TRACE-CMD-AGENT(1)          libtracefs Manual         TRACE-CMD-AGENT(1)

NAME         top

       trace-cmd-agent - Run as an agent on a machine (to be controlled
       by another machine)

SYNOPSIS         top

       trace-cmd agent [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION         top

       The trace-cmd(1) agent listens over a vsocket (for virtual
       machines) or a TCP port for connections to control the tracing of
       the machine. The agent will then start tracing on the local
       machine and pass the data to the controlling connection.

OPTIONS         top

       -N client
           Listen over TCP instead of a vsocket. Must pass in a client
           host name or IP address to allow connection to. It will only
           connect to the specified client. Note, any process on that
           client can control the agent.

               *This is a very insecure setting. Only use on a trusted network*
               *Only use if the client machine is totally trusted*

       -p port
           This option will specify the port to listen to.

       -D
           This options causes trace-cmd agent to go into a daemon mode
           and run in the background.

       -P cid
           Allow an agent to also act as a proxy server, where it can be
           run on a host and connect with a guest.  cid is the context
           ID (see vsock(7)) of the client (e.g., guest VM) it will
           allow to connect.

       --verbose[=level]
           Set the log level. Supported log levels are "none",
           "critical", "error", "warning", "info", "debug", "all" or
           their identifiers "0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6". Setting
           the log level to specific value enables all logs from that
           and all previous levels. The level will default to "info" if
           one is not specified.

               Example: enable all critical, error and warning logs

               trace-cmd listen --verbose=warning
