Eclipse Community Forumsearly LTTng usage
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/155226/489021/#msg_489021
When I run this source version I see there's a LTTng perspective available and I can create a new LTTng project.
But that's all I can do.
Is this the current state, or is it possible to try some more features?
Is there any detailed information about LTTng roadmap available?
From the LTP page I can't find more information.
TIA

The LTTng integration is not yet ready for prime time
If you really want to give it a try, you will have to do the following:
- Download the latest version of the plugins
- Download and install the latest LTTng trace library (it's a parser written in C) from the Polytechnique git repository. See Bug290060 for installation details.
- Build the lib and launch an Eclipse workbench (with the LTTng plugins...)
- Switch to the LTTng perspective
- Create an LTTng project. 2 directories will be created: Traces and Experiment.
- From the Traces context menu, import one or more traces. If you don't have LTTng traces handy, sample can be found in the org.eclipse.linuxtools.lttng.tests under the traceset/ directory. DON'T USE trace_211064ev_nolost. It is bad.
- From the Experiment context menu, create a new experiment.
- From the new experiment's context menu, add a trace among the ones imported n the Trace directory.
- Double-click on the experiment wish to explore.
Be gentle with the whole thing
You can find a lot of documentation about LTTng itself at http://lttng.org.

Do you like to receive my results/findings?
If yes, to this forum or elsewhere?
anyway I post my first results right away
my current tests end at the point after importing a trace into the LTTng project.
The subfolder "Traces" contains n empty children, where n is the number of trace files that are located in my trace folder that I created using LTTng cmd line.
This happens with my own traces as well as with those provided in the test folder.
The subsequent "Add Traces" to the created experiment does not show the wizard (I guess because the traces itself are not shown in the list)
regards

This is the right place to post questions. I just didn't really follow it regularly before because I didn't think anybody would want to try this at this early stage And, yes, I am very interested in your findings
Anyhow, as this is very much a work in progress, we don't yet perform any type of validation on the trace. One peculiarity of an LTTng trace is that it is actually a composite of multiple channel traces grouped under a folder. The nasty, implicit, part is that you have to import the folder itself, not only its contents...
The attached image illustrates how it should look like when importing an LTTng trace.
Hope this helps!

Humm.... I guess I can't attach a image that easily... Send me an e-mail at fchouinard@gmail.com and I will reply with the image.
BTW, all this should be part of the preliminary LTTng Help that should be uploaded tomorrow.
