Re: [linuxtools-dev] How does Eclipse parse LTTng2 / CTF traces ?

[Dominique Toupin <dominique.toupin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

And you will have additional features by using the Eclipse tracing and monitoring framework (it doesn't only support LTTng)
 - Text / XML logs support
 - Custom text/XML parser wizard
 - Common trace format for HW traces
 - Searching, Filtering, Highlighting
 - GDB tracepoint integration
 - Sequence diagram framework
 - etc

Hi Martin

The LTTng integration of Eclipse as part of the Linux Tools project comes with a CTF parser. The CTF parser is written in Java and hence doesn't require any native libraries. I haven't heard of any other CTF parsers than the Eclipse version or babeltrace.


You can use the Eclipse CTF parser standalone [1] or as part of the Tracing and Monitoring Framework (TMF) [2]. Both features you can get from the Linux Tools update site [3]. The source code you can get from the Linux Tools repository [4]. Note, if you're interested what is coming up for the Kepler release, then check the lttng-kepler branch.

[1] CTF parser standalone
For that, install the "CTF - Common Trace Format" feature.

[2] TMF integration of CTF parser
For that install the "LTTng - Linux Tracing Toolkit" feature. This also includes the Eclipse feature TMF and CTF feature from [1]. Note that this feature also comes with a remote tracer control for LTTng 2 (Kernel and UST).

[3] Linux Tools Update site
http://download.eclipse.org/linuxtools/update

[4] Source code
git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/linuxtools/org.eclipse.linuxtools.git

If you have any questions please let us know.

Best Regards
Bernd
