NAME

7

SYNOPSIS

9       lttng [GENERAL OPTIONS] disable-channel (--kernel | --userspace)
10             [--session=SESSION] CHANNEL[,CHANNEL]...
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The lttng disable-channel command disables one or more channels
14       previously enabled with the lttng-enable-channel(1) command which
15       belong to:
16
17       With the --session=SESSION option
18           The recording session named SESSION.
19
20       Without the --session option
21           The current recording session (see lttng-concepts(7) to learn more
22           about the current recording session).
23
24       See lttng-concepts(7) to learn more about channels.
25
26       The disable-channel command disables one channel per CHANNEL argument.
27
28       As of LTTng 2.13.10, you may NOT enable a disabled channel once its
29       recording session has been started (see lttng-start(1)) at least once.
30
31       See the “EXAMPLES” section below for usage examples.

104

FILES

106       $LTTNG_HOME/.lttngrc
107           Unix user’s LTTng runtime configuration.
108
109           This is where LTTng stores the name of the Unix user’s current
110           recording session between executions of lttng(1).  lttng-create(1)
111           and lttng-set-session(1) set the current recording session.
112
113       $LTTNG_HOME/lttng-traces
114           Default output directory of LTTng traces in local and snapshot
115           modes.
116
117           Override this path with the --output option of the lttng-create(1)
118           command.
119
120       $LTTNG_HOME/.lttng
121           Unix user’s LTTng runtime and configuration directory.
122
123       $LTTNG_HOME/.lttng/sessions
124           Default directory containing the Unix user’s saved recording
125           session configurations (see lttng-save(1) and lttng-load(1)).
126
127       /usr/local/etc/lttng/sessions
128           Directory containing the system-wide saved recording session
129           configurations (see lttng-save(1) and lttng-load(1)).
130
131       Note
132           $LTTNG_HOME defaults to the value of the HOME environment variable.
133

EXAMPLES

135       Example 1. Disable one Linux kernel channel of the current recording
136       session.
137
138               $ lttng disable-channel --kernel my-channel
139
140       Example 2. Disable two user space channels of a specific recording
141       session.
142
143           See the --session option.
144
145               $ lttng disable-channel --kernel --session=my-session \
