babeltrace-log - Convert a Linux kernel ring buffer to a CTF trace
babeltrace-log [--with-timestamps] OUTPUT-PATH
The babeltrace-log tool reads the lines of a Linux kernel ring buffer, as printed by the dmesg(1) tool, from the standard input stream and converts them to a CTF (see <http://diamon.org/ctf/>) trace written to the OUTPUT-PATH directory. Usage example: $ dmesg | babeltrace-log --with-timestamps my-trace The events of the generated CTF trace are named string and contain a single payload string field named str which contains the corresponding ring buffer line. By default, babeltrace-log does not try to extract the timestamps of the kernel ring buffer lines to use them as the created events’s timestamps. A typical dmesg(1) line looks like this: [87166.510937] PM: Finishing wakeup. In the last example, the [87166.510937] part is a timestamp which could be extracted. You can make babeltrace-log extract timestamps from lines with the --with-timestamps option.
-t, --with-timestamps Extract timestamps from the kernel ring buffer lines: set the created event’s payload’s str field to the rest of the line, excluding any timestamp prefix.
See the environment variables of babeltrace-source.text.dmesg(7), babeltrace-filter.utils.muxer(7), and babeltrace-sink.ctf.fs(7). Babeltrace library BABELTRACE_COMMON_LOG_LEVEL Common functions’s log level. The available values are the same as for the --log-level option of babeltrace(1). BABELTRACE_COMPAT_LOG_LEVEL Compatibility functions’s log level. The available values are the same as for the --log-level option of babeltrace(1). BABELTRACE_TERM_COLOR Force the terminal color support. The available values are: AUTO Only emit terminal color codes when the standard output and error streams are connected to a color-capable terminal. NEVER Never emit terminal color codes. ALWAYS Always emit terminal color codes. BABELTRACE_DISABLE_PYTHON_PLUGINS Set to 1 to disable the loading of any Babeltrace Python plugin. BABELTRACE_LOGGING_GLOBAL_LEVEL Babeltrace library’s global log level. The available values are the same as for the --log-level option of babeltrace(1) BABELTRACE_NO_DLCLOSE Set to 1 to make the Babeltrace library leave any dynamically loaded modules (plugins and Python plugin provider) open at exit. This can be useful for debugging purposes. BABELTRACE_PLUGIN_PATH Colon-separated list of directories, in order, in which dynamic plugins can be found before other directories are considered.
$HOME/.local/lib/babeltrace/plugins User plugin directory. /usr/local/lib/babeltrace/plugins System plugin directory.
0 on success, 1 otherwise.
