[lttng-dev] LTTNG LIB UST Crash

Thu Sep 7 07:46:30 EDT 2023

Thanks for replying.

Basically in our python3 application, we already have a logger which will redirect the logs to a log file.  By default, only info logs gets logged unless user explicitly turns on debug logging via cli.

For LTTNG Tracing, we would want to log all the events that is both info/debugs.
>>Do you think there would be any overhead on the application?
>> I cannot use the existing logger which does a file logging so for lttng only I have created just a new logger without any handler. Should this be fine?
>>Also, I see the default channel created for the python logging in lttng  "lttng_python_channel" .  From the documentation, I see that we cannot create another channel for python logging.
I would want to modify some of the attribute for the default channel such as making event-loss-mode as "overwrite" and increasing the trace_file_count. How can I do it ? This is one of the necessary requirement for our application. Can you please guide on this ?

Regards,
Lakshmi

In the example python application at
https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flttng.org%2Fdocs%2Fv2.13%2F%23doc-python-application&data=05%7C01%7Claksd%40nvidia.com%7C5dec50116ea24aef578508dbaeee6437%7C43083d15727340c1b7db39efd9ccc17a%7C0%7C0%7C638296111141743499%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=HMryNCihtLBKA49TWfsxp4%2FkzkFJhZrlyocoAsR7w78%3D&reserved=0<https://lttng.org/docs/v2.13/#doc-python-application> the log messages
are not written to disk or to stderr.

I lack the details of your application to give you a more precise answer.

Hope this helps,
