[lttng-dev] Tracepoints firing without being enabled in LTTng

[Francis Deslauriers]

Adding back lttng-dev mailing list.

So you don't even run a lttng-enable-event command?
That's odd.

Can you send us the output of the following commands:
Is it possible that there are other lttng-sessiond daemons running on
the machine?
> ps aux | grep "lttng-sessiond"
Verify if there are other active tracing sessions:
> lttng list
Check the details of the current session:
> lttng status

Thank you,
Francis

Once I load the built image onto my system and start a session daemon, I try to list all available userspace events (using lttng list -u), but no events show up.
