From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: david.goulet@polymtl.ca (David Goulet) Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2011 15:19:19 -0500 Subject: [ltt-dev] No trace data inside the trace folders In-Reply-To: <135603.92097.qm@web113114.mail.gq1.yahoo.com> References: <135603.92097.qm@web113114.mail.gq1.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <4D5ADFC7.7080408@polymtl.ca> Hi Srivatsan, If usttrace give you no trace directory it's because their was no data recorded by the tracer. It's like tracing an application that does not contain UST instrumentation. For example : $ usttrace ls will output only app.log and ust-consumerd.log and no data. However, I saw that you are using a very simple test case : #include int main(int argc, char **argv) { trace_mark(main,myevent,"%d", getpid()); } This should actually work fine with the latest UST release (0.11). However, using the channel "main" will not produce data for you. At this point, only the channel "ust" is supported. If you still don't get the directory containing data, maybe try the latest git head of UST. Thanks!
