starting thread here. Pretty sure buildkit doesn't have that sort of visibility since it's not aware of what exec Exec op does at the FS level cc @marsh wing

Having said that, having an eBPF observability tool on top of buildkit / dagger ops would be quite interesting to do.

Wondering what the use-case is here @ember vector

yeah exactly, ebpf was my other thought

#

Use case:
mostly convenience. my org uses lots of templated files. boilerplate abounds. lots of it is really old and never gets properly cleaned up. I'd love to be able to write a script that says "hey these files were never touched during the build, consider removing them"

that is a very cool idea, and worthy of an issue so we don’t lose sight of it IMO!

Agreed, this would be pretty badass and seems like if it can be done purely in ebpf it shouldn't add much overhead either.

Wiring it in with otel traces would be 🍰
