.SH "NAME"
trace-cmd-record \- record a trace from the Ftrace Linux internal tracer
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fBtrace\-cmd record\fR [\fIOPTIONS\fR] [\fIcommand\fR]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
The trace\-cmd(1) record command will set up the Ftrace Linux kernel tracer to record the specified plugins or events that happen while the \fIcommand\fR executes\&. If no command is given, then it will record until the user hits Ctrl\-C\&.
.sp
The record command of trace\-cmd will set up the Ftrace tracer to start tracing the various events or plugins that are given on the command line\&. It will then create a number of tracing processes (one per CPU) that will start recording from the kernel ring buffer straight into temporary files\&. When the command is complete (or Ctrl\-C is hit) all the files will be combined into a trace\&.dat file that can later be read (see trace\-cmd\-report(1))\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\fB\-p\fR \fItracer\fR
.RS 4
Specify a tracer\&. Tracers usually do more than just trace an event\&. Common tracers are:
\fBfunction\fR,
\fBfunction_graph\fR,
\fBpreemptirqsoff\fR,
\fBirqsoff\fR,
\fBpreemptoff\fR
and
\fBwakeup\fR\&. A tracer must be supported by the running kernel\&. To see a list of available tracers, see trace\-cmd\-list(1)\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-e\fR \fIevent\fR
.RS 4
Specify an event to trace\&. Various static trace points have been added to the Linux kernel\&. They are grouped by subsystem where you can enable all events of a given subsystem or specify specific events to be enabled\&. The
\fIevent\fR
is of the format "subsystem:event\-name"\&. You can also just specify the subsystem without the
\fI:event\-name\fR
or the event\-name without the "subsystem:"\&. Using "\-e sched_switch" will enable the "sched_switch" event where as, "\-e sched" will enable all events under the "sched" subsystem\&.
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
The \*(Aqevent\*(Aq can also contain glob expressions\&. That is, "*stat*" will
select all events (or subsystems) that have the characters "stat" in their
names\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
The keyword \*(Aqall\*(Aq can be used to enable all events\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.RE
.PP
\fB\-a\fR
.RS 4
Every event that is being recorded has its output format file saved in the output file to be able to display it later\&. But if other events are enabled in the trace without trace\-cmd\(cqs knowledge, the formats of those events will not be recorded and trace\-cmd report will not be able to display them\&. If this is the case, then specify the
\fB\-a\fR
option and the format for all events in the system will be saved\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-T\fR
.RS 4
Enable a stacktrace on each event\&. For example:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
          <idle>\-0     [003] 58549\&.289091: sched_switch:         kworker/0:1:0 [120] R ==> trace\-cmd:2603 [120]
          <idle>\-0     [003] 58549\&.289092: kernel_stack:         <stack trace>
=> schedule (ffffffff814b260e)
=> cpu_idle (ffffffff8100a38c)
=> start_secondary (ffffffff814ab828)
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-func\-stack\fR
.RS 4
Enable a stack trace on all functions\&. Note this is only applicable for the "function" plugin tracer, and will only take effect if the \-l option is used and succeeds in limiting functions\&. If the function tracer is not filtered, and the stack trace is enabled, you can live lock the machine\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-f\fR \fIfilter\fR
.RS 4
Specify a filter for the previous event\&. This must come after a
\fB\-e\fR\&. This will filter what events get recorded based on the content of the event\&. Filtering is passed to the kernel directly so what filtering is allowed may depend on what version of the kernel you have\&. Basically, it will let you use C notation to check if an event should be processed or not\&.
.RE
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
    ==, >=, <=, >, <, &, |, && and ||
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
The above are usually safe to use to compare fields\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
\fB\-\-no\-filter\fR
.RS 4
Do not filter out the trace\-cmd threads\&. By default, the threads are filtered out to not be traced by events\&. This option will have the trace\-cmd threads also be traced\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-R\fR \fItrigger\fR
.RS 4
Specify a trigger for the previous event\&. This must come after a
\fB\-e\fR\&. This will add a given trigger to the given event\&. To only enable the trigger and not the event itself, then place the event after the
\fB\-v\fR
option\&.
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
See Documentation/trace/events\&.txt in the Linux kernel source for more
information on triggers\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.RE
.PP
\fB\-v\fR
.RS 4
This will cause all events specified after it on the command line to not be traced\&. This is useful for selecting a subsystem to be traced but to leave out various events\&. For Example: "\-e sched \-v \-e "*stat\e*"" will enable all events in the sched subsystem except those that have "stat" in their names\&.
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
Note: the *\-v* option was taken from the way grep(1) inverts the following
matches\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.RE
.PP
\fB\-F\fR
.RS 4
This will filter only the executable that is given on the command line\&. If no command is given, then it will filter itself (pretty pointless)\&. Using
\fB\-F\fR
will let you trace only events that are caused by the given command\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-P\fR \fIpid\fR
.RS 4
Similar to
\fB\-F\fR
but lets you specify a process ID to trace\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-c\fR
.RS 4
Used with either
\fB\-F\fR
(or
\fB\-P\fR
if kernel supports it) to trace the process\*(Aq children too\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-user\fR
.RS 4
Execute the specified
\fBcommand\fR
as given user\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-C\fR \fIclock\fR
.RS 4
Set the trace clock to "clock"\&.
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
Use trace\-cmd(1) list \-C to see what clocks are available\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.RE
.PP
\fB\-o\fR \fIoutput\-file\fR
.RS 4
By default, trace\-cmd report will create a
\fItrace\&.dat\fR
file\&. You can specify a different file to write to with the
\fB\-o\fR
option\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-l\fR \fIfunction\-name\fR
.RS 4
This will limit the
\fIfunction\fR
and
\fIfunction_graph\fR
tracers to only trace the given function name\&. More than one
\fB\-l\fR
may be specified on the command line to trace more than one function\&. The limited use of glob expressions are also allowed\&. These are
\fImatch*\fR
to only filter functions that start with
\fImatch\fR\&.
\fI*match\fR
to only filter functions that end with
\fImatch\fR\&.
\fI*match\e*\fR
to only filter on functions that contain
\fImatch\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-g\fR \fIfunction\-name\fR
.RS 4
This option is for the function_graph plugin\&. It will graph the given function\&. That is, it will only trace the function and all functions that it calls\&. You can have more than one
\fB\-g\fR
on the command line\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-n\fR \fIfunction\-name\fR
.RS 4
This has the opposite effect of
\fB\-l\fR\&. The function given with the
\fB\-n\fR
option will not be traced\&. This takes precedence, that is, if you include the same function for both
\fB\-n\fR
and
\fB\-l\fR, it will not be traced\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-d\fR
.RS 4
Some tracer plugins enable the function tracer by default\&. Like the latency tracers\&. This option prevents the function tracer from being enabled at start up\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-D\fR
.RS 4
The option
\fB\-d\fR
will try to use the function\-trace option to disable the function tracer (if available), otherwise it defaults to the proc file: /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled, but will not touch it if the function\-trace option is available\&. The
\fB\-D\fR
option will disable both the ftrace_enabled proc file as well as the function\-trace option if it exists\&.
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
Note, this disable function tracing for all users, which includes users
outside of ftrace tracers (stack_tracer, perf, etc)\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.RE
.PP
\fB\-O\fR \fIoption\fR
.RS 4
Ftrace has various options that can be enabled or disabled\&. This allows you to set them\&. Appending the text
\fIno\fR
to an option disables it\&. For example: "\-O nograph\-time" will disable the "graph\-time" Ftrace option\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-s\fR \fIinterval\fR
.RS 4
The processes that trace\-cmd creates to record from the ring buffer need to wake up to do the recording\&. Setting the
\fIinterval\fR
to zero will cause the processes to wakeup every time new data is written into the buffer\&. But since Ftrace is recording kernel activity, the act of this processes going back to sleep may cause new events into the ring buffer which will wake the process back up\&. This will needlessly add extra data into the ring buffer\&.
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
The \*(Aqinterval\*(Aq metric is microseconds\&. The default is set to 1000 (1 ms)\&.
This is the time each recording process will sleep before waking up to
record any new data that was written to the ring buffer\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.RE
.PP
\fB\-r\fR \fIpriority\fR
.RS 4
The priority to run the capture threads at\&. In a busy system the trace capturing threads may be staved and events can be lost\&. This increases the priority of those threads to the real time (FIFO) priority\&. But use this option with care, it can also change the behaviour of the system being traced\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-b\fR \fIsize\fR
.RS 4
This sets the ring buffer size to
\fIsize\fR
kilobytes\&. Because the Ftrace ring buffer is per CPU, this size is the size of each per CPU ring buffer inside the kernel\&. Using "\-b 10000" on a machine with 4 CPUs will make Ftrace have a total buffer size of 40 Megs\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-B\fR \fIbuffer\-name\fR
.RS 4
If the kernel supports multiple buffers, this will add a buffer with the given name\&. If the buffer name already exists, that buffer is just reset and will not be deleted at the end of record execution\&. If the buffer is created, it will be removed at the end of execution (unless the
\fB\-k\fR
is set, or
\fIstart\fR
command was used)\&.
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
After a buffer name is stated, all events added after that will be
associated with that buffer\&. If no buffer is specified, or an event
is specified before a buffer name, it will be associated with the
main (toplevel) buffer\&.

The above is will enable all sched events in the main buffer\&. It will
then create a \*(Aqblock\*(Aq buffer instance and enable all block events within
that buffer\&. A \*(Aqtime\*(Aq buffer instance is created and all timer events
will be enabled for that event\&.

The max size in kilobytes that a per cpu buffer should be\&. Note, due to rounding to page size, the number may not be totally correct\&. Also, this is performed by switching between two buffers that are half the given size thus the output may not be of the given size even if much more was written\&.

\fB\-k\fR
.RS 4
By default, when trace\-cmd is finished tracing, it will reset the buffers and disable all the tracing that it enabled\&. This option keeps trace\-cmd from disabling the tracer and reseting the buffer\&. This option is useful for debugging trace\-cmd\&.
.sp

.RS 4
If another machine is running "trace\-cmd listen", this option is used to have the data sent to that machine with UDP packets\&. Instead of writing to an output file, the data is sent off to a remote box\&. This is ideal for embedded machines with little storage, or having a single machine that will keep all the data in a single repository\&.

This option is used with
\fB\-N\fR, when there\(cqs a need to send the live data with TCP packets instead of UDP\&. Although TCP is not nearly as fast as sending the UDP packets, but it may be needed if the network is not that reliable, the amount of data is not that intensive, and a guarantee is needed that all traced information is transfered successfully\&.
