OpenTelemetry profiles signal and the eBPF profiler (otelcol-ebpf-profiler, `profiling` receiver). Use when setting up continuous profiling with OpenTelemetry, deploying the eBPF profiler on Linux hosts, Docker, or Kubernetes (DaemonSet, kind, k3d), building a profiles pipeline, sending OTLP profiles to Pyroscope, Grafana Cloud Profiles, or another backend, getting flame graphs from OTel, enabling off-CPU profiling, or debugging profiler errors about tracefs, PID namespaces, missing pods, or…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# OpenTelemetry Profiles The main OpenTelemetry producer is the [eBPF profiler](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-ebpf-profiler), shipped as the `profiling` receiver in the [`otelcol-ebpf-profiler`](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-releases/tree/main/distributions/otelcol-ebpf-profiler) Collector distribution. It profiles every process on a Linux host with no application changes. Maturity: the signal entered [public Alpha](https://opentelemetry.io/blog/2026/profiles-alpha/) in March 2026, the OTLP profiles proto (`v1development`) is Development, the `profiling` receiver is Development, and the Collector gate `service.profilesSupport` is alpha. Expect breaking changes; pin the profiler, Collector, and backend versions together. Collector-side component facts (OTLP receiver/exporter profile support, the fixed `/v1development/profiles` HTTP path, `k8s_attributes`, `memory_limiter`, `filter` `profile_conditions`) live in the `otel-collector` skill's component pages; OTTL `profile`/`profilesample` contexts live in `otel-ottl`. …

How to install
mdr add ollygarden/opentelemetry-agent-skills/otel-profiles@sha256:ca5fab5bb274f49bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.43d7f5a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
