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-concept(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-
concept(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)).
/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
