Tracing agents
Tracing agents capture request data and convert them into spans and at times can be used to block requests. These agents can be deployed a number of ways, including out of band via traffic mirroring in AWS/GCP, Kubernetes (DaemonSet and/or eBPF), proxy/mesh modules for Kong, Kuma, Istio, Apigee, Ambassador and more.
