LTTNG-DISABLE-EVEN(1)

NAME
lttng-disable-event - Disable LTTng event rules

SYNOPSIS

lttng [GENERAL OPTIONS] disable-event
      (--kernel [--probe | --function | --syscall] |
       --userspace | --jul | --log4j | --python)
      [--session=SESSION] [--channel=CHANNEL]
      (--all-events | EVENT[,EVENT]...)

DESCRIPTION

The lttng disable-event command disables one or more event rules previously enabled by the lttng-enable-event(1) command.

Event rules are always assigned to a channel when they are created. If the --channel option is omitted, the default channel named channel0 is used.

If the --session option is omitted, the chosen channel is picked from the current tracing session.

If the --all-events option is used, all the existing event rules of the chosen domain are disabled. Otherwise, at least one event rule to disable named EVENT must be specified.

With the --kernel option, the event source type can be specified using one of the --tracepoint, --probe, --function, or --syscall options. See lttng-enable-event(1) for more details about event source types.

Events can be disabled while tracing is active (use lttng-start(1) to make a tracing session active).

OPTIONS

General options are described in lttng(1).

  Domain

One of:

-j, --jul
    Disable event rules in the java.util.logging (JUL) domain.

-k, --kernel
    Disable event rules in the Linux kernel domain.

-l, --log4j
    Disable event rules in the Apache log4j domain.

-p, --python
    Disable event rules in the Python domain.

-u, --userspace
    Disable event rules in the user space domain.

  Target

-c CHANNEL, --channel=CHANNEL
    Disable event rules in the channel named CHANNEL instead of the default channel name channel0.

-s SESSION, --session=SESSION
    Disable event rules in the tracing session named SESSION instead of the current tracing session.

  Event source type

One of:

--function
    Linux kernel kretprobe. Only available with the --kernel domain option.

--probe
    Linux kernel kprobe. Only available with the --kernel domain option.

--syscall
    Linux kernel system call. Only available with the --kernel domain option.

--tracepoint
    Linux kernel or application tracepoint. Only available with the --kernel domain option (default Linux kernel domain event source type).

  Disabling

-a, --all-events
    Disable all enabled event rules in the chosen tracing session, tracing domain, and channel.

  Program information

-h, --help
    Show command help.

    This option, like lttng-help(1), attempts to launch /usr/bin/man to view the command’s man page. The path to the man pager can be overridden by the LTTNG_MAN_BIN_PATH environment variable.

--list-options
    List available command options.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

LTTNG_ABORT_ON_ERROR
    Set to 1 to abort the process after the first error is encountered.

LTTNG_HOME
    Overrides the $HOME environment variable. Useful when the user running the commands has a non-writable home directory.

LTTNG_MAN_BIN_PATH
    Absolute path to the man pager to use for viewing help information about LTTng commands (using lttng-help(1) or lttng COMMAND --help).

LTTNG_SESSION_CONFIG_XSD_PATH
    Path in which the session.xsd session configuration XML schema may be found.

LTTNG_SESSIOND_PATH
    Full session daemon binary path.

    The --sessiond-path option has precedence over this environment variable.

Note that the lttng-create(1) command can spawn an LTTng session daemon automatically if none is running. See lttng-sessiond(8) for the environment variables influencing the execution of the session daemon.

FILES

$LTTNG_HOME/.lttngrc
    User LTTng runtime configuration.

    This is where the per-user current tracing session is stored between executions of lttng(1). The current tracing session can be set with lttng-set-session(1). See lttng-create(1) for more information about tracing sessions.

$LTTNG_HOME/lttng-traces
    Default output directory of LTTng traces. This can be overridden with the --output option of the lttng-create(1) command.

$LTTNG_HOME/.lttng
    User LTTng runtime and configuration directory.

$LTTNG_HOME/.lttng/sessions
    Default location of saved user tracing sessions (see lttng-save(1) and lttng-load(1)).

/usr/local/etc/lttng/sessions
    System-wide location of saved tracing sessions (see lttng-save(1) and lttng-load(1)).

    Note

    $LTTNG_HOME defaults to $HOME when not explicitly set.

EXIT STATUS

0
    Success

1
    Command error

2
    Undefined command

3
    Fatal error

4
    Command warning (something went wrong during the command)
