NAME
----
lttng-untrack - Remove one or more entries from an LTTng resource tracker


SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
*lttng* ['linkgenoptions:(GENERAL OPTIONS)'] *untrack* (option:--kernel | option:--userspace)
      [option:--session='SESSION'] (option:--pid='PID'[,'PID']... | option:--all option:--pid)


DESCRIPTION
-----------
The `lttng untrack` commands removes one or more entries from a
resource tracker.

See man:lttng-track(1) to learn more about LTTng trackers.

The untrack command removes specific resources from a tracker. The
resources to remove must have been precedently added by
man:lttng-track(1). It is also possible to remove all the
resources from the whitelist using the option:--all option.

As of this version, the only available tracker is the PID tracker.


Example
~~~~~~~
One common operation is to create a tracing session
(see man:lttng-create(1)), remove all the entries from the PID
tracker whitelist, start tracing, and then manually track PIDs
while tracing is active.

Assume the maximum system PID is 7 for this example.

Command:

[role="term"]
------------
lttng create
------------

Initial whitelist:

-------------------------------
[0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
-------------------------------

Command:

[role="term"]
-------------------------------------
lttng untrack --userspace --pid --all
-------------------------------------

Whitelist:

-------------------------------
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
-------------------------------

Commands:

[role="term"]
----------------------------------
lttng enable-event --userspace ...
lttng start
# ...
lttng track --userspace --pid=3,5
----------------------------------

Whitelist:

-------------------------------
[ ] [ ] [ ] [3] [ ] [5] [ ] [ ]
-------------------------------

Command:

[role="term"]
-------------------------------
lttng track --userspace --pid=2
-------------------------------

Whitelist:
