Tracing agents
Tracing agents capture request data and convert it into spans, which can sometimes be used to block requests. These agents can be deployed in several 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.
