Disable LTTng channels

Synopsis

lttng [GENERAL OPTIONS] disable-channel (--kernel | --userspace)
      [--session=SESSION] CHANNEL[,CHANNEL]...

Description

The lttng disable-channel command disables one or more channels previously enabled with the lttng-enable-channel(1) command which belong to:

With the --session=SESSION option

The recording session named SESSION.

Without the --session option

The current recording session (see lttng-concepts(7) to learn more about the current recording session).

See lttng-concepts(7) to learn more about channels.

The disable-channel command disables one channel per CHANNEL argument.

As of LTTng 2.13.11, you may NOT enable a disabled channel once its recording session has been started (see lttng-start(1)) at least once.

See the “Examples” section below for usage examples.

Options

See lttng(1) for GENERAL OPTIONS.

Tracing domain

One of:

-k, --kernel: Disable one or more Linux kernel channels.
-u, --userspace: Disable one or more user space channels.

Recording target

-s SESSION, --session=SESSION: Disable one or more channels of the recording session named SESSION instead of the current recording session.

Program information

-h, --help

Show help.

This option attempts to launch /usr/bin/man to view this manual page. Override the manual pager path with the LTTNG_MAN_BIN_PATH environment variable.

--list-options

List available command options and quit.

Exit Status

0: Success
1: Command error
2: Undefined command
3: Fatal error
4: Command warning (something went wrong during the command)

Environment

LTTNG_ABORT_ON_ERROR

Set to 1 to abort the process after the first error is encountered.

LTTNG_HOME

Path to the LTTng home directory.

Defaults to $HOME.

Useful when the Unix user running the commands has a non-writable home directory.

LTTNG_MAN_BIN_PATH

Absolute path to the manual pager to use to read the LTTng command-line help (with lttng-help(1) or with the --help option) instead of /usr/bin/man.

LTTNG_SESSION_CONFIG_XSD_PATH

Path to the directory containing the session.xsd recording session configuration XML schema.

LTTNG_SESSIOND_PATH

Absolute path to the LTTng session daemon binary (see lttng-sessiond(8)) to spawn from the lttng-create(1) command.

The --sessiond-path general option overrides this environment variable.

Files

$LTTNG_HOME/.lttngrc

Unix user’s LTTng runtime configuration.

This is where LTTng stores the name of the Unix user’s current recording session between executions of lttng(1). lttng-create(1) and lttng-set-session(1) set the current recording session.

$LTTNG_HOME/lttng-traces

Default output directory of LTTng traces in local and snapshot modes.

Override this path with the --output option of the lttng-create(1) command.

$LTTNG_HOME/.lttng

Unix user’s LTTng runtime and configuration directory.

$LTTNG_HOME/.lttng/sessions

Default directory containing the Unix user’s saved recording session configurations (see lttng-save(1) and lttng-load(1)).

/usr/local/etc/lttng/sessions

Directory containing the system-wide saved recording session configurations (see lttng-save(1) and lttng-load(1)).

Note

$LTTNG_HOME defaults to the value of the HOME environment variable.

Examples

Example 1. Disable one Linux kernel channel of the current recording session.

$ lttng disable-channel --kernel my-channel

Example 2. Disable two user space channels of a specific recording session.

See the --session option.

$ lttng disable-channel --kernel --session=my-session \
                        little,box
