lttng Package¶
lttng
Module¶
Trace kernel events with Linux Tracing Toolkit (lttng). You need to install the lttng patched kernel in order to use the profiler.
Examples:
job.profilers.add('lttng', tracepoints = None): enable all trace points.
job.profilers.add('lttng', tracepoints = []): disable all trace points.
job.profilers.add('lttng', tracepoints = ['kernel_arch_syscall_entry',
'kernel_arch_syscall_exit'])
will only trace syscall events. Take a look at /proc/ltt for the list of the tracing events currently supported by lttng and their output formats.
To view the collected traces, copy results/your-test/profiler/lttng to a machine that has Linux Tracing Toolkit Viewer (lttv) installed:
test$ scp -r results/your-test/profiler/lttng user@localmachine:/home/tmp/
Then you can examine the traces either in text mode or in GUI:
localmachine$ lttv -m textDump -t /home/tmp/lttng
or
localmachine$ lttv-gui -t /home/tmp/lttng &
