I’d like to announce sysdig, a new open source project that I believe could be interesting to the LTTng community. Sysdig is designed to offer a novel, Wireshark-like approach to system tracing.

https://github.com/draios/sysdig

Sysdig is similar to lttng from the instrumentation point of view, but is like a mix between tcpdump, strace and lsof. It adds a set of layers on top of traditional kernel-level instrumentation to reconstruct state, decode and filter information.

It comes packed with a set of pretty cool features: the ability to create system trace files in the wireshark-compatible pcap-ng format, an easy to use filtering language, scripting in Lua, and a libpcap-like capture library that can be used to build new tools on top of the capture infrastructure.

I’d love to hear what you all think. And, if you do enjoy using sysdig, we could really use your help spreading the word.

Thanks!
