SystemTap Perspectives

SystemTap has three perspectives, each with its own purpose.

  1. Ide.png IDE Perspective - This is the primary perspective for SystemTap script writers. It contains the Function Browser , Kernel Browser , Probe Alias Browser , and Views and Editors . The IDE Perspective contains the features necessary execute SystemTap scripts and the syntax highlighting and code completion features that facilitate efficient development of scripts.
  2. Graphing.png Graphing Perspective - This perspective is invoked when the user calls the Run /w Chart option. It defaults to showing a data table containing the script results and is capable of producing six different chart types: Line Graph, Multi-Line Graph, Bar Graph, Multi-Bar Graph, Scatter Graph, and Multi-Scatter Graph.
  3. Dash.pngDashboard Perspective - This perspective is capable of storing meta-data related to each graph such as filters, aggregates, and display options in addition to showing a "dashboard" interface with multiple graphs updating simultaneously.
