tetragon_msg_op_total was counting events per opcode in the ring buffer queue. It wasn't particularly useful, as there are other metrics exposing similar numbers:
If needed, in the future we can add opcode label to metrics counting events in the observer:
We could also add a metric counting all events (not only missed) per opcode in BPF. However, it's unclear if they could be useful - ringbuffer and events queue shouldn't discriminate different types of events, so having total counts of successful and missed events at each stage should be enough to troubleshoot capacity issues. There is still a per event type counter at the last stage, for monitoring overall data volume.
