16 | DESCRIPTION | |
17 | ----------- | |
18 | The `lttng load` command loads the configurations of one or more | |
19 | tracing sessions from files. | |
20 | ||
21 | The `lttng load` command is used in conjunction with the | |
74354842 | 22 | man:lttng-save(1) command to save and restore the complete |
44f5039e PP |
23 | configurations of tracing sessions. This includes the enabled channels |
24 | and event rules, the context added to channels, the tracing activity, | |
25 | and more. | |
26 | ||
27 | Once one or more tracing session configurations are loaded, they appear | |
28 | exactly as they were saved from the user's point of view. | |

30 | The following directories are searched, non-recursively, in this order |
31 | for configuration files: | |
32 | ||
33 | . `$LTTNG_HOME/.lttng/sessions` (`$LTTNG_HOME` defaults to `$HOME`) | |
34 | . +{system_sessions_dir}+ | |
35 | ||
36 | The input path can be overridden with the option:--input-path option. | |
37 | When this option is specified, the default directories are :not: | |
38 | searched for configuration files. When it's not specified, _both_ | |
39 | default directories are searched for configuration files. | |

40 | |
41 | If the input path is a directory, then if 'SESSION' is specified, the | |
42 | tracing session configuration named 'SESSION' is searched in all the | |
43 | files of this directory and loaded if found. If 'SESSION' is not | |
44 | specified, the option:--all option is implicit: all the tracing session | |
45 | configurations found in all the files in this directory are loaded. | |
46 | ||
47 | If the input path is a file, then if 'SESSION' is specified, the tracing | |
48 | session configuration named 'SESSION' is searched in this file and | |
49 | loaded if found. If 'SESSION' is not specified, the option:--all option | |
50 | is implicit: all the tracing session configurations found in this file | |
51 | are loaded. | |
52 | ||
53 | By default, existing tracing sessions are not overwritten when loading; | |
54 | the command fails. The option:--force option can be used to allow this. | |

67 | Load tracing session configurations from 'PATH', either a directory |
68 | or a file, instead of loading them from the default search | |
69 | directories. | |
