why don't Port bcc libbpf-tools to ebpf_exporter example

[cdkunsong]

hi,
For ebpf_exporter, I would like to ask a question:
I see that ebpf_exporter supports bpf related,
for https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/tree/master/libbpf-tools，it have some good metrics example.
Why ebpf_exporter don't integrated libbpf-tools.
From the code point of view, it is possible, is there any other reason?

libbpf-tools are cli tools with varying plaintext output, ebpf_exporter is for properly formatted prometheus metrics.

Do you have a concrete idea on how these should be integrated?

[cdkunsong]

yes, I checked biolatency.bpf.c, it references https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/blob/master/libbpf-tools/biolatency.bpf.c
What I want to know is why the inclusion of other related bpf programs is not considered?
Of course, it has some work to do.

The included programs are examples, they are not the exhaustive set of what you can have. We add what we use and we certainly don't have the time to port every libbpf-tools program out there.

Thank you for your answer!

I have understood the situation,close issue.
