# eBPF monitoring with Netdata
-The Netdata Agent provides many [eBPF](https://ebpf.io/what-is-ebpf/) programs to help you troubleshoot and debug how applications interact with the Linux kernel. The `ebpf.plugin` uses [tracepoints, trampoline, and2 kprobes](#data-collection) to collect a wide array of high value data about the host that would otherwise be impossible to capture.

> ❗ eBPF monitoring only works on Linux systems and with specific Linux kernels, including all kernels newer than `4.11.0`, and all kernels on CentOS 7.6 or later. For kernels older than `4.11.0`, improved support is in active development.

## How Netdata collects data using probes and tracepoints
Netdata uses the following features from the Linux kernel to run eBPF programs:
