Seems like a solid ground as long as the corresponding ending event is not<br>
inside any conditional paths. I'm sure you already validated that but we never<br>
know.<br>

It could help but I presume it might contains confidential or sensible<br>
information. Let's define the scenario first and we will go back to actual<br>
trace data if needed.<br>

That would be best. In the meantime, could you provide the exact lttng commands<br>
used to setup everything and describe subsequent lttng commands used for<br>
snapshot etc.<br>
<br>
You can omit event name or replace them with dummy name if necessary.<br>
<br>
