This manual page was generated for systemtap 4.6. The following
section will list the main paths in systemtap that are important
to know and may be required to reference.
/usr/local/share/systemtap/tapset/
The directory for the standard probe-alias / function
tapset library, unless overridden by the SYSTEMTAP_TAPSET
environment variable or the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment
variable. These are described in the stapprobes(3stap),
probe::*(3stap), and function::*(3stap) manual pages.
/usr/local/share/systemtap/runtime/
The runtime sources, unless overridden by the
SYSTEMTAP_RUNTIME environment variable.
/usr/local/bin/staprun
The auxiliary program supervising module loading,
interaction, and unloading.
${prefix}/etc/stap-exporter
The default directory to search for *.stp files, for
exporting to HTTP.
${exec_prefix}/libexec/systemtap/stapio
The auxiliary program for module input and output
handling.
/usr/include/sys/sdt.h
Location of the <sys/sdt.h> headers.
Kernel debuginfo Path: /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/
The location of kernel debugging information when packaged
into the kernel-debuginfo RPM, unless overridden by the
SYSTEMTAP_DEBUGINFO_PATH environment variable. The
default value for this variable is
+:.debug:/usr/lib/debug:build. elfutils searches vmlinux
in this path and it interprets the path as a base
directory of which various subdirectories will be searched
for finding debuginfo for the kernel, kernel modules, and
user-space binaries. By default, systemtap will also look
for vmlinux in these locations:
/boot/vmlinux-`uname -r`
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/vmlinux
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/vmlinux.debug
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/vmlinux
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/.debug/vmlinux.debug
/usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/`uname -r`/vmlinux.debug
/var/cache/abrt-di/usr/debug/lib/modules/`uname -r`/
/var/cache/abrt-di/usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/`uname -r`/vmlinux.debug
Corresponding source files are usually located under
/usr/src/debug/. Further file information on user-space
applications can be determined per-basis using rpm -ql
<package>-debuginfo. For supported user-space applications
information please visit the systemtap wiki.
With elfutils version >0.178, systemtap can automatically
download debugging information from debuginfod servers.
You can try it by setting an environment variable or two:
export DEBUGINFOD_URLS=https://debuginfod.elfutils.org/
export DEBUGINFOD_PROGRESS=1
$HOME/.systemtap
Systemtap data directory for cached systemtap files,
unless overridden by the SYSTEMTAP_DIR environment
variable.
/tmp/stapXXXXXX
Temporary directory for systemtap files, including
translated C code and kernel object.
/lib/modules/VERSION/build
The location of kernel module building infrastructure.
/usr/local/share/doc/systemtap*/examples
Examples with greater detail can be found here. Each
example comes with a .txt or .meta file explaining what
the example, sample or demo does and how it is ordinarily
run. See also online at:
https://sourceware.org/systemtap/examples/
$SYSTEMTAP_DIR/ssl/server
User's server-side SSL certificate database. If
SYSTEMTAP_DIR is not set, the default is $HOME/.systemtap.
$SYSTEMTAP_DIR/ssl/client
User's private client-side SSL certificate database. If
SYSTEMTAP_DIR is not set, the default is $HOME/.systemtap.
${prefix}/etc/systemtap/ssl/client
Global client-side SSL certificate database.
${prefix}/etc/systemtap/staprun/
staprun's trusted signer certificate database.
${prefix}/etc/sysconfig/stap-server
stap-server service global configuration file.
${prefix}/etc/sysconfig/stap-exporter
stap-exporter service global configuration file.
${prefix}/var/run/stap-server/
stap-server service default location of status files for
running servers.
${prefix}/var/log/stap-server/log
stap-server service default log file.
