-Events can be disabled while tracing is active
-(use man:lttng-start(1) to make a tracing session active).
+As of LTTng{nbsp}{lttng_version}, the `disable-event` command can only
+find recording event rules to disable by their instrumentation point
+type and event name conditions. Therefore, you cannot disable recording
+event rules having a specific instrumentation point log level condition,
+for example.
+
+List the recording event rules of a given tracing session
+and/or channel with the man:lttng-list(1) command.
+
+Without the option:--all-events option, the `disable-event` command
+disables one recording event rule per 'NAME' argument. 'NAME' is the
+exact event name condition pattern of the recording event rule to
+disable, as listed in the output of `lttng list` (see
+man:lttng-list(1)).
+
+You may disable an enabled recording event rule regardless of the
+activity (started or stopped) of its tracing session (see
+man:lttng-start(1) and man:lttng-stop(1)).
