LTTNG-LIST(1)

NAME¶

lttng-list - List LTTng recording sessions and instrumentation points

SYNOPSIS¶

List the recording sessions:

lttng [GENERAL OPTIONS] list

List the tracing domains of a recording session with at least one channel:

lttng [GENERAL OPTIONS] list --domain SESSION

List the channels and recording event rules of a recording session:

lttng [GENERAL OPTIONS] list [--channel=CHANNEL] SESSION


      [--kernel] [--userspace] [--jul] [--log4j] [--python]

List the available LTTng tracepoints, Linux system calls, and/or Java/Python loggers:

lttng [GENERAL OPTIONS] list [--fields]


      [--kernel [--syscall]] [--userspace] [--jul] [--log4j] [--python]

DESCRIPTION¶

The lttng list command lists:

Without arguments

The recording sessions of your Unix user, or of all users if your Unix user is root, within the connected session daemon.

See the “Session daemon connection” section of lttng(1) to learn how a user application connects to a session daemon.

The command shows recording session properties such as their output directories/URLs and whether or not they’re active.

With the SESSION argument

With the --domain option

The tracing domains (with at least one channel) of the recording session named SESSION.

Without the --domain option

With the --channel=CHANNEL option

The recording event rules of the channel CHANNEL of the recording session named SESSION.

Without the --channel option

The channels of the recording session named SESSION and their recording event rules.

Use the dedicated tracing domain options (--kernel, --userspace, --jul, --log4j, and --python) to only show specific channels.

Without the SESSION argument and with at least one dedicated tracing domain option

With the --kernel option

Without the --syscall option

The available LTTng kernel tracepoints.

With the --syscall option

The available, instrumented Linux system calls.

With the --userspace option

The available LTTng user space tracepoints.

With the --jul, --log4j, and/or --python options

The available java.util.logging, Apache log4j, and/or Python logger names.

Also list the available instrumentation point fields with the --fields option.

See lttng-concepts(7) to learn more about recording sessions, tracing domains, channels, recording event rules, and instrumentation points.

See the “EXAMPLES” section below for usage examples.

List the channels and recording event rules of the current recording session (see lttng-concepts(7) to learn more) with the lttng-status(1) command.

OPTIONS¶

See lttng(1) for GENERAL OPTIONS.

Tracing domain¶

-j, --jul

Without the SESSION argument

List the java.util.logging logger names.

With the SESSION argument

Only list the java.util.logging channels and their recording event rules.

-k, --kernel

Without the SESSION argument

List the LTTng kernel instrumentation points.

With the SESSION argument

Only list the Linux kernel channels and their recording event rules.

-l, --log4j

Without the SESSION argument

List the Apache log4j logger names.

With the SESSION argument

Only list the Apache log4j channels and their recording event rules.

-p, --python

Without the SESSION argument

List the Python logger names.

With the SESSION argument

Only list the Python channels and their recording event rules.

-u, --userspace

Without the SESSION argument

List the LTTng user space tracepoints.

With the SESSION argument

Only list the user space channels and their recording event rules.

Filtering¶

-c CHANNEL, --channel=CHANNEL

Only list the properties and recording event rules of the channel named CHANNEL.

Only available with the SESSION argument.

-d, --domain

Show the tracing domains with at least one channel of the recording session named SESSION.

-f, --fields

When listing instrumentation points, also show their fields if they’re available.

--syscall

When listing LTTng kernel instrumentation points, only list Linux system calls.

Program information¶

-h, --help

Show help.

This option attempts to launch /usr/bin/man to view this manual page. Override the manual pager path with the LTTNG_MAN_BIN_PATH environment variable.

--list-options

List available command options and quit.

EXIT STATUS¶

0

Success

1

Command error

2

Undefined command

3

Fatal error

4

Command warning (something went wrong during the command)

ENVIRONMENT¶

LTTNG_ABORT_ON_ERROR

Set to 1 to abort the process after the first error is encountered.

LTTNG_HOME

Path to the LTTng home directory.

Defaults to $HOME.

Useful when the Unix user running the commands has a non-writable home directory.

LTTNG_MAN_BIN_PATH

Absolute path to the manual pager to use to read the LTTng command-line help (with lttng-help(1) or with the --help option) instead of /usr/bin/man.

LTTNG_SESSION_CONFIG_XSD_PATH

Path to the directory containing the session.xsd recording session configuration XML schema.

LTTNG_SESSIOND_PATH

Absolute path to the LTTng session daemon binary (see lttng-sessiond(8)) to spawn from the lttng-create(1) command.

The --sessiond-path general option overrides this environment variable.

FILES¶

$LTTNG_HOME/.lttngrc

Unix user’s LTTng runtime configuration.

This is where LTTng stores the name of the Unix user’s current recording session between executions of lttng(1). lttng-create(1) and lttng-set-session(1) set the current recording session.

$LTTNG_HOME/lttng-traces

Default output directory of LTTng traces in local and snapshot modes.

Override this path with the --output option of the lttng-create(1) command.

$LTTNG_HOME/.lttng

Unix user’s LTTng runtime and configuration directory.

$LTTNG_HOME/.lttng/sessions

Default directory containing the Unix user’s saved recording session configurations (see lttng-save(1) and lttng-load(1)).

/usr/local/etc/lttng/sessions

Directory containing the system-wide saved recording session configurations (see lttng-save(1) and lttng-load(1)).

Note

$LTTNG_HOME defaults to the value of the HOME environment variable.

EXAMPLES¶

Example 1. List the recording sessions.

$ lttng list

Example 2. Show the details of a specific recording session.

$ lttng list my-session

Example 3. List the available Linux kernel system call instrumentation points.

$ lttng list --kernel --syscall

Example 4. List the available user space tracepoints with their fields.

See the --fields option.

$ lttng list --userspace --fields

Example 5. List the tracing domains of a specific recording session having at least one channel.

See the --domain option.

$ lttng list --domain my-session

Example 6. Show the details of a specific channel in a specific recording session.

See the --channel option.

$ lttng list my-session --channel=channel0
