LTTNG-UNTRACK(1)              LTTng Manual              LTTNG-UNTRACK(1)

NAME         top

       lttng-untrack - Remove one or more entries from an LTTng resource
       tracker

SYNOPSIS         top

       lttng [GENERAL OPTIONS] untrack (--kernel | --userspace)
             [--session=SESSION] (--pid=PID[,PID]... | --all --pid)

DESCRIPTION         top

       The lttng untrack commands removes one or more entries from a
       resource tracker.

       See lttng-track(1) to learn more about LTTng trackers.

       The untrack command removes specific resources from a tracker.
       The resources to remove must have been precedently added by
       lttng-track(1). It is also possible to remove all the resources
       from the whitelist using the --all option.

       As of this version, the only available tracker is the PID
       tracker.

   Example
       One common operation is to create a tracing session (see
       lttng-create(1)), remove all the entries from the PID tracker
       whitelist, start tracing, and then manually track PIDs while
       tracing is active.

       Assume the maximum system PID is 7 for this example.

       Command:

           $ lttng create

       Initial whitelist:

           [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

       Command:

           $ lttng untrack --userspace --pid --all

       Whitelist:

           [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]

       Commands:

           $ lttng enable-event --userspace ...
           $ lttng start
           $ # ...
           $ lttng track --userspace --pid=3,5

       Whitelist:

           [ ] [ ] [ ] [3] [ ] [5] [ ] [ ]

       Command:

           $ lttng track --userspace --pid=2

       Whitelist:

           [ ] [ ] [2] [3] [ ] [5] [ ] [ ]

OPTIONS         top

       General options are described in lttng(1).

   Domain
       One of:

       -k, --kernel
           Untrack resources tracked in the Linux kernel domain.

       -u, --userspace
           Untrack resources tracked in the user space domain.

   Target
       -s, --session=SESSION
           Untrack resources in the tracing session named SESSION
           instead of the current tracing session.

   Untracking
       -a, --all
           Used in conjunction with an empty --pid option: untrack all
           process IDs (clear the whitelist).

       -p [PID[,PID]...], --pid[=PID[,PID]...]
           Untrack process IDs PID (remove them from the current
           whitelist).

           The PID argument must be omitted when also using the --all
           option.

   Program information
       -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.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES         top

       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.

FILES         top

       $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)).

       /usr/local/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.

EXIT STATUS         top

       0
           Success

       1
           Command error

       2
           Undefined command

       3
           Fatal error

       4
           Command warning (something went wrong during the command)
