| 5 | This is a small guide to get started quickly with LTTng kernel and user |
| 6 | space tracing. For intermediate to advanced use cases and a more |
| 7 | thorough understanding of LTTng, see [Using LTTng](#doc-using-lttng) and |
| 8 | [Understanding LTTng](#doc-understanding-lttng). |

| 10 | Before reading this guide, make sure LTTng |
| 11 | [is installed](#doc-installing-lttng). You need LTTng-tools. Also install |
| 12 | LTTng-modules for |
| 13 | [tracing the Linux kernel](#doc-tracing-the-linux-kernel) and LTTng-UST |
| 14 | for |
| 15 | [tracing your own user space applications](#doc-tracing-your-own-user-application). |
| 16 | When your traces are finally written and complete, the |
| 17 | [Viewing and analyzing your traces](#doc-viewing-and-analyzing-your-traces) |
| 18 | section of this chapter will help you analyze your tracepoint events |
| 19 | to investigate. |
