LTTNG-STATUS(1) LTTng Manual LTTNG-STATUS(1)
lttng-status - Show the status of the current LTTng recording
session
lttng [GENERAL OPTIONS] status [--channel=CHANNEL]
[--kernel] [--userspace] [--jul] [--log4j] [--log4j2] [--python]
[--style=(compact | breathe)] [--no-truncate]
[--mem-usage=(total | compact | full)]
The lttng status command shows the status of the current recording
session (see lttng-concepts(7) to learn more about the current
recording session).
This command is equivalent to:
lttng [GENERAL OPTIONS] list CURSESSION [--channel=CHANNEL]
[--kernel] [--userspace]
[--jul] [--log4j] [--log4j2] [--python]
[--style=(compact | breathe)] [--no-truncate]
[--mem-usage=(total | compact | full)]
where CURSESSION is the name of the current recording session.
This command effectively forwards all its options to the
lttng-list(1) command.
See lttng(1) for GENERAL OPTIONS.
-c CHANNEL, --channel=CHANNEL
Only list the properties and recording event rules of the
channel(s) named CHANNEL.
-j, --jul
Only list the java.util.logging recording event rules.
-k, --kernel
Only list the Linux kernel channels and their recording event
rules.
-l, --log4j
Only list the Apache log4j 1.x recording event rules.
--log4j2
Only list the Apache Log4j 2 recording event rules.
--mem-usage=MODE
Set the channel memory usage display mode to MODE.
MODE is one of:
total (default)
Show the total memory usage of the channel.
compact
Show the memory usage for each Unix user or process,
depending on the buffer ownership model of the channel
(see the --buffer-ownership option of
lttng-enable-channel(1)).
full
Show the memory usage for each each CPU (if available).
--no-truncate
Do NOT truncate long output lines.
By default, the command truncates lines, adding an ellipsis,
to fit the current terminal width.
-p, --python
Only list the Python recording event rules.
--style=STYLE
Set the command output style to STYLE.
STYLE is one of:
breathe (default)
Add empty lines to make blocks of related information
stand out.
compact
Make the the output compact.
-u, --userspace
Only list the user space channels and their recording event
rules.
Program information
-h, --help
Show help.
This option attempts to launch /usr/bin/man to view this
manual page. Override the manual pager path with the
LTTNG_MAN_BIN_PATH environment variable.
--list-options
List available command options and quit.
0
Success
1
Command error
2
Undefined command
3
Fatal error
4
Command warning (something went wrong during the command)
LTTNG_ABORT_ON_ERROR
Set to 1 to abort the process after the first error is
encountered.
LTTNG_HOME
Path to the LTTng home directory.
Defaults to $HOME.
Useful when the Unix user running the commands has a
non-writable home directory.
LTTNG_LIST_LEGACY
Set to 1 to use the legacy output format (LTTng 2.14 and
earlier) for the lttng-list(1) command instead of the modern
output format.
Note that the legacy output doesn’t show anything related to
features introduced after LTTng 2.14.
LTTNG_MAN_BIN_PATH
Absolute path to the manual pager to use to read the LTTng
command-line help (with lttng-help(1) or with the --help
option) instead of /usr/bin/man.
LTTNG_NO_UTF_8
Set to 1 to NOT emit multi-byte UTF-8 sequences, even if the
locale claims to support it.
LTTNG_SESSION_CONFIG_XSD_PATH
Path to the directory containing the session.xsd recording
session configuration XML schema.
LTTNG_SESSIOND_PATH
Absolute path to the LTTng session daemon binary (see
lttng-sessiond(8)) to spawn from the lttng-create(1) command.
The --sessiond-path general option overrides this environment
variable.
LTTNG_TERM_COLOR
Controls when to emit terminal SGR codes in the output.
The NO_COLOR environment variable overrides this.
One of:
auto (default)
Only emit SGR codes when the standard output is connected
to a color-capable terminal.
always
Always emit SGR codes.
never
Never emit SGR codes.
NO_COLOR
If set and not empty, then it’s equivalent to setting
LTTNG_TERM_COLOR to never.
See NO_COLOR <https://no-color.org/> to learn more.
$LTTNG_HOME/.lttngrc
Unix user’s LTTng runtime configuration.
This is where LTTng stores the name of the Unix user’s current
recording session between executions of lttng(1).
lttng-create(1) and lttng-set-session(1) set the current
recording session.
$LTTNG_HOME/lttng-traces
Default output directory of LTTng traces in local and snapshot
modes.
Override this path with the --output option of the
lttng-create(1) command.
$LTTNG_HOME/.lttng
Unix user’s LTTng runtime and configuration directory.
$LTTNG_HOME/.lttng/sessions
Default directory containing the Unix user’s saved recording
session configurations (see lttng-save(1) and lttng-load(1)).
/usr/local/etc/lttng/sessions
Directory containing the system-wide saved recording session
configurations (see lttng-save(1) and lttng-load(1)).
Note
$LTTNG_HOME defaults to the value of the HOME environment
variable.
