Using python is quite reasonable with the babeltrace bindings. You can also use
the TraceCompass Data Driven Analysis [1]. Not sure if your use case is
completely covered, people from TraceCompass mighthave more information
regarding this.

Was there any other error message?

What is the complete command used for lttng-analyses?

Could you share the trace/metadata?
