The CTF metadata has an environment (env {}) section that contains this kind of
information. LTTng already uses it to store the tracer version and some info
about the system. We could eventually add a feature like this, a "tag", that
would be added to the CTF environment information. I would guess that users
would provide this tag on the lttng command line for their session, and it
would be passed to the tracers by sessiond.
Thoughts ?
Thanks,
Mathieu
