The **LTTng analyses** are a set of various executable analyses to
extract and visualize monitoring data and metrics from
`LTTng <http://lttng.org/>`_ kernel traces on the command line.

As opposed to other "live" diagnostic or monitoring solutions, this
approach is based on the following workflow:

#. Record your system's activity with LTTng, a low-overhead tracer.
#. Do whatever it takes for your problem to occur.
#. Diagnose your problem's cause **offline** (when tracing is stopped).

This solution allows you to target problems that are hard to find and
to "dig" until the root cause is found.

**Current limitations**:

- The LTTng analyses can be quite slow to execute. There are a number of
  places where they could be optimized, but using the Python interpreter
  seems to be an important impediment.

  This project is regarded by its authors as a testing ground to
  experiment analysis features, user interfaces, and usability in
  general. It is not considered ready to analyze long traces.

Record a trace
==============

This section is a quick reminder of how to record an LTTng kernel
trace. See LTTng's `quick start guide
<http://lttng.org/docs/v2.7/#doc-getting-started>`_ to familiarize
with LTTng.


Automatic
---------

LTTng analyses ships with a handy (installed) script,
``lttng-analyses-record``, which automates
the steps to record a kernel trace with the events required by the
analyses.

To use ``lttng-analyses-record``:

#. Launch the installed script:

   .. code-block:: bash

      lttng-analyses-record
#. Do whatever it takes for your problem to occur.
#. When you are done recording, press Ctrl+C where the script is
   running.


Manual
------

To record an LTTng kernel trace suitable for the LTTng analyses:

#. Create a tracing session:

   .. code-block:: bash

      sudo lttng create
#. Create a channel with a large sub-buffer size:

   .. code-block:: bash

      sudo lttng enable-channel --kernel chan --subbuf-size=8M
#. Create event rules to capture the needed events:

   .. code-block:: bash

      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan block_bio_backmerge
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan block_bio_remap
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan block_rq_complete
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan block_rq_issue
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan irq_handler_entry
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan irq_handler_exit
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan irq_softirq_entry
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan irq_softirq_exit
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan irq_softirq_raise
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan kmem_mm_page_alloc
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan kmem_mm_page_free
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan lttng_statedump_block_device
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan lttng_statedump_file_descriptor
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan lttng_statedump_process_state
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan mm_page_alloc
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan mm_page_free
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan net_dev_xmit
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan netif_receive_skb
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan sched_pi_setprio
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan sched_process_exec
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan sched_process_fork
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan sched_switch
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan sched_wakeup
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan sched_waking
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan softirq_entry
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan softirq_exit
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan softirq_raise
      sudo lttng enable-event --kernel --channel=chan --syscall --all
#. Start recording:

   .. code-block:: bash

      sudo lttng start
#. Do whatever it takes for your problem to occur.
#. Stop recording and destroy the tracing session to free its
   resources:

   .. code-block:: bash

      sudo lttng stop
      sudo lttng destroy


See the `LTTng Documentation <http://lttng.org/docs/>`_ for other
use cases, like sending the trace data over the network instead of
recording trace files on the target's file system.


Run an LTTng analysis
=====================

The **LTTng analyses** are a set of various command-line
analyses. Each analysis accepts the path to a recorded trace
(see `Record a trace`_) as its argument, as well as various command-line
options to control the analysis and its output.

Many command-line options are common to all the analyses, so that you
can filter by timerange, process name, process ID, minimum and maximum
values, and the rest. Also note that the reported timestamps can
optionally be expressed in the GMT time zone.

Each analysis is installed as an executable starting with the
``lttng-`` prefix.

Period options
--------------

LTTng analyses feature a powerful "period engine". A *period* is an
interval which begins and ends under specific conditions. When the
analysis results are displayed, they are isolated for the periods
that were opened and closed during the process.

A period can have a parent. If it's the case, then its parent needs
to exist for the period to begin at all. This tree structure of
periods is useful to keep a form of custom user state during the
generic kernel analysis.

.. ATTENTION::

   The ``--period`` and ``--period-captures`` options's arguments
   include characters that are considered special by most shells,
   like ``$``, ``*``, and ``&``.

   Make sure to always **single-quote** those arguments when running
   the LTTng analyses on the command line.


Period definition
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can define one or more periods on the command line, when launching
an analysis, with the ``--period`` option. This option's argument
accepts the following form (content within square brackets is optional)::

    [ NAME [ (PARENT) ] ] : BEGINEXPR [ : ENDEXPR ]

``NAME``
  Optional name of the period definition. All periods opened from this
  definition have this name.

  The syntax of this name is the same as a C identifier.

``PARENT``
  Optional name of a *previously defined* period which acts as the
  parent period definition of this definition.

  ``NAME`` must be set for ``PARENT`` to be set.

``BEGINEXPR``
  Matching expression which a given event must match in order for an
  actual period to be instantiated by this definition.

``ENDEXPR``
  Matching expression which a given event must match in order for an
  instance of this definition to be closed.

  If this part is omitted, ``BEGINEXPR`` is used for the ending
  expression too.


Matching expression
...................

A matching expression is a C-like logical expression. It supports
nesting expressions with ``(`` and ``)``, as well as the ``&&`` (logical
*AND*), ``||`` (logical *OR*), and ``!`` (logical *NOT*) operators. The
precedence of those operators is the same as in the C language.

The atomic operands in those logical expressions are comparisons. For
the following comparison syntaxes, consider that:

- ``EVT`` indicates an event source. The available event sources are:

  ``$evt``
    Current event.

  ``$begin.$evt``
    In ``BEGINEXPR``: current event (same as ``$evt``).

    In ``ENDEXPR``: event which, for this period instance, was matched
    when ``BEGINEXPR`` was evaluated.

  ``$parent.$begin.$evt``
    Event which, for the parent period instance of this period instance,
    was matched when ``BEGINEXPR`` of the parent was evaluated.
- ``FIELD`` indicates an event field source. The available event field
  sources are:

  ``NAME`` (direct field name)
    Automatic scope: try to find the field named ``NAME`` in the dynamic
    scopes in this order:

    #. Event payload
    #. Event context
    #. Event header
    #. Stream event context
    #. Packet context
    #. Packet header

  ``$payload.NAME``
    Event payload field named ``NAME``.

  ``$ctx.NAME``
    Event context field named ``NAME``.

  ``$header.NAME``
    Event header field named ``NAME``.

  ``$stream_ctx.NAME``
    Stream event context field named ``NAME``.

  ``$pkt_ctx.NAME``
    Packet context field named ``NAME``.

  ``$pkt_header.NAME``
    Packet header field named ``NAME``.
- ``VALUE`` indicates one of:

  - A constant, decimal number. This can be an integer or a real
    number, positive or negative, and supports the ``e`` scientific
    notation.

    Examples: ``23``, ``-18.28``, ``7.2e9``.
  - A double-quoted literal string. ``"`` and ``\`` can be escaped
    with ``\``.

    Examples: ``"hello, world!"``, ``"here's another \"quoted\" string"``.
  - An event field, that is, ``EVT.FIELD``, considering the replacements
    described above.

- ``NUMVALUE`` indicates one of:

  - A constant, decimal number. This can be an integer or a real
    number, positive or negative, and supports the ``e`` scientific
    notation.

    Examples: ``23``, ``-18.28``, ``7.2e9``.
  - An event field, that is, ``EVT.FIELD``, considering the replacements
    described above.

.. list-table:: Available comparison syntaxes for matching expressions
   :header-rows: 1

   * - Comparison syntax
     - Description
   * - #. ``EVT.$name == "NAME"``
       #. ``EVT.$name != "NAME"``
       #. ``EVT.$name =* "PATTERN"``
     - Name matching:

       #. Name of event source ``EVT`` is equal to ``NAME``.
       #. Name of event source ``EVT`` is not equal to ``NAME``.
       #. Name of event source ``EVT`` satisfies the globbing pattern
          ``PATTERN``
          (see `fnmatch <https://docs.python.org/3/library/fnmatch.html>`_).
   * - #. ``EVT.FIELD == VALUE``
       #. ``EVT.FIELD != VALUE``
       #. ``EVT.FIELD < NUMVALUE``
       #. ``EVT.FIELD <= NUMVALUE``
       #. ``EVT.FIELD > NUMVALUE``
       #. ``EVT.FIELD >= NUMVALUE``
       #. ``EVT.FIELD =* "PATTERN"``
     - Value matching:

       #. The value of the field ``EVT.FIELD`` is equal
          to the value ``VALUE``.
       #. The value of the field ``EVT.FIELD`` is not
          equal to the value ``VALUE``.
       #. The value of the field ``EVT.FIELD`` is lesser
          than the value ``NUMVALUE``.
       #. The value of the field ``EVT.FIELD`` is lesser
          than or equal to the value ``NUMVALUE``.
       #. The value of the field ``EVT.FIELD`` is greater
          than the value ``NUMVALUE``.
       #. The value of the field ``EVT.FIELD`` is greater
          than or equal to the value ``NUMVALUE``.
       #. The value of the field ``EVT.FIELD`` satisfies
          the globbing pattern ``PATTERN``
          (see `fnmatch <https://docs.python.org/3/library/fnmatch.html>`_).

In any case, if ``EVT.FIELD`` does not target an existing field, the
comparison including it fails. Also, string fields cannot be compared to
number values (constant or fields).


Examples
........

- Create a period instance named ``switch`` when:

  - The current event name is ``sched_switch``.

  End this period instance when:

  - The current event name is ``sched_switch``.

  Period definition::

      switch : $evt.$name == "sched_switch"

- Create a period instance named ``switch`` when:

  - The current event name is ``sched_switch`` *AND*
  - The current event's ``next_tid`` field is *NOT* equal to 0.

  End this period instance when:

  - The current event name is ``sched_switch`` *AND*
  - The current event's ``prev_tid`` field is equal to
    the ``next_tid`` field of the matched event in the begin expression *AND*
  - The current event's ``cpu_id`` field is equal to
    the ``cpu_id`` field of the matched event in the begin expression.

  Period definition::

      switch
      : $evt.$name == "sched_switch" &&
        $evt.next_tid != 0
      : $evt.$name == "sched_switch" &&
        $evt.prev_tid == $begin.$evt.next_tid &&
        $evt.cpu_id == $begin.$evt.cpu_id

- Create a period instance named ``irq`` when:

  - A parent period instance named ``switch`` is currently opened.
  - The current event name satisfies the ``irq_*_entry`` globbing
    pattern *AND*
  - The current event's ``cpu_id`` field is equal to the ``cpu_id``
    field of the matched event in the begin expression of the parent
    period instance.

  End this period instance when:

  - The current event name is ``irq_handler_exit`` *AND*
  - The current event's ``cpu_id`` field is equal to
    the ``cpu_id`` field of the matched event in the begin expression.

  Period definition::

      irq(switch)
      : $evt.$name =* "irq_*_entry" &&
        $evt.cpu_id == $parent.$begin.$evt.cpu_id
      : $evt.$name == "irq_handler_exit" &&
        $evt.cpu_id == $begin.$evt.cpu_id

- Create a period instance named ``hello`` when:

  - The current event name satisfies the ``hello*`` globbing pattern,
    but excludes ``hello world``.

  End this period instance when:

  - The current event name is the same as the name of the matched event
    in the begin expression *AND*
  - The current event's ``theid`` header field is lesser than or equal
    to 231.

  Period definition::

      hello
      : $evt.$name =* "hello*" &&
        $evt.$name != "hello world"
      : $evt.$name == $begin.$evt.$name &&
        $evt.$header.theid <= 231


Period captures
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When a period instance begins or ends, the analysis can capture the
current values of specific event fields and display them in its
results.

You can set period captures with the ``--period-captures`` command-line
option. This option's argument accepts the following form
(content within square brackets is optional)::

    NAME : BEGINCAPTURES [ : ENDCAPTURES ]

``NAME``
  Name of period instances on which to apply those captures.

  A ``--period`` option in the same command line must define this name.

``BEGINCAPTURES``
  Comma-delimited list of event fields to capture when the beginning
  expression of the period definition named ``NAME`` is matched.

``ENDCAPTURES``
  Comma-delimited list of event fields to capture when the ending
  expression of the period definition named ``NAME`` is matched.

  If this part is omitted, there are no end captures.

The format of ``BEGINCAPTURES`` and ``ENDCAPTURES`` is a comma-delimited
list of tokens having this format::

    [ CAPTURENAME = ] EVT.FIELD

or::

    [ CAPTURENAME = ] EVT.$name

``CAPTURENAME``
  Custom name for this capture. The syntax of this name is the same as
  a C identifier.

  If this part is omitted, the literal expression used for ``EVT.FIELD``
  is used.

``EVT`` and ``FIELD``
  See `Matching expression`_.


Period select and aggregate parameters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With ``lttng-periodlog``, it is possible to see the list of periods in the
context of their parent. By specifying the ``--aggregate-by``, the lines in
the log present on the same line the timerange of the period specified by
the ``--select`` argument at the timerange of the parent period that contains
it. In ``lttng-periodstats`` and ``lttng-periodfreq``, these two flags are
used as filter to limit the output to only the relevant periods. If omitted,
all existing combinations of parent/child statistics and frequency
distributions are output.


Grouping
~~~~~~~~

When fields are captured during the period analyses, it is possible to compute
the statistics and frequency distribution grouped by values of the these
fields, instead of globally for the trace. The format is::

    --group-by "PERIODNAME.CAPTURENAME[, PERIODNAME.CAPTURENAME]"

If multiple values are passed, the analysis outputs one list of tables
(statistics and/or frequency distribution) for each unique combination of the
field's values.

For example, if we track the ``open`` system call and we are interested in the
average duration of this call by filename, we only have to capture the filename
field and group the results by ``open.filename``.


Examples
........

Begin captures only::

    switch
    : $evt.next_tid,
      name = $evt.$name,
      msg_id = $parent.$begin.$evt.id

Begin and end captures::

    hello
    : beginning = $evt.$ctx.begin_ts,
      $evt.received_bytes
    : $evt.send_bytes,
      $evt.$name,
      begin = $begin.$evt.$ctx.begin_ts
      end = $evt.$ctx.end_ts

Top scheduling latency (delay between ``sched_waking(tid=$TID)`` and ``sched_switch(next_tid=$TID)``)
with recording of the procname of the waker (dependant of the ``procname`` context in the trace),
priority and target CPU:

.. code-block:: bash

   lttng-periodtop /path/to/trace \
       --period 'wake : $evt.$name == "sched_waking" : $evt.$name == "sched_switch" && $evt.next_tid == $begin.$evt.$payload.tid' \
       --period-capture 'wake : waker = $evt.procname, prio = $evt.prio : wakee = $evt.next_comm, cpu = $evt.cpu_id'

These statistics can also be scoped by value of the FD returned by the ``open``
system, by appending ``--group-by "open.fd"`` to the previous command line.
That way previous tables will be output for each value of FD returned, so it
is possible to observe the behaviour based on the parameters of a system call.

Using the ``lttng-periodfreq`` or the ``--freq`` parameter, these tables can
also be presented as frequency distributions.


Progress options
----------------

If the `progressbar <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/progressbar/>`_
optional dependency is installed, a progress bar is available to
indicate the progress of the analysis.

By default, the progress bar is based on the current event's timestamp.

Progress options are:

.. list-table:: Available progress command-line options
   :header-rows: 1

   * - Command-line option
     - Description
   * - ``--no-progress``
     - Disable the progress bar.
   * - ``--progress-use-size``
     - Use the approximate event size instead of the current event's
       timestamp to estimate the progress value.


Machine interface
-----------------

If you want to display LTTng analyses results in a custom viewer,
you can use the JSON-based LTTng analyses machine interface (LAMI).
Each command in the previous table has its corresponding LAMI version
with the ``-mi`` suffix. For example, the LAMI version of
``lttng-cputop`` is ``lttng-cputop-mi``.

This version of LTTng analyses conforms to
`LAMI 1.0 <http://lttng.org/files/lami/lami-1.0.1.html>`_.





Examples
========

This section shows a few examples of using some LTTng analyses.
