Hi, I am adding DTrace probes within NFS v3 client. In my current implementation, I use some tsd_*() functions and kmem_zalloc() function. These functions might be heavy and affect the performance. I want to call this function only when DTrace is running or the DTrace probes are enable. So is there a way to check...

I have a number of systems running solaris10 and i see the package and binary for dtrace installed however whenever we try to run anything we get this error dtrace: failed to initialize dtrace: DTrace device not available on system the only system in which i dont have this error is the development server that has the full solaris 10 install while others are minimized, do i need addit...

All, With Jon Haslam''s exciting news about the DTrace doc wiki (if you haven''t seen it yet, make your way to http://wikis.sun.com/display/DTrace), and with some of the discussion with the Apple folks, I''m wondering if the time isn''t right for something of a DTrace summit, perhaps as an unconference. The idea here would not b...

Hi Expert I want to use dtrace to monitor the content change of one file. I made following scripts, #!/usr/sbin/dtrace -s inline int MYPID = $1; syscall::write:entry /pid == MYPID/ { tracemem(arg1, arg2); printf("\n"); } It always has an following error bash-3.00$ sudo dumpFIFO.dtrace 3836 dtrace: failed...

I have found that pid provider can not create memcpy:return probe for 64bit process on snv_110. For example, the pid is 10603, I will have following output for dtrace command: #dtrace -n pid10603:libc.so.1:memcpy:return dtrace: invalid probe specifier pid10603:libc.so.1:memcpy:return: probe description pid10603:libc.so.1:memcpy:return does not match any probes This just happens for 64bit process, 32bit process has no such a issue.

Hi, all, I''m a newbie on dtrace and the problem I am having is: For processes which have been running for more than a couple of hours, dtrace doesn''t seem to be able to trace(I waited for at least one hour and didn''t see anything happening). However, it works every time for a relatively new process. Any i...

Hi All, One of the customer is seeing the following error messages. He is using a S10U1 system with all latest patches. Dtrace script is attached. I am not seeing these error messages on S10U2 system. What could be the problem?

X.Org has adopted GNU autoconf as its build configuration mechanism, so when I integrated the dtrace probes, I checked to see if they should be built using this test, checking for the existence of a program named "dtrace" in the path: dnl Check for dtrace program (needed to build Xserver dtrace probes) AC_ARG_WITH(dtrace, AS_HELP_STRING([--with-dtrace=PATH], [Enable dtrace...

DTrace folks, I''m pleased to introduce a potential new DTrace-sponsored project: the Erlang DTrace provider. To be good OpenSolaris citizens, we want to put the formation of this officially sponsored project to a vote -- as outlined in the OpenSolaris Constitution -- so here are the details fo...

Hi All, Is there a simple way to list all currently open file descriptors ? TIA.. Regards, Venkat -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hi, I am tracking down a problem and would like to know how I can follow a forked process with my dtrace script, or how I can trace a dynamic library. Here is the problem. I am tracing dtlogin, and specifically I am trying to determine what error libpkcs11`<routine> is returning. It turns out dtlogin forks a lot of processes, and I believe the second forked process is the one that winds up ha...

Hi, I would like to know why dtrace -l |grep plockstat show plockstat28099 lines. Process with pid 28099 is a java process. Why can I not examine other processes with the plockstat provider? Is it a java startup option? Regards Hans -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.open...

Dear dtrace Experts, I have seen some dtrace utilities like opensnoop and execsnoop etc. My interest is to write a simple script that can snoop the files which uses the 3 syscalls like open,create,unlink. I have gone through dtrace oneliners that can do the same : dtrace -n ''syscall::open*:...

Hi, we are developing and operating an very critical application in the financial sector. Now our customer wants us to report performance data (roundtrip times of the messages routed). My idea is using dtrace to measure the times with the pid provider catching the timestamps on entry of the in and out functions of the processes. Now my questions ;-): 1) Is this an appropriate method to monitor [b]production [/b]system ? 2) Are there impacts on the [b]stability [/b]of the system ? 3) I can imagine that...
