Hi,
Charley and Roland (CC'd) are working with us at Red Hat as interns.
They have created some visualization plugins that make use of custom
SystemTap scripts. This is similar to Anithra & Co.'s work but their
focus so far has been on local users (ie. no fancy remote capabilities).
For their visualization work, Roland & Charley have been experimenting
with GEF's Zest framework [1]. The results are very promising.
This sounds really good! I havent gone through the code as yet but from
what i
understood in the bugzilla the focus seems to be on user-space tracing
which is
not covered at all by the existing plugins. Looks like we are going to
have a nice
multi-purpose systemtap ui tool :).
Roland and Charley - in case you were not
aware we have a fortnightly systemtap call which is hosted by RedHat. It
would
be good if you could join this call so the community knows what is
happening and
we can get suggestions/feedback. The invite and conference numbers were sent
out by Frank Ch. Eigler (fche@xxxxxxxxxx).
Regards,
Anithra.
