lttng-status — Get the current LTTng tracing session's status
lttng [GENERAL OPTIONS] status
The lttng status
command shows the status of the current
tracing session.
This command is the exact equivalent of:
$
lttng list CURSESSION
where CURSESSION
is the name of the current tracing session.
Use lttng-set-session(1) to set the current tracing session.
General options are described in lttng(1).
-h
, --help
Show command help.
This option, like lttng-help(1), attempts to launch
/usr/bin/man
to view the command’s man page. The path to the man pager
can be overridden by the LTTNG_MAN_BIN_PATH
environment variable.
--list-options
List available command options.
LTTNG_ABORT_ON_ERROR
Set to 1 to abort the process after the first error is encountered.
LTTNG_HOME
Overrides the $HOME
environment variable. Useful when the user
running the commands has a non-writable home directory.
LTTNG_MAN_BIN_PATH
Absolute path to the man pager to use for viewing help information
about LTTng commands (using lttng-help(1) or
lttng COMMAND --help
).
LTTNG_SESSION_CONFIG_XSD_PATH
Path in which the session.xsd
session configuration XML
schema may be found.
LTTNG_SESSIOND_PATH
Full session daemon binary path.
The --sessiond-path
option has precedence over this
environment variable.
Note that the lttng-create(1) command can spawn an LTTng session daemon automatically if none is running. See lttng-sessiond(8) for the environment variables influencing the execution of the session daemon.
$LTTNG_HOME/.lttngrc
User LTTng runtime configuration.
This is where the per-user current tracing session is stored between executions of lttng(1). The current tracing session can be set with lttng-set-session(1). See lttng-create(1) for more information about tracing sessions.
$LTTNG_HOME/lttng-traces
Default output directory of LTTng traces. This can be overridden
with the --output
option of the lttng-create(1)
command.
$LTTNG_HOME/.lttng
User LTTng runtime and configuration directory.
$LTTNG_HOME/.lttng/sessions
Default location of saved user tracing sessions (see lttng-save(1) and lttng-load(1)).
/etc/lttng/sessions
System-wide location of saved tracing sessions (see lttng-save(1) and lttng-load(1)).
Note:$LTTNG_HOME
defaults to $HOME
when not explicitly set.
