BABELTRACE2-SOURCE()                                BABELTRACE2-SOURCE()

NAME         top

       babeltrace2-source.ctf.lttng-live - Babeltrace 2's LTTng live
       source component class

DESCRIPTION         top

       A Babeltrace 2 source.ctf.lttng-live message iterator connects to
       a local or remote LTTng (see <https://lttng.org/>) relay daemon,
       receives the streams of a specific tracing session, and emits
       corresponding messages.

           CTF streams over
           LTTng live (TCP)
             |
             |   +--------------------+
             |   | src.ctf.lttng-live |
             '-->|                    |
                 |                out @--> Sorted messages of one
                 +--------------------+    or more streams

       More information about LTTng live is available in the LTTng
       Documentation (see <https://lttng.org/docs/#doc-lttng-live>).

       See babeltrace2-intro(7) to learn more about the Babeltrace 2
       project and its core concepts.

       A source.ctf.lttng-live component has a single output port: its
       message iterator muxes (sorts) the messages from the various CTF
       data streams internally.

       A source.ctf.lttng-live message iterator handles the messages of
       one, and only one LTTng tracing session. A single LTTng tracing
       session can contain one or more traces, depending on the active
       tracing domains and the configured user space buffering scheme.

       The component connects to an LTTng relay daemon using the inputs
       parameter. This is an array of exactly one string which is the
       URL of the LTTng relay daemon to connect to.

       By default, if the remote tracing session name does not exist,
       the message iterator returns "try again later". This default mode
       makes the message iterator never end: even if the remote tracing
       session is destroyed, the message iterator keeps on waiting for a
       tracing session with the same name to exist. You can change this
       behaviour with the session-not-found-action initialization
       parameter.

           Note

           As of this version, you can only create one message iterator
           per source.ctf.lttng-live component. This is because the
           LTTng live protocol accepts at most one client per tracing
           session per LTTng relay daemon.

INITIALIZATION PARAMETERS         top

       inputs=URL [array of one string]
           Use URL to connect to the LTTng relay daemon.

           URL is an array of exactly one string of which the format is:

               net[4]://RDHOST[:RDPORT]/host/TGTHOST/SESSION

           RDHOST
               LTTng relay daemon’s host name or IP address.

           RDPORT
               LTTng relay daemon’s listening port.

               If not specified, the component uses the default port
               (5344).

           TGTHOST
               Target’s host name or IP address.

           SESSION
               Name of the LTTng tracing session from which to receive
               data.

       session-not-found-action=(continue | fail | end) [optional
       string]
           When the message iterator does not find the specified remote
           tracing session (SESSION part of the inputs parameter), do
           one of:

           continue (default)
               Keep on trying, returning "try again later" to the
               downstream user until the tracing session exists.

               With this action, the message iterator never ends, as the
               LTTng live protocol cannot currently indicate that a
               tracing session will never exist.

           fail
               Fail.

           end
               End.

QUERY OBJECTS         top

   babeltrace.support-info
       See babeltrace2-query-babeltrace.support-info(7) to learn more
       about this query object.

       For a string input which honors the LTTng live URL format (see
       the inputs parameter), the result object is 0.75.

   sessions
       You can query the sessions object to get a list of available
       LTTng tracing sessions for a given LTTng relay daemon URL.

       Parameters:

       url=URL [string]
           Use URL to connect to the LTTng relay daemon.

           The format of URL is:

               net[4]://RDHOST[:RDPORT]

           RDHOST
               LTTng relay daemon’s host name or IP address.

           RDPORT
               LTTng relay daemon’s listening port.

               If not specified, the query operation uses the default
               port (5344).

       Result object (array of maps, one element for each available
       tracing session):

       client-count [unsigned integer]
           Current number of LTTng live clients connected to the relay
           daemon to receive data from this tracing session.

       session-name [string]
           Tracing session’s name.

       stream-count [unsigned integer]
           Current number of CTF streams in this tracing sessions,
           including the metadata streams.

       target-hostname [string]
           Hostname of the tracing session.

           This is not necessarily the relay daemon’s hostname.

       timer-us [unsigned integer]
           Tracing session’s configured live timer’s period (µs) (see
           lttng-create(1)).

       url [string]
           URL to use as the first element of the inputs parameter to
           connect to the same LTTng relay daemon and receive data from
           this tracing session.
