ktap is a script-based dynamic tracing tool for Linux
|
|
|
|
|
|
- It uses a scripting language and lets users trace the Linux kernel
|
|
|
- dynamically. ktap is designed to give operational insights with
|
|
|
- interoperability that allows users to tune, troubleshoot and extend
|
|
|
- kernel and application. It's similar to Linux Systemtap and
|
|
|
- Solaris Dtrace.
