Notes (Dynamic / Breakpoint Probe)

A Dynamic / Breakpoint probe is a type of probe that utilizes a software or hardware breakpoint, depending on the programming language.

This is a riskier probe type because the instruction pointer will transfer into the underlying kernel facilities. However, it is not as risky as a traditional debugger, as the instruction pointer will not be frozen. Instead, it will simply collect the memory and exit using standard OpenTelemetry.

Some types of Dyanmic / Breakpoint Probes may include.

1. uProbe
2. dotnet
3. pTrace
4. dtrace (etc)
