Описание (Description)
The Linux Trace Toolkit: next generation <https://lttng.org/> is
an open source software package used for correlated tracing of
the Linux kernel, user applications, and user libraries.
LTTng consists of Linux kernel modules (for Linux kernel tracing)
and dynamically loaded libraries (for user application and
library tracing).
An LTTng session daemon, lttng-sessiond(8), receives commands
from the command-line interface lttng to control the LTTng
tracers. All interactions with the LTTng tracers happen through
the lttng tool or through the liblttng-ctl library shipped with
the LTTng-tools package.
A tracing domain is a tracer category. There are five available
domains. For some commands, the domain needs to be specified with
a command-line option. The domain options are:
-j, --jul
Apply command to the java.util.logging (JUL) domain.
-k, --kernel
Apply command to the Linux kernel domain.
-l, --log4j
Apply command to the Apache log4j 1.2
<https://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/> (Java) domain.
-p, --python
Apply command to the Python <https://www.python.org/> domain.
-u, --userspace
Apply command to the user space domain (application using
liblttng-ust directly; see lttng-ust(3)).
The LTTng session daemon is a tracing registry which allows the
user to interact with multiple tracers (kernel and user space)
within the same container, a tracing session. Traces can be
gathered from the Linux kernel and/or from instrumented
applications (see lttng-ust(3)). You can aggregate and read the
events of LTTng traces using babeltrace(1).
To trace the Linux kernel, the session daemon needs to be running
as root. LTTng uses a tracing group to allow specific users to
interact with the root session daemon. The default tracing group
name is tracing. You can use the --group option to set the
tracing group name to use.
Session daemons can coexist. You can have a session daemon
running as user Alice that can be used to trace her applications
alongside a root session daemon or a session daemon running as
user Bob.
Note
It is highly recommended to start the session daemon at boot
time for stable and long-term tracing.
User applications instrumented with LTTng automatically register
to the root session daemon and to user session daemons. This
allows any session daemon to list the available traceable
applications and event sources (see lttng-list(1)).
By default, the lttng-create(1) command automatically spawns a
user session daemon if none is currently running. The --no-
sessiond general option can be set to avoid this.
Параметры (Options)
-g GROUP, --group=GROUP
Use GROUP as Unix tracing group (default: tracing).
-m TYPE, --mi=TYPE
Print the command's result using the machine interface type
TYPE instead of a human-readable output.
Supported types: xml.
The machine interface (MI) mode converts the traditional
pretty-printing to a machine output syntax. The MI mode
provides a change-resistant way to access information
generated by the lttng command-line program.
When using the MI mode, the data is printed to the standard
output. Errors and warnings are printed on the standard error
with the pretty-print default format.
If any error occurs during the execution of a command, the
return value of the command will be different than 0. In this
case, lttng does NOT guarantee the syntax and data validity
of the generated MI output.
For the xml MI type, an XML schema definition (XSD) file used
for validation is available: see the src/common/mi_lttng.xsd
file in the LTTng-tools source tree.
-n, --no-sessiond
Do not automatically spawn a session daemon.
-q, --quiet
Suppress all messages, including warnings and errors.
--sessiond-path=PATH
Set the session daemon binary's absolute path to PATH.
-v, --verbose
Increase verbosity.
Three levels of verbosity are available, which are triggered
by appending additional v letters to the option (that is, -vv
and -vvv).
Program information
-h, --help
Show help.
--list-commands
List available commands.
--list-options
List available general options.
-V, --version
Show version.

Переменные окружения (Environment variables)
LTTNG_ABORT_ON_ERROR
Set to 1 to abort the process after the first error is
encountered.
LTTNG_HOME
Overrides the $HOME environment variable. Useful when the
user running the commands has a non-writable home directory.
LTTNG_MAN_BIN_PATH
Absolute path to the man pager to use for viewing help
information about LTTng commands (using lttng-help(1) or
lttng COMMAND --help).
LTTNG_SESSION_CONFIG_XSD_PATH

schema may be found.
LTTNG_SESSIOND_PATH
Full session daemon binary path.
The --sessiond-path option has precedence over this
environment variable.
Note that the lttng-create(1) command can spawn an LTTng session
daemon automatically if none is running. See lttng-sessiond(8)
for the environment variables influencing the execution of the
session daemon.
Файлы (Files)

This is where the per-user current tracing session is stored
between executions of lttng(1). The current tracing session
can be set with lttng-set-session(1). See lttng-create(1) for
more information about tracing sessions.
$LTTNG_HOME/lttng-traces
Default output directory of LTTng traces. This can be

command.
$LTTNG_HOME/.lttng
User LTTng runtime and configuration directory.
$LTTNG_HOME/.lttng/sessions
