[ltt-dev] No trace data inside the trace folders

[Srivatsan Vijayaraghavan]

I am very sorry to have misled all of you. I used the ellipsis to mean some path name and my host name and date string are indeed fine. It's really the trace folder which is missing even when I specify it explicitly using the -o option, it stops after creating app.log and ust-consumerd.log, there is no trace folder inside my trace directory.

pwd - /usr/local/bin
usttrace -o /usr/local/bin/traceapp ./testust
- Waiting for ust-consumerd to shutdown...
- Trace was output in /usr/local/bin/traceapp

Then i went to inspect the trace output only to find app.log and ust-consumerd.log inside /usr/local/bin/traceapp. 

ls /usr/local/bin/traceap showed me only app.log and ust-consumerd.log

Thanks,
Srivatsan V

Ah, "..." is the problem. It's not a valid path name.

The following usttrace code seems problemstic on your system:

# Create directory for trace output
if [ -n "$OUTPUT_DIR" ]; then
        OUTDIR=$OUTPUT_DIR
else
        DATESTRING="$(hostname)-$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S%N)"
        OUTDIR="$BASE_TRACE_DIR/$DATESTRING"
fi

So your commands "hostname" and "date" are missing.
