Overview
LTTng is a tracer for Linux that has the capability to generate a high volume of traces (from the kernel or application) with very low overhead. This is achieved by instrumenting the Linux kernel. LTTng is delivered as a set of kernel patches, to collect the traces, as well as a toolchain to control the tracing, as well as view and analyze the generated data.
The scope of this project is to provide an Eclipse integration of LTTng. It will be delivered in two components:
- Tracing and Monitoring Framework (TMF) that facilitates the integration of tracing tools in eclipse
- LTTng reference implementation based on TMF
Tracing and Monitoring Framework
The main features of this integration are:
- Control of LTTng
- Local and remote (TCF based agent)
- Support for user space tracing
- Support for heterogeneous traces
- Generic log text file support
- Support for distributed, multi-processor, multi-core trace synchronization
- Retrieval and efficient handling of large trace files (>10Gb)
- Traces visualization, correlation and analysis
