NAME

       babeltrace2 - Convert or process one or more traces, and more

SYNOPSIS

       babeltrace2 [--debug | --verbose | --log-level=LVL]
                   [--omit-home-plugin-path] [--omit-system-plugin-path]
                   [--plugin-path=PATH[:PATH]...] [CMD] [CMD ARGS]

DESCRIPTION

       babeltrace2 is an open-source trace converter and processor command-line program. The tool
       can open one or more traces and convert between multiple formats, possibly with one or
       more filters in the conversion path, and perform other operations depending on the command
       CMD (see “COMMANDS”).

           Note
           You might be looking for the babeltrace2-convert(1) command’s manual page; the convert
           command is the default command of babeltrace2 and is backward compatible with
           babeltrace(1).

           See “EXAMPLES” for convert command examples.

       See babeltrace2-intro(7) to learn more about the Babeltrace 2 project and its core
       concepts.

       Most of the babeltrace2 commands load Babeltrace 2 plugins to perform their operation. The
       search path for Babeltrace 2 plugins is, in this order:

        1. The colon-separated (or semicolon, on Windows) list of directories in the
           BABELTRACE_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable.

        2. The colon-separated (or semicolon, on Windows) list of directories in the --plugin-
           path option.

        3. $HOME/.local/lib/babeltrace2/plugins

        4. /usr/lib/babeltrace2/plugins

       You can use the babeltrace2-list-plugins(1) command to dynamically list the available
       plugins and what they offer. See “PROJECT’S PLUGINS” for a list of plugins shipped with
       Babeltrace 2.

OPTIONS

       -d, --debug
           Legacy option: this is equivalent to --log-level=TRACE.

       -l LVL, --log-level=LVL
           Set the log level of all known Babeltrace 2 loggers to LVL, including individual
           components for the babeltrace2-convert(1) and babeltrace2-run(1) commands.

           You can override the log level of a specific component with the --log-level option of
           the babeltrace2-convert(1) or babeltrace2-run(1) commands.

           You can override the log level of the library with the LIBBABELTRACE2_INIT_LOG_LEVEL
           environment variable.

           You can override the log level of the CLI with the BABELTRACE_CLI_LOG_LEVEL
           environment variable.

           You can override the log level of the Babeltrace 2 Python bindings with the
           BABELTRACE_PYTHON_BT2_LOG_LEVEL environment variable.

           The available values for LVL are:

           NONE, N
               Logging is disabled.

           FATAL, F
               Severe errors that lead the execution to abort immediately.

               This level should be enabled in production.

           ERROR, E
               Errors that might still allow the execution to continue.

               Usually, once one or more errors are reported at this level, the application,
               plugin, or library won’t perform any more useful task, but it should still exit
               cleanly.

               This level should be enabled in production.

           WARN, WARNING, W
               Unexpected situations which still allow the execution to continue.

               This level should be enabled in production.

           INFO, I
               Informational messages that highlight progress or important states of the
               application, plugins, or library.

               This level can be enabled in production.

           DEBUG, D
               Debugging information, with a higher level of details than the TRACE level.

               This level should NOT be enabled in production.

           TRACE, T
               Low-level debugging context information.

               This level should NOT be enabled in production.

       --omit-home-plugin-path
           Do not search for plugins in $HOME/.local/lib/babeltrace2/plugins.

       --omit-system-plugin-path
           Do not search for plugins in /usr/lib/babeltrace2/plugins.

       --plugin-path=PATH[:PATH]...
           Add PATH to the list of paths in which plugins can be found.

       -v, --verbose
           Legacy option: this is equivalent to --log-level=INFO.

           If CMD is convert or is missing, then this also sets the verbose parameter of the
           implicit sink.text.pretty component (see babeltrace2-sink.text.pretty(7)) to true.

       -h, --help
           Show help and quit.

       -V, --version
           Show version and quit.

COMMANDS

       The following commands also have their own --help option.

       convert
           Convert one or more traces to a given format, possibly with filters in the conversion
           path.

           This is the default command: you don’t need to explicitly specify this command’s name
           to use it.

           This command is backward compatible with the babeltrace(1) program.

           See babeltrace2-convert(1).

       help
           Get help for a specific plugin or plugin’s component class.

           See babeltrace2-help(1).

       list-plugins
           List the available Babeltrace 2 plugins and their component classes.

           See babeltrace2-list-plugins(1).

       query
           Query an object from a component class.

           See babeltrace2-query(1).

       run
           Build a trace processing graph and run it.

           See babeltrace2-run(1).

EXAMPLES

       The following examples are the same as the babeltrace2-convert(1) manual page’s examples
       because convert is the default babeltrace2 program’s command.

       Example 1. Pretty-print the events, in order, of one or more CTF traces.

           $ babeltrace2 my-ctf-traces

           $ babeltrace2 my-ctf-traces

           $ babeltrace2 my-ctf-trace-1 my-ctf-trace-2 my-ctf-trace-3

       Example 2. Trim a CTF trace and pretty-print the events.

           $ babeltrace2 my-ctf-trace --begin=22:55:43.658582931 \
                                      --end=22:55:46.967687564

           $ babeltrace2 my-trace --begin=22:55:43.658582931

           $ babeltrace2 my-trace --end=22:55:46.967687564

           $ babeltrace2 my-trace --timerange=22:55:43,22:55:46.967687564

       Example 3. Trim a CTF trace, enable the stream intersection mode, and write a CTF trace.

           $ babeltrace2 my-ctf-trace --stream-intersection \
                         --timerange=22:55:43,22:55:46.967687564 \
                         --output-format=ctf --output=out-ctf-trace

       Example 4. Print the available remote LTTng sessions (through LTTng live).

           $ babeltrace2 --input-format=lttng-live net://localhost

       Example 5. Pretty-print LTTng live events.

           $ babeltrace2 net://localhost/host/myhostname/my-session-name

       Example 6. Record LTTng live traces to the file system (as CTF traces).

           $ babeltrace2 net://localhost/host/myhostname/my-session-name \
                         --params=session-not-found-action=end \
                         --output-format=ctf --output=out-ctf-traces

       Example 7. Read a CTF trace as fast as possible using a dummy output.

           $ babeltrace2 my-trace --output-format=dummy

       Example 8. Read three CTF traces in stream intersection mode, add debugging information,
       and pretty-print them to a file.

           $ babeltrace2 ctf-trace1 ctf-trace2 ctf-trace3 --stream-intersection \
                         --debug-info --output=pretty-out

       Example 9. Pretty-print a CTF trace and traces from an explicit source component, with the
       event times showed in seconds since the Unix epoch.

           $ babeltrace2 ctf-trace --component=src.my-plugin.my-src \
                         --params='path="spec-trace",output-some-event-type=yes' \
                         --clock-seconds

       Example 10. Send LTTng live events to an explicit sink component.

           $ babeltrace2 net://localhost/host/myhostname/mysession \
                         --component=sink.my-plugin.my-sink

       Example 11. Trim a CTF trace, add debugging information, apply an explicit filter
       component, and write as a CTF trace.

           $ babeltrace2 /path/to/ctf/trace --timerange=22:14:38,22:15:07 \
                         --debug-info --component=filter.my-plugin.my-filter \
                         --params=criteria=xyz,ignore-abc=yes \
                         --output-format=ctf --output=out-ctf-trace

       Example 12. Print the metadata text of a CTF trace.

           $ babeltrace2 /path/to/ctf/trace --output-format=ctf-metadata

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

   Babeltrace 2 library
       BABELTRACE_EXEC_ON_ABORT=CMDLINE
           Execute the command line CMDLINE, as parsed like a UNIX 98 shell, when any part of the
           Babeltrace 2 project unexpectedly aborts.

           The application only aborts when the executed command returns, ignoring its exit
           status.

           This environment variable is ignored when the application has the setuid or the setgid
           access right flag set.

       BABELTRACE_TERM_COLOR=(AUTO | NEVER | ALWAYS)
           Force the terminal color support for the babeltrace2(1) program and the project’s
           plugins.

           The available values are:

           AUTO
               Only emit terminal color codes when the standard output and error streams are
               connected to a color-capable terminal.

           NEVER
               Never emit terminal color codes.

           ALWAYS
               Always emit terminal color codes.

       BABELTRACE_TERM_COLOR_BRIGHT_MEANS_BOLD=0
           Set to 0 to emit SGR (see <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code>) codes 90
           to 97 for bright colors instead of bold (SGR code 1) and standard color codes (SGR
           codes 30 to 37).

       BABELTRACE_PLUGIN_PATH=PATHS
           Set the list of directories, in order, in which dynamic plugins can be found before
           other directories are considered to PATHS (colon-separated, or semicolon on Windows).

       LIBBABELTRACE2_DISABLE_PYTHON_PLUGINS=1
           Disable the loading of any Babeltrace 2 Python plugin.

       LIBBABELTRACE2_INIT_LOG_LEVEL=LVL
           Force the Babeltrace 2 library’s initial log level to be LVL.

           If this environment variable is set, it overrides the log level set by the --log-level
           option for the Babeltrace 2 library logger.

           The available values for LVL are:

           NONE, N
               Logging is disabled.

           FATAL, F
               Severe errors that lead the execution to abort immediately.

               This level should be enabled in production.

           ERROR, E
               Errors that might still allow the execution to continue.

               Usually, once one or more errors are reported at this level, the application,
               plugin, or library won’t perform any more useful task, but it should still exit
               cleanly.

               This level should be enabled in production.

           WARN, WARNING, W
               Unexpected situations which still allow the execution to continue.

               This level should be enabled in production.

           INFO, I
               Informational messages that highlight progress or important states of the
               application, plugins, or library.

               This level can be enabled in production.

           DEBUG, D
               Debugging information, with a higher level of details than the TRACE level.

               This level should NOT be enabled in production.

           TRACE, T
               Low-level debugging context information.

               This level should NOT be enabled in production.

       LIBBABELTRACE2_NO_DLCLOSE=1
           Make the Babeltrace 2 library leave any dynamically loaded modules (plugins and plugin
           providers) open at exit. This can be useful for debugging purposes.

       LIBBABELTRACE2_PLUGIN_PROVIDER_DIR=DIR
           Set the directory from which the Babeltrace 2 library dynamically loads plugin
           provider shared objects to DIR.

           If this environment variable is set, it overrides the default plugin provider
           directory.

   Babeltrace 2 Python bindings
       BABELTRACE_PYTHON_BT2_LOG_LEVEL=LVL
           Force the Babeltrace 2 Python bindings log level to be LVL.

           If this environment variable is set, it overrides the log level set by the --log-level
           option for the Python bindings logger.

           The available values for LVL are:

           NONE, N
               Logging is disabled.

           FATAL, F
               Severe errors that lead the execution to abort immediately.

               This level should be enabled in production.

           ERROR, E
               Errors that might still allow the execution to continue.

               Usually, once one or more errors are reported at this level, the application,
               plugin, or library won’t perform any more useful task, but it should still exit
               cleanly.

               This level should be enabled in production.

           WARN, WARNING, W
               Unexpected situations which still allow the execution to continue.

               This level should be enabled in production.

           INFO, I
               Informational messages that highlight progress or important states of the
               application, plugins, or library.

               This level can be enabled in production.

           DEBUG, D
               Debugging information, with a higher level of details than the TRACE level.

               This level should NOT be enabled in production.

           TRACE, T
               Low-level debugging context information.

               This level should NOT be enabled in production.

   CLI
       BABELTRACE_CLI_LOG_LEVEL=LVL
           Force babeltrace2 CLI’s log level to be LVL.

           If this environment variable is set, it overrides the log level set by the --log-level
           option for the CLI logger.

           The available values for LVL are:

           NONE, N
               Logging is disabled.

           FATAL, F
               Severe errors that lead the execution to abort immediately.

               This level should be enabled in production.

           ERROR, E
               Errors that might still allow the execution to continue.

               Usually, once one or more errors are reported at this level, the application,
               plugin, or library won’t perform any more useful task, but it should still exit
               cleanly.

               This level can be enabled in production.

           DEBUG, D
               Debugging information, with a higher level of details than the TRACE level.

               This level should NOT be enabled in production.

           TRACE, T
               Low-level debugging context information.

               This level should NOT be enabled in production.

       BABELTRACE_CLI_WARN_COMMAND_NAME_DIRECTORY_CLASH=0
           Disable the warning message which babeltrace2-convert(1) prints when you convert a
           trace with a relative path that’s also the name of a babeltrace2 command.

       BABELTRACE_DEBUG=1
           Legacy variable: equivalent to setting the --log-level option to TRACE.

       BABELTRACE_VERBOSE=1
           Legacy variable: equivalent to setting the --log-level option to INFO.
