Subject: [lttng-dev] LTTng-UST new tracelog() feature
Message-ID: <2128314805.7287.1433860960349.JavaMail.zimbra@efficios.com>

Hi,

I just pushed a new instrumentation feature into lttng-ust
targeting applications that want to move their existing logging
facilities to LTTng-UST. From the updated lttng-ust(3) manpage:

USAGE WITH TRACELOG
       If you want to migrate existing logging (info, errors, ...)   to  LTTng
       UST, you can use the tracelog() interface.  To do it, in a nutshell:

       1) #include <lttng/tracelog.h>

       2) /* in your code, use like a printf, with extra loglevel info. */
          tracelog(TRACE_INFO, "Message with integer %d", 1234);

       3) Link your program against liblttng-ust.so.

       4)  Enable  UST events when tracing with the following sequence of com?
       mands
          from lttng-tools:

          lttng create
          lttng enable-event -u "lttng_ust_tracelog:*"
          lttng start
          [... run your program ...]
          lttng stop
          lttng view

       That's it!

       You can replace  the  enable-event  line  above  with  a  selection  of
       loglevels, e.g.:

          lttng enable-event -u -a --loglevel TRACE_INFO

       Which  will  gather  all  events  from  TRACE_INFO  and  more important
       loglevels.

Feedback is welcome!

Thanks,

Mathieu
