LTTNG-LOAD(1)                 LTTng Manual                 LTTNG-LOAD(1)

NAME         top

       lttng-load - Load LTTng tracing session configurations

SYNOPSIS         top

       lttng [GENERAL OPTIONS] load [--force] [--input-path=PATH]
             [--override-url=URL] [SESSION [--override-name=NAME]]

DESCRIPTION         top

       The lttng load command loads the configurations of one or more
       tracing sessions from files.

       The lttng load command is used in conjunction with the
       lttng-save(1) command to save and restore the complete
       configurations of tracing sessions. This includes the enabled
       channels and event rules, the context added to channels, the
       tracing activity, and more.

       Once one or more tracing session configurations are loaded, they
       appear exactly as they were saved from the user’s point of view.

       The following directories are searched, non-recursively, in this
       order for configuration files:

        1. $LTTNG_HOME/.lttng/sessions ($LTTNG_HOME defaults to $HOME)

        2. /usr/local/etc/lttng/sessions

       The input path can be overridden with the --input-path option.
       When this option is specified, the default directories are NOT
       searched for configuration files. When it’s not specified, both
       default directories are searched for configuration files.

       If the input path is a directory, then:

       •   If SESSION is specified, the tracing session configuration
           named SESSION is searched for in all the files of this
           directory and loaded if found.

       •   If SESSION is not specified, the --all option is implicit:
           all the tracing session configurations found in all the files
           in this directory are loaded.

       If the input path is a file, then:

       •   If SESSION is specified, the tracing session configuration
           named SESSION is searched for in this file and loaded if
           found.

       •   If SESSION is not specified, the --all option is implicit:
           all the tracing session configurations found in this file are
           loaded.

       Aspects of the loaded configurations can be overridden at load
       time using the --override-url and --override-name options.

       By default, existing tracing sessions are not overwritten when
       loading: the command fails. The --force option can be used to
       allow this.

OPTIONS         top

       General options are described in lttng(1).

       -a, --all
           Load all tracing session configurations (default).

       -f, --force
           Overwrite existing tracing sessions when loading.

       -i PATH, --input-path=PATH
           Load tracing session configurations from PATH, either a
           directory or a file, instead of loading them from the default
           search directories.

       --override-name=NAME
           Override the name of the loaded tracing session
           configuration, SESSION, with NAME.

           You must specify a tracing session name to load (SESSION) and
           NOT use the --all option when using this option.

       --override-url=URL
           Override the URL of the loaded tracing session configurations
           with URL.

           This is the equivalent of the --set-url option of
           lttng-create(1). The validity of the URL override depends on
           the type of tracing session configurations to load. This
           option applies to all the loaded tracing session
           configurations.

   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)
