NAME
stappaths - systemtap configurable file paths
DESCRIPTION
This manual page was generated on 2016-04-02 for systemtap 2.9. The following section will list the main
paths in systemtap that are important to know and may be required to reference.
/usr/share/systemtap/tapset/
The directory for the standard probe-alias / function tapset library, unless overridden by the
SYSTEMTAP_TAPSET environment variable or the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable. These are
described in the stapprobes(3stap), probe::*(3stap), and function::*(3stap) manual pages.
/usr/share/systemtap/runtime/
The runtime sources, unless overridden by the SYSTEMTAP_RUNTIME environment variable.
/usr/bin/staprun
The auxiliary program supervising module loading, interaction, and unloading.
/usr/lib/systemtap/stapio
The auxiliary program for module input and output handling.
/usr/include/sys/sdt.h
Location of the <sys/sdt.h> headers.
Kernel debuginfo Path: /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/
The location of kernel debugging information when packaged into the kernel-debuginfo RPM, unless
overridden by the SYSTEMTAP_DEBUGINFO_PATH environment variable. The default value for this
variable is +:.debug:/usr/lib/debug:build. elfutils searches vmlinux in this path and it
interprets the path as a base directory of which various subdirectories will be searched for
finding debuginfo for the kernel, kernel modules, and user-space binaries. By default, systemtap
will also look for vmlinux in these locations:
/boot/vmlinux-`uname -r`
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/vmlinux
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/vmlinux.debug
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/vmlinux
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/.debug/vmlinux.debug
/usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/`uname -r`/vmlinux.debug
/var/cache/abrt-di/usr/debug/lib/modules/`uname -r`/
/var/cache/abrt-di/usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/`uname -r`/vmlinux.debug
Corresponding source files are usually located under /usr/src/debug/. Further file information on
user-space applications can be determined per-basis using rpm -ql <package>-debuginfo. For
supported user-space applications information please visit the systemtap wiki.
$HOME/.systemtap
Systemtap data directory for cached systemtap files, unless overridden by the SYSTEMTAP_DIR
environment variable.
/tmp/stapXXXXXX
Temporary directory for systemtap files, including translated C code and kernel object.
/lib/modules/VERSION/build
The location of kernel module building infrastructure.
/usr/share/doc/systemtap*/examples
Examples with greater detail can be found here. Each example comes with a .txt or .meta file
explaining what the example, sample or demo does and how it is ordinarily run. See also
http://sourceware.org/systemtap/examples/
$SYSTEMTAP_DIR/ssl/server
User's server-side SSL certificate database. If SYSTEMTAP_DIR is not set, the default is
$HOME/.systemtap.
$SYSTEMTAP_DIR/ssl/client
User's private client-side SSL certificate database. If SYSTEMTAP_DIR is not set, the default is
$HOME/.systemtap.
/etc/systemtap/ssl/client
Global client-side SSL certificate database.
/etc/systemtap/staprun/
staprun's trusted signer certificate database.
/etc/sysconfig/stap-server/
stap-server service global configuration file.
/etc/stap-server/conf.d/*.conf
stap-server service configuration files for default servers.
/var/run/stap-server/
stap-server service default location of status files for running servers.
/var/log/stap-server/log
stap-server service default log file.
