Hi, I've been trying to set up Exin and Dovecot and think I've almost gotten there. However I'm not recieving mail to my inbox and I get messages like the following in /var/log/exim/main.log: 2005-09-28 04:14:47 1EKZtf-0003gQ-26 <= users-return-105525-paul= paulororke.net at openoffice.org H=s002.sfo.collab.net<http://s002.sfo.collab.net>( openoffice.org

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

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 additional

The open solaris dtrace page (http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/dtrace/) has a bad link to the DTrace Guide(http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/817-6223). This message posted from opensolaris.org

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 DTrace is running or DTrace probe is enabled? Regards, Danhua

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*:entry { printf("%s %s",execname,copyinstr(arg0));}'' dtrace -n

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 be a DTrace user group (though that

Hi All, Can I get Dtrace command, which is useful for regular system administration like performance issue. Advance Thanks Muthu -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

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

Greetings, is there a way to specify probes and other dtrace operations via command line parameters, like " BEGIN { usr_exec=$$1; usr_syscall=$$2; } syscall::usr_syscall:entry /execname == usr_exec && guard++ == 0/ { ... " [this does not work] This would make it possible to create "generic" dtrace scripts. Otherwise, some shellscript with sed-magic would

G''Day Folks, I''ve found another use of dtrace, this makes your console keyboard sound like a typewriter. http://www.brendangregg.com/DTrace/typewriter-0.70.tar.gz I''ve only tested it on an UltraSPARC 5 and a Pentium laptop so far, more to follow. Ok, sorry, not actually a practical use of DTrace. :) Enjoy! Brendan [Sydney, Australia]

Dtrace does work on some workstation, such as as follows, ----------------------------------------------------------- bash-3.00# dtrace -s ./mem.d `pgrep test` dtrace: script ''./mem.d'' matched 5 probes ^C bash-3.00# uname -a SunOS ftp 5.10 Generic_118833-17 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-100 bash-3.00# dtrace -V dtrace: Sun D 1.1

I recently did a backport of a couple of networking bug fixes from s10x_u4_b6 to s10x_u3_b10. I patched just /platform/i86pc/kernel/unix and /platform/i86pc/kernel/amd64/unix in my existing u3 OS image and I''m seeing this dtrace problem when running any dtrace script: NODE hcb101 ~ $ ./tcpstat.sh dtrace: failed to compile script /dev/fd/10: "/usr/lib/dtrace/procfs.d", line

Hi, I am using anon dtrace followed with normal dtrace to collect the data of all fork,exec,exit . I found that dtrace could not be able to collect all the data. Lot of pids are missing. This happence when we boot the system and expect dtrace to collect all the fork , exec & exit it collects data but not all the pids are collected. Any inputs in this regard will be of great help. thanks

Hi all, I''m trying to run dtrace -c on a program that takes command-line arguments... is there any way to tell dtrace where its args let off and the target''s begin, or will I have to write a shell script that checks for ''--'' or some such?

Hi, I have used dtrace in the past for diagnosing IO/filesystem related issues. So I am a bit familiar with dtrace scripts Now I want to diagnose performance problems in the java area. May be memory leak etc. The hotspot provider is not present. How can I get them? Does someone have any further advice? regards Hans -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

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

We are using following dtrace script to analyze an application. However we see different number of lwp_yield and yield calls reported depending on whether we trace mutex_lock or mutex_unlock or not. The number reported when we are not tracing mutex_lock or mutex_unlock is higher. What could be going on here and which one is the correct number. This is on S10 U2. Thanks, Rao.
