similar to: truncating aggregation output only

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

Hi Bryan, > Does that sit well with everyone? Seems fine to me. Just revisiting one of Dragan''s points, though (sorry if I missed the answer) - is there a reason for making this global (via a #pragma) rather than, say, simply providing two functions which print in the different orders? e.g. printa() for sort by sample, printak() for sort by key. My reason for wanting to do both in

Hi, there was discussion on "truncating aggregation output only" (http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=19008) on DTrace forum. From what was discussed the aggregation options like aggsortrev, aggsortkey, aggsortpos, aggsortkeypos are already available (Thanks Bryan!). I am wondering what are current plans for ''aggtop'' option (or

I have a probe: pid111::myfunc:entry { self->arg = arg0; } pid111::myfunc:return /self->arg/ { @[self->arg] = quantize(); } works great, but i''d like arg0 to be printed in hex. I''ve tried numerous approaches to do this but i''ve hit a wall every time. I''ve tried: 1) self->arg = sprintf(arg0); no, cuz dtrace has no sprintf 2) self->arg

Just showing someone how great DTrace is and then we spot something I do not understand. Of course it can be a major misunderstanding of myself. Would appreciate another (expert) look upon this. The goal we try to achieve is trying to get insight if there is a bursty nature in the time slot when system calls are done. Following DTrace snippet is tried: dtrace -q -p 3173 -n

N_conreq:entry { self->x=1; calledaddr=(struct xaddrf *)arg3; callingaddr=(struct xaddrf *)arg4; trace(calledaddr->link_id); tracemem(calledaddr->DTE_MAC.lsap_add, 80); trace(callingaddr->link_id); tracemem(callingaddr->DTE_MAC.lsap_add, 80); } 0 -> N_conreq 255

I''m trying to profile the time spent in libc functions in a large build job (building Perl), and I have trouble getting ufunc and func working. (func() is not strictly needed; I was just hoping to use it in order to profile idle time.) Here''s the story. I''ve written a dtrace script to start a separate dtrace process for each invoked command: int fileid;

i''m running the following script: #pragma D option quiet profile:::tick-1sec / ++x >= 15 / { exit(0); } io:::start { @io_size[execname] = sum(args[0]->b_bcount); } on exit, the script prints out the value of @io_size, why? there''s no printa(), and i also specified "D option quiet" (i also tried -q). this seems to happen with any kind of probe: on exit(0) all

Hi All, I used the following script from the dtrace manual to measure how long a particular process runs on the cpu. Modified it to look at the exact timestamps: [i] sched:::on-cpu { self->ts = timestamp; printf("on=%d\n", self->ts) } sched:::off-cpu /self->ts/ { printf("off=%d\n", timestamp) self->ts = 0; } [/i] The output looks like this: [i]on=24591 off=24603

Boy am I a dummy. I want to simply dump out unfreed allocations when I terminate the script. What''s the secret sauce? #!/usr/sbin/dtrace -s pid$1::MyAlloc:return { bufs[arg1] = walltimestamp; } pid$1::MyFree:entry /bufs[arg0]/ { bufs[arg0] = 0; } This message posted from opensolaris.org

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, There''s a dead thread about this back at http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5075157, but it would be really nice to have support for if/else control flow in actions. Reasons: 1. The ternary operator ?: is already there (though it doesn''t let you do anything with side effects) 2. The user can already write arbitrary and expensive non-cacheable predicates if

Hi, Has something related to speculative tracing changed between s10 FCS and the more recent nevada builds ? I was trying the specopen.d script from the Dtrace guide on a nevada machine and it failed with : dtrace: failed to enable ''./spec.d'': DIF program content is invalid To try and narrow things down a bit I wrote the following short script. This works fine on s10, but

G''Day Folks, I''ve finally typed up my classic DTrace demo, which I use to introduce people to DTrace (I delivered this at SOSUG#1), http://www.brendangregg.com/DTrace/dtracevstruss.html Here I create a fault and show the difficulty in analysing it using previous tools. Then I compare the impact of analysing the problem using both DTrace and truss. DTrace wins (a lot!).

Hi, This is not a DTrace technical question (so, please don''t flame me for it) :) This is regarding the DTrace (un)conference TShirt. I am curious to know what engine is it. Could not figure it out.

I''d like to see if we can use DTrace to as the kernel implementation of the BSD systrace security policy system (http://www.systrace.org). I don''t really want to port systrace to Solaris because I think with DTrace we already have all the necessary in kernel hooks to do this. With systrace you express things like: "httpd can bind to port 80 but not any other port, it

Referring to the DTrace manual: "Module If this probe corresponds to a specific program location, the name of the module in which the probe is located. This name is either the name of a kernel module or the name of a user library. Function If this probe corresponds to a specific program location, the name of the program function in which the probe is located." and then ...

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

Hi Ian-s, Two small patches for OSSTest. The first one turns on compiling the Linux modules for MegaRAID SAS, needed for the ultralisk machine in the Cambridge lab. The second adds an entry in the README file about the RebootTimeExtra host property, which I also needed to use for ulttralisk, as scrubbing 368GB of RAM really takes a lot! git://xenbits.xen.org/people/dariof/osstest.git misc Let

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
