[lttng-dev] LTTng hourly/weekly/monthly tracing

[Philippe Proulx]

I believe the closest you can get is trace file rotation. It's a rotation
of trace files using a maximum size/stream file though, it's not time-based
like you want.

See the --tracefile-size and --tracefile-count options of lttng(1)'s create
command.
