Hye all. For example I use the following dtrace script :

http://www.brendangregg.com/DTrace/opensnoop_example.txt


the goal is to create an xml file containing the logs of this script. What is
the procedure to follow ?

For this for example 3 columns are in output...So i have to create a less 3 xml
markers... Anyone could help me or give me a way ?

Thanks in advance.

The script''s complexity is for CLI option processing, the actual DTrace
code that is significant is about a dozen lines. It shouldn''t take long
to pick out the DTrace code you need, and write your own version.

For it to output XML, you can simply print the raw XML as part of the
printf() statements. It''s not as much work as it sounds, and you have
full control of the output.

...

If this was for permanent logging purposes, you may find Sun''s auditing
facility already has this functionality (aka BSM auditing, aka SunSHIELD).
It can be customised to record file open() events with similar fields to
the opensnoop script, and the praudit(1M) tool has a -x option to output
the audit logs in XML. Search for "Solaris Auditing" and
"SunSHIELD"
on docs.sun.com.

no worries,

Hi
I''m not sure to understand.
just use some printf and write your dtrace output in a file.xml... 
(# dtrace -q -s example.d  > ***.xml)
ex:example.d:
dtrace:::BEGIN
{
	printf("<?xml version=\"1.0\"
encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n");
	printf("<?xml-stylesheet type=\"text/xsl\"
href=\"example.xsl\"?>\n");
	printf("<root>\n");
.....
.....
.....
dtrace:::END
{	
	printf("</root>\n");
}
