LTTNG-PERIODTOP(1)

💅 NAME 💅

lttng-periodtop — LTTng analyses period top, bestie. It's giving "let me show you the period tea" ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so, real talk: the usage is literally this, and I am NOT paraphrasing the flags, they're staying exactly as they are, periodt:

usage: lttng-periodtop [-h] [-r REFRESH] [--gmt] [--skip-validation]
       [--begin BEGIN] [--end END] [--period PERIOD]
       [--period-captures PERIOD_CAPTURES] [--period-begin PERIOD_BEGIN]
       [--period-end PERIOD_END] [--period-begin-key PERIOD_BEGIN_KEY]
       [--period-end-key PERIOD_END_KEY] [--period-key-value
       PERIOD_KEY_VALUE] [--cpu CPU] [--timerange TIMERANGE]
       [--progress-use-size] [--no-intersection] [-V] [--debug]
       [--no-color] [--no-progress] [--min MIN] [--max MAX] [--freq]
       [--freq-resolution FREQ_RESOLUTION] [--freq-uniform]
       [--freq-series] [--limit LIMIT] [--top] [--log] [--stats]
       [--min-duration MIN_DURATION] [--max-duration MAX_DURATION]
       [--aggregate-by AGGREGATE_BY] [--select SELECT] [--group-by
       GROUP_BY] [--order-by ORDER_BY] <path/to/trace>

The periods command. that's it, that's the whole vibe check 💖

🌸 positional arguments: 🌸

• <path/to/trace> — the trace path, bestie. Point me at it 👑

✨ optional arguments: ✨

• -h, --help — show this help message and exit. classic, iconic, never misses 🫶
• -r REFRESH, --refresh REFRESH — Refresh period, and you can slap an optional units suffix on it (default units: s).
• --gmt — Manipulate timestamps based on GMT instead of local time. no more timezone drama 🕐
• --skip-validation — Skip the trace validation. living dangerously, love that for you 💀
• --begin BEGIN — start time: hh:mm:ss[.nnnnnnnnn]
• --end END — end time: hh:mm:ss[.nnnnnnnnn]
• --period PERIOD — Period definition
• --period-captures PERIOD_CAPTURES — Period captures definition
• --period-begin PERIOD_BEGIN — Analysis period start marker event name
• --period-end PERIOD_END — Analysis period end marker event name (requires --period-begin)
• --period-begin-key PERIOD_BEGIN_KEY — Optional, list of event field names used to match period markers (default: cpu_id)
• --period-end-key PERIOD_END_KEY — Optional, list of event field names used to match period marker. If none specified, use the same --period-begin-key
• --period-key-value PERIOD_KEY_VALUE — Optional, define a fixed key value to which a period must correspond to be considered.
• --cpu CPU — Filter the results only for this list of CPU IDs
• --timerange TIMERANGE — time range: [begin,end]
• --progress-use-size — use trace size to approximate progress
• --no-intersection — disable stream intersection mode
• -V, --version — show program's version number and exit
• --debug — Enable debug mode (or set LTTNG_ANALYSES_DEBUG environment variable). bestie it's telling you the env var, use it 🐛
• --no-color — Disable colored output. tragic, but sometimes you're piping it somewhere, iykyk 🙈
• --no-progress — Don't display the progress bar
• --min MIN — Filter out durations shorter than min usec
• --max MAX — Filter out durations longer than max usec
• --freq — Output statistics about periods durations
• --freq-resolution FREQ_RESOLUTION — Frequency distribution resolution (default 20)
• --freq-uniform — Use a uniform resolution across distributions
• --freq-series — Consolidate frequency distribution histogram as a single one
• --limit LIMIT — Limit to top X (default = 10)
• --top — Output the top sched switch durations
• --log — Output the sched switches in chronological order
• --stats — Output sched switch statistics
• --min-duration MIN_DURATION — Filter out, periods shorter that duration (usec)
• --max-duration MAX_DURATION — Filter out, periods longer than duration (usec)
• --aggregate-by AGGREGATE_BY — FIXME
• --select SELECT — FIXME
• --group-by GROUP_BY — Present the results grouped by a list of fields(period.captured_field[, period.captured_field2])
• --order-by ORDER_BY — hierarchy, time

and that's the whole page, no notes 💅 This one's from LTTng Analyses v0.6.0, dated January 2017, and it's filed under LTTNG-PERIODTOP(1) — the man page name, in case you were wondering where it went, bestie 🎀 mwah, go analyze some periods ✨👑
