[ltt-dev] LTTng net_extended_trace - example data

[benjamin.poirier@polymtl.ca (Benjamin Poirier)]

Hello Gergely,

You can find a set of traces, results57, which work with the newest lttv at
http://lttng.org/~ben/results57.tar.bz2

These work with lttv 0.12.29
http://lttng.org/files/packages/lttv-0.12.29-02022010.tar.gz
and with the current git head.

Compile and install lttv from the tar archive, then run:
lttv-gui --sync --sync-stats -t results57/node1 -t results57/node2
If you are confortable building from git, you can compile and then run:
./runlttv -a"--sync --sync-stats" results57/node*

These traces showcase two programs: "broadcaster" which is a traffic
generator and an ssh session, which is more interesting.

Have a look around time 3092s, pid 1896 on node2 is the ssh client and
pid 1927 on node1 is the sshd server. The two are running on different
machines but the traces align accurately. In this case, the average
accuracy is +/- 28us. You can compare this without synchronization:
rerun lttv without the --sync options. The client and server are miles
appart.

If you'd like to try out advanced synchronization options, have a look
at lttv/lttv/sync/README. If you encounter problems or have further
questions, you are welcome to contact me or the ltt-dev mailing list again.
