NAME

6       lttng-untrack - Remove one or more entries from an LTTng resource
7       tracker
8

SYNOPSIS

10       lttng [GENERAL OPTIONS] untrack (--kernel | --userspace)
11             [--session=SESSION] (--pid=PID[,PID]... | --all --pid)
12

DESCRIPTION

14       The lttng untrack commands removes one or more entries from a resource
15       tracker.
16
17       See lttng-track(1) to learn more about LTTng trackers.
18
19       The untrack command removes specific resources from a tracker. The
20       resources to remove must have been precedently added by lttng-track(1).
21       It is also possible to remove all the resources from the whitelist
22       using the --all option.
23
24       As of this version, the only available tracker is the PID tracker.
25
26   Example
27       One common operation is to create a tracing session (see lttng-
28       create(1)), remove all the entries from the PID tracker whitelist,
29       start tracing, and then manually track PIDs while tracing is active.
30
31       Assume the maximum system PID is 7 for this example.
32
33       Command:
34
35           $ lttng create
36
37       Initial whitelist:
38
39           [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
40
41       Command:
42
43           $ lttng untrack --userspace --pid --all
44
45       Whitelist:
46
47           [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
48
49       Commands:
50
51           $ lttng enable-event --userspace ...
52           $ lttng start
53           $ # ...
54           $ lttng track --userspace --pid=3,5
55
56       Whitelist:
57
58           [ ] [ ] [ ] [3] [ ] [5] [ ] [ ]
59
60       Command:
61
62           $ lttng track --userspace --pid=2
63
64       Whitelist:
65
66           [ ] [ ] [2] [3] [ ] [5] [ ] [ ]
67

OPTIONS

69       General options are described in lttng(1).
70
71   Domain
72       One of:
73
74       -k, --kernel
75           Untrack resources tracked in the Linux kernel domain.
76
77       -u, --userspace
78           Untrack resources tracked in the user space domain.
79
80   Target
81       -s, --session=SESSION
82           Untrack resources in the tracing session named SESSION instead of
83           the current tracing session.
84
85   Untracking
86       -a, --all
87           Used in conjunction with an empty --pid option: untrack all process
88           IDs (clear the whitelist).
89
90       -p [PID[,PID]...], --pid[=PID[,PID]...]
91           Untrack process IDs PID (remove them from the current whitelist).
92
93           The PID argument must be omitted when also using the --all option.
94
95   Program information
96       -h, --help
97           Show command help.
98
99           This option, like lttng-help(1), attempts to launch /usr/bin/man to
100           view the command’s man page. The path to the man pager can be
101           overridden by the LTTNG_MAN_BIN_PATH environment variable.
102
103       --list-options
104           List available command options.
105

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

107       LTTNG_ABORT_ON_ERROR
108           Set to 1 to abort the process after the first error is encountered.
109
110       LTTNG_HOME
111           Overrides the $HOME environment variable. Useful when the user
112           running the commands has a non-writable home directory.
113
114       LTTNG_MAN_BIN_PATH
115           Absolute path to the man pager to use for viewing help information
116           about LTTng commands (using lttng-help(1) or lttng COMMAND --help).
117
118       LTTNG_SESSION_CONFIG_XSD_PATH
119           Path in which the session.xsd session configuration XML schema may
120           be found.
121
122       LTTNG_SESSIOND_PATH
123           Full session daemon binary path.
124
125           The --sessiond-path option has precedence over this environment
126           variable.
127
128       Note that the lttng-create(1) command can spawn an LTTng session daemon
129       automatically if none is running. See lttng-sessiond(8) for the
130       environment variables influencing the execution of the session daemon.
131

FILES

133       $LTTNG_HOME/.lttngrc
134           User LTTng runtime configuration.
135
136           This is where the per-user current tracing session is stored
137           between executions of lttng(1). The current tracing session can be
138           set with lttng-set-session(1). See lttng-create(1) for more
139           information about tracing sessions.
140
141       $LTTNG_HOME/lttng-traces
142           Default output directory of LTTng traces. This can be overridden
143           with the --output option of the lttng-create(1) command.
144
145       $LTTNG_HOME/.lttng
146           User LTTng runtime and configuration directory.
147
148       $LTTNG_HOME/.lttng/sessions
149           Default location of saved user tracing sessions (see lttng-save(1)
150           and lttng-load(1)).
151
152       /usr/local/etc/lttng/sessions
153           System-wide location of saved tracing sessions (see lttng-save(1)
154           and lttng-load(1)).
155
156           Note
157           $LTTNG_HOME defaults to $HOME when not explicitly set.
