Linux End User Summit 2012: LTTng 2.0: Kernel and Application Tracing for the Enterprise
Mathieu Desnoyers on 30 April 2012
The newly available LTTng 2.0 kernel and user-space tracer offers a unified user interface tailored to the industry needs. It enables holistic tracing of live production systems across the kernel and user-space execution layers, while adding only a small overhead footprint. It is easy to install, uses most of the instrumentation sources present in mainline and distribution Linux kernels, and provides mechanisms for user-space instrumentation. This presentation covers the various features offered by LTTng 2.0. The target audience includes people responsible for maintenance, deployment or development of mission-critical, performance-sensitive, and/or latency-sensitive production systems running on GNU/Linux.
