Hi Jonathan. Thank you for your response.

On the beaglebone black, i tried building lttng-tools, lttng-modules-dkms and lttng-ust-dev from source v2.8.1 by following the documentation. lttng-modules-dkms runs fine but the module does not show up on the list of running modules when i issue an lsmod command. Also, i run into errors while trying to build and compile lttng-tools. Beaglebone black runs on debian. Linux beaglebone 3.8.13-bone70 #1 SMP Fri Jan 23 02:15:42 UTC 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux

What errors do you see when building lttng-tools?



On the raspberry pi, I use the commands, apt-get install lttng-modules-dkms lttng-tools lttng-ust-dev. Everything seems to work fine with the exception of lttng-modules-dkms which does not show up on the list on running modules. Also, every time i try to view available kernel events, it comes up with an error saying unable to list kernel events: kernel tracer not available. The LTTNG version installed using apt-get is 2.7.1. I am running ubuntu mate OS. Below are the output while installing lttng-modules-dkms

Well as the error points out do you have the kernel tracer started?

ps -aux | grep lttng-sessiond

Does the user trying to use lttng is part of the tracing group or is root ?

You can start lttng-sessiond with the -vvv options make sure to be root when doing so lttng-sessiond load the tracing modules.

Since you installed it from apt-get the lttng-tools package provide a daemon for lttng-sessiond so before testing manually:

service lttng-sessiond stop

Could you make sure that your linux header for the running kernel are installed.

4.4.30-v7+ seems like a custom kernel install.

    Hi,

    Could you be a bit more precise regarding which part of the
    documentation does not work ?

    How did you install it ? Distribution packages ? From sources ?
    Cross compiled ?

    What is your setup ? Raspian for the Pi ? Custom kernel image ?

    Cheers

        Hello.

        I am trying to install LTTNG tracing tool on raspberry pi and
        beaglebone black board.The official LTTNG documentation does
        not work on these devices. Does anyone know of any tutorial
        that can help me accomplish this? Thanks.
