-2) Enable event(s). Here for example, we want only 'sched_switch' and
-'sys_enter' events for the kernel (-k/--kernel).
+2) Enable tracepoint event(s). Here for example, we want only
+'sched_switch' and 'sched_wakeup' events for the kernel (-k/--kernel).

+or enable ALL tracepoint events (-a/--all):

+3) Enable all system call event(s).

+# lttng enable-event -a -k --syscall

+4) Enable kprobes and/or the function tracer with lttng
This is a new feature made possible by the new LTTng 2.0 kernel tracer. You can
enable a dynamic probe and data will be output in the trace along side with
# lttng enable-event aname -k --function <symbol_name>
-4) Enable context information for an event:
+5) Enable context information for an event:
This is also a new feature which allows you to add context information to an
event. For example, you can add the PID along with the event information:
# lttng add-context -k -e sched_switch -t pid -t nice -t tid
-5) Enable perf counter for an event:
+6) Enable perf counter for an event:
Again, a new powerful feature is the possibility to add perf counter data
(using the perf API by Ingo Molnar and Thomas Gleixner) to the trace on a per
You'll have to use the add-context help for all possible perf counter values.
-6) Start tracing:
+7) Start tracing:
# lttng start
Tracing is in progress at this point and traces will be written in
$HOME/lttng-traces/mysession-<date>-<time>
-7) Stop tracing:
+8) Stop tracing:
# lttng stop
Note: At this point, you can restart the trace (lttng start), enable/disable
events or just go take a break and come back 3 days later to start it again :).
-8) Destroy your session after you are done with tracing
+9) Destroy your session after you are done with tracing
