Overview

+

SystemTap provides free software (GPL) infrastructure to + simplify the gathering of information about the running Linux + system. This assists diagnosis of a performance or functional + problem. SystemTap eliminates the need for the developer to go + through the tedious and disruptive instrument, recompile, install, + and reboot sequence that may be otherwise required to collect data.

- - - - +

SystemTap provides a simple command line interface and + scripting language for writing instrumentation for a live + running kernel plus user-space applications. We are publishing + samples, as well as enlarging the internal "tapset" script library to aid reuse and abstraction.

+

Among other tracing/probing tools, SystemTap is the tool of choice + for complex tasks that may require live analysis, programmable on-line + response, and whole-system symbolic access. SystemTap can also handle + simple tracing jobs.
