What is the reason behind using the live feature here since you are running
things locally (lttng-relayd/--set-url 127.0.0.1)?

Are you doing live analysis or performing analysis after the
fact?

In other word, what are you trying to achieve with tracing?

I just want to make sure that you are using the most appropriate way of tracing
to achieve your goal.

Are you sure you want to use the read-timer option?

Using 2000000 as its value mean that userspace subbuffers status will only be checked
upon each 2 seconds.

What do you mean by "Hung up"? Are you using babeltrace and connecting to the
lttng-relayd daemon on localhost?

What is your expectation?

Do you mean that you are still receiving data on babeltrace side even when
performing a lttng stop/destroy command?

This can happen if babeltrace is "catching-up" on the data, keep in mind that
lttng-relayd have the trace data and can continue to send information to a
babeltrace client even if the consumerd/sessiond is killed or the session
stopped/destroyed.

Which application? Your application? Babeltrace? lttng-sessiond?

If you are talking about your application, could you provide a backtrace
indicating that ust is the culprit here?
