
It is using eBPF technology to tap into your system and expose that information as events that you can consume.
Events range from factual system activity events to sophisticated security events that detect suspicious behavioral patterns.

To learn more about Tracee, check out the documentation.

Quickstart¶

To quickly try Tracee use one of the following snippets. For a more complete installation guide, check out the Installation section.
