Hola, I am trying to isolate the memory leak I suspect in a mailman installation ? I found: http://blogs.sun.com/sanjeevb/date/200506 It gives an error: god at irt-smtp-02:~ 9:21am 65 # ./memleak.d 10312 dtrace: failed to compile script ./memleak.d: line 3: probe description pid10312:libc.so.1:malloc:entry does not match any probes I am on SunOS 5.10 Generic_127112-07 i86pc i386 i86pc Are

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

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

Howdy, I am attempting to isolate the location of a memory leak in a 4GL program, and have hit a bit of a snag. When I LD_PRELOAD libumem and run the application server, "::findleaks -fdv" reports numerous leaks: CACHE LEAKED BUFCTL CALLER 0000000100b49068 15 0000000100ef2d50 fdcon+0x6c4 0000000100b50028 1 0000000100b72ac0 fdcon+0x6c4 0000000100b49068

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

Hello dtrace-discuss, Sometimes I want to run a script for some time and every n second output N top entries. trunc() isn''t suitable here as it also removed keys/values. I want it ''coz over time if I use sum() entries which are normally truncated can actually get to top over a time. Maybe printa() extension, something like: printa(@b[10]) - to output top 10? --

Hi, This is regarding Dtrace usability for memory leak detection. We have real-time application written C++ which runs on Solaris 10 having a problem that''s the my application grows in size from 130 Mb to 450Mb in around 15 days. So there is two possibilities with the application growth of memory due to Size growth of Dictionary Objects (Like Maps) and Memory Leak.

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, Searched for similar errors and nothing came up. Anybody know what this is? When using aggregate stddev, and then trying to print it at END, using printa, I get this error: dtrace: processing aborted: Invalid return value from callback avg works fine. Tried on two recent builds of solaris (build 89 and build 94), on two difference sparc systems. Here''s a sample script:

I''m trying to time a function within Firefoxwith a pid$target probe [2]. e.g dtrace -Zqw -x dynvarsize=64m -x evaltime=preinit -p 13954 -s menu- construct.d -s sigcont.d elapsed: 12.7942481ms cpu : 7.7911194ms count : 40 times I''m also measuring Firefox startup time by running it arguments like this: ... file:///Users/joelr/work/mozilla/startup/startup.html#`python

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

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

When somebody is hammering on the system, I want to be able to detect who''s doing it, and hopefully even what they''re doing. I can''t seem to find any way to do that. Any suggestions? Everything I can find ... iostat, nfsstat, etc ... AFAIK, just show me performance statistics and so forth. I''m looking for something more granular. Either *who* the

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, 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.

Hello, we are using hardware array and its vendor recommends the following setting in /etc/system: set sd:sd_max_throttle = <value> or set ssd:ssd_max_throttle = <value> Is it possible to monitor *somehow* whether the variable becomes sort of bottleneck ? Or how its value influences io traffic ? Regards przemol

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

Hello, I''m building some simple monitoring tools to watch zfs storage servers. Is this possible to run dtrace script for example 10 seconds? (Of course it is, I just trying to figure out how). Right know it has to be stopped by "CTRL-C" I''m particulary interested in scripts like iscsiio.d, iscsiwho.d from
