| 2026 | XPLOG: A Dynamic Observability Framework for Distributed Sandboxed MicroservicesabstractRuntime application observability is crucial not only for system provenance but also for the orchestration of deployed microservices in dynamic sandboxed distributed computing environments. Also, log extraction and aggregation in highly distributed and sandboxed environments pose significant challenges, especially when preserving the causal order of the events triggered by different asynchronous microservices running over multiple hosts. However, ensuring causally consistent logging of application events is challenging, although it is vital for continuously tracing and profiling the underlying platform. This paper proposesXPLOG, a scalable, pluggable, easily deployable, and dynamic runtime observability framework for distributed sandboxed computing platforms that leverages the capability of extended Berkeley Packet Filters (eBPF) to intercept system-level events within the host while capturing and amalgamating relevant application and system logs to produce globally causally-consistent log streams. Through qualitative and quantitative analysis, we observe thatXPLOGsignificantly improves log richness with minimum system overhead while preserving the causality of log-generating events across multiple microservices.
