everyone Here: How do you do! dtrace is interesting. I am studing how to write dtrace script and analyze situation. I read dtrace_example.pdf and 819-6959.pdf document more than five times with careful. because I am newbie to studing dtrace.so I still don''t know how to begin. for question: 1. What consumes time? 2. Which system call(s) consume(s) time?

Hello Srikant - A quantization distributes the results of your aggregation into ranges ordered by a power-of-two. Presumably what you''d do in your script is capture the inclusive elapsed time of each function call in your library, then use this quantization to see how tightly-banded the times are. Perhaps there''s some blocking I/O in some of your calls, for example, in which

The earlier post with the Dtrace probes definition (sent on April 23) was only to solicit feedback from all prospective users of iSCSI DTrace probes. I will follow up shortly with an updated document requesting approval from the community. thanks Priya -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Dtrace provider for the COMSTAR iscsi Target Port Provider - Review Request Date: Thu, 23 Apr

This is from a discussion on opensolaris-tools that is somewhat relevant for DTrace community. I wrote a simple D script (http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/onnv/onnv_build/faster_builds/tools/dtrace/dirtrace.d) that collects data for each dmake process during the Solaris build. After that the data is post-processed by a Perl script

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 kind of new to DTrace , I have written a script to time function calls in our application library , Wanted to know how to interpret the output from quantize of the elapsed time in each function call , here is a sample Here is the entry and return function for the library that is being traced pid$1:libswduar::entry { duarEntry[probefunc] = timestamp;

To remember all dtrace actions, aggregations and variables is a headache, even worse, they are not include in dtrace(1M) now. So here is a chance to have a CLI RFE - to have something like "dtrace --actions", which will list all actions, like this page: http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/dtrace_quickref/dtrace_functions.html "dtrace --aggregations", lists all

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 for the new Project, as prepared by the Project Team: Name : Erlang DTrace Integration

G''Day Folks, I''ve just rewritten iosnoop so that uses command line arguments (I caved in and used a little Bourne shell for this - hence it''s lost it''s ".d" extension). It''s much more useful now. # iosnoop -h USAGE: iosnoop [-a|-A|-Degstv] [-d device] [-f filename] [-m mount_point] iosnoop # default output

G''Day Folks, Well, I had a weekend home in Sydney while inbetween flights and have knocked out a few programs. (I''ve been programming for 23 hours straight, so if there is something really dumb in one my scripts then please excuse me :) # socketsnoop.d UID PID DIR SIZE CMD 0 19886 W 64 ssh mars 0 19886 R 80 ssh mars 0 19915 W 0

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?

For those who may have missed the news, the DTrace movers and shakers have moved over to a new mailing list; you can sign up at http://dtrace.org/blogs/mailing-list/ And there will be a conference dedicated to DTrace on April 3rd in San Francisco, more information here: http://wiki.smartos.org/display/DOC/dtrace.conf -- best regards, Deirdr?

G''Day Folks, Well, this one was my white whale. I now have a demonstration program that uses Perl, Kstat, /proc/*/usage, /proc/*/psinfo, and DTrace. The program itself is more of a prototype, I want to get serious about it and rewrite it in C. It currently has output like, # prustat -t5 -snet 10 PID %CPU %Mem %Disk %Net COMM 90 0.00 0.09 0.00 0.00

It''s quite difficult, though, to predict what DTrace features one will get when installing Solaris 10 (whatever release). There is nothing about the fine details of

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

G''Day Folks, I''ve rewritten execsnoop, opensnoop and shellsnoop so that they are wrapped in the Bourne shell to provide command line options (they have all lost their ".d" extensions, but the old versions are still online). They are rather more meaningful tools now. (Eg, I can run shellsnoop with "-qp PID" with the PID of a shell, and see only the characters
