NAME

       lttng-metadata - Manage an LTTng tracing session's metadata generation

SYNOPSIS

       lttng [GENERAL OPTIONS] metadata regenerate [--session=SESSION]

DESCRIPTION

           Warning
           This command is deprecated; it has been replaced by lttng regenerate metadata (see
           lttng-regenerate(1)).

OPTIONS

       General options are described in lttng(1).

       -s SESSION, --session=SESSION
           Manage the metadata generation of the tracing session named SESSION instead of the
           current tracing session.

   Program information
       -h, --help
           Show command help.

           This option, like lttng-help(1), attempts to launch /usr/bin/man to view the command’s
           man page. The path to the man pager can be overridden by the LTTNG_MAN_BIN_PATH
           environment variable.

       --list-options
           List available command options.

LIMITATIONS

       The lttng metadata regenerate command can only be used on kernel and user space tracing
       sessions (using per-user buffering), in non-live mode.

       See lttng-enable-channel(1) for more information about buffering schemes and lttng-
       create(1) for more information about the different tracing session modes.

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
           Path in which the session.xsd session configuration XML 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.

FILES

       $LTTNG_HOME/.lttngrc
           User LTTng runtime configuration.

           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 overridden with the --output
           option of the lttng-create(1) command.

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

       $LTTNG_HOME/.lttng/sessions
           Default location of saved user tracing sessions (see lttng-save(1) and lttng-load(1)).

       /etc/lttng/sessions
           System-wide location of saved tracing sessions (see lttng-save(1) and lttng-load(1)).

           Note
           $LTTNG_HOME defaults to $HOME when not explicitly set.

EXIT STATUS

       0
           Success

       1
           Command error

       2
           Undefined command

       3
           Fatal error

       4
           Command warning (something went wrong during the command)
