G''Day Folks, DTraceToolkit is now at version 0.82, with 82 scripts. There is more than just new scripts in this rev, I''ve also been updating many of the existing scripts... http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/dtrace/dtracetoolkit cheers, Brendan [Sydney, Australia]

...r problem during testing. I can "ping" an IPv6 address, but when I try and log on to the IPv6 address I get an RPC failure. Not knowing much about dtrace, I thought I would give some of the networking dtrace scripts a try that I found here: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/dtrace/dtracetoolkit/ (tcptop or any other script in the Net directory don''t work. For those of you internal to Sun, tcptop is temporarily here: /net/liondra.sfbay/export/share1/DTraceToolkit-0.92/Net These scripts work great on an s10 RR box. But, unfortunately on an snv_31 box, the SS_TCP_FAST_ACCEPT vari...

...e of load common DTrace scripts would cause on a system if run 24x7? I know "common DTrace scripts" and their underlining probe calls a vague statement. So for the lack of a common and establish set of scripts in the OS, I''ll use the most popular right for my question...the DTraceToolkit from Brendan Gregg. Which by the way are works of art. Great job Mr. Gregg! Has anyone out there noticed any consistent load numbers? Looking at the extreme, what should one expect if all the scripts in the DTraceToolkit were always running in the background. Thanks, Mike

DTraceToolkit has a dtrace script (Proc/pidpersec.d) that refers to a variable mpid as below profile:::tick-1sec { printf("%-22Y %8d %6d\n", walltimestamp, `mpid, pids); pids = 0; } Where is `mpid getting picked from (it isn''t declared anywhere else)? What does the character ` in `...

I see Intel has released a new tool. Oh, it requires some patches to the kernel to record latency times. Good thing people don''t mind patching their kernels, eh? So who can write the equivalent latencytop.d the fastest? ;-) http://www.latencytop.org/ -- cburgess at qnx.com

Incase of multi-core systems where multiple threads maybe scheduled for execution, does the below dscript (from hotuser in DTraceToolkit) collect information for multiple libraries/functions that would be getting executed at a given point of time. I have been able to test it to check if it does or doesn''t. I assume it does. This was a query I have about profiling in general. #pragma D option quiet profile:::profile-1001...

We''re running a Solaris 10 container, with an Oracle 9.2.0.4 database - every 5-10 min, an Oracle process shoots up (using 20% + CPU) and then goes down in CPU %, doing a [i]pollsys [/i](see it via dtruss). I tried using some of the trace scripts in the Dtracetoolkit to see what the process is doing, but without any luck - also tried with the following, but dtrace process goes up to 30% CPU, then I kill it: #!/usr/sbin/dtrace -s #pragma D option flowindent pid14344::select:entry { self->follow = 1; } pid14344:::entry, pid14344:::return /self->...

Is there any work on keeping DTraceTools up to date with the latest snv builds. These scripts are pretty useful and help get a novice dtrace user like me doing useful work quickly. Specifically the tcp stack tools like tcptop and tcpsnoop don''t work with later OpenSolaris builds. Thanks, Gary -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

A small script to see what SCSI commands are being issued by a system: http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/chrisg?entry=scsi_d_script Still work in progress as I needs to handle larger CDBs but it is a start, since I don''t have a disk that big it is not a problem for me yet. Also getting the return scsi packet is a hack but so far I can see no alternative short of knowing about all the

Hello all, i''m trying to run the tool tcptop from the dtracetoolkit but it fails. I got the following error: tcptop -C 30 dtrace: failed to compile script /dev/fd/11: "usr/include/sys/kstat.h", line 439: invalid type combination I let it run on different machines on a Ultra 45 and a E20K both with Solaris 10 same result. any ideas? best regards Jens...

Dtrace and Performance Teams, I have the following IO Performance Specific Questions (and I''m already savy with the lockstat and pre-dtrace utilities for performance analysis.. but in need of details regarding specifying IO bottlenecks @ the controller or IO bus..) : **Q.A*> Determining IO Saturation bottlenecks ( */.. beyond service times and kernel contention.. )/ I''m

Hey all - Time for my silly question of the day, and before I bust out vi and dtrace... If there a simple, existing way I can observe the read / write / IOPS on a per-zvol basis? If not, is there interest in having one? Cheers! Nathan.

I am looking for Dtrace scripts that can be used to collect data during performance tests. I am especially interested in IO but CPU, memory, threads, etc are needed as well. Thanks, Dave

I have been using iosoop script (see http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/dtrace/scripts/) written by Brendan Gregg to look at the IO operations of my application. When I was running my test-program on a UFS filesystem I could see both read and write operations like: UID PID D BLOCK SIZE COMM PATHNAME 203803 4436 R 6016592 16384 diskio <none> 203803 4436 W 3448432

Hi I have a process which reads a socket using recvfrom. After sometime, for no apparent reason, recvfrom exits with an EINTR causing the sender to barf too. Basically the socket on which these processes were communicating no longer exists. On writing a dtrace, I could determine that a signal was received at that socket causing the EINTR. I do not know of way to see who sent the signal (which

Tried to start up tcptop_snv on snv87 x86 and got <i>dtrace: failed to compile script /dev/fd/11: line 168: conn_tcp is not a member of struct conn_s</i> Line 288 has this line: <i>this->tcpp = (tcp_t *)this->connp->conn_tcp;</i> which, after looking at line 168 of <a

Unless I am missing something I cannot find a way to do a condtional check and handle it when a dtrace script is written with macros $1, $2 being passed to it, etc... In other words I have a dtrace script that can have parameters passed to it. Lets say $1 and $2 for example. I am trying to verity that there is or is not a value for $1 or $2 and adjust accordingly. I am finding that if use macros

Howdy, Is there a method to get the number of elements in an aggregation? Are the results stored in an aggregation guaranteed to be in any type of order? Thanks for any insight, - Ryan -- UNIX Administrator http://daemons.net/~matty
