16 DESCRIPTION
17 -----------
18 The `lttng metadata` command manages a tracing session's metadata
19 generation options.
20
21 As of this version, only the `regenerate` command's action is available.
22 Regenerating a tracing session's metadata can be used to
23 resample the offset between the system's monotonic clock and
24 the wall-clock time.
25
26 This command is meant to be used to resample the wall-clock time
27 following a major
28 link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Time_Protocol[NTP]
29 correction. As such, a system booting with an incorrect wall time can be
30 traced before its wall time is NTP-corrected. Regenerating the tracing
31 session's metadata ensures that trace viewers can accurately determine
32 the events time relative to Unix Epoch.

46 LIMITATIONS
47 -----------
48 The `lttng metadata regenerate` command can only be used on kernel and
49 user space tracing sessions (using per-user buffering), in non-live
50 mode.
51
52 See man:lttng-enable-channel(1) for more information about
53 buffering schemes and man:lttng-create(1) for more information
54 about the different tracing session modes.
