Hi All,
Is adding a new channel to an existing(running) session supported?
No.
i get following error when doing this.
Error: Channel myc5: Tracing already started

Is there any way to add channels on the fly?
No. LTTng's documentation [1] states:

     Note: Because of a current limitation, all channels must be
     created prior to beginning tracing in a given tracing session,
     i.e. before the first time you do lttng start.

The wording "Because of a current limitation" seems to imply that it could and will eventually be rectified. It this actually the case, or is the doc just giving the user false hope? ;)

     Since a channel is automatically created by enable-event
     only for the specified domain, you cannot, for example, enable
     a kernel domain event, start tracing and then enable a user
     space domain event because no user space channel exists
     yet and it's too late to create one.

     For this reason, make sure to configure your channels
     properly before starting the tracers for the first time!
