NAME
----
lttng-list - List LTTng recording sessions and instrumentation points


SYNOPSIS
--------
List the recording sessions:

[verse]
*lttng* ['linkgenoptions:(GENERAL OPTIONS)'] *list*

List the tracing domains of a recording session with at least one
channel:

[verse]
*lttng* ['linkgenoptions:(GENERAL OPTIONS)'] *list* option:--domain 'SESSION'

List the channels and recording event rules of a recording session:

[verse]
*lttng* ['linkgenoptions:(GENERAL OPTIONS)'] *list* [option:--channel='CHANNEL'] 'SESSION'
      [option:--kernel] [option:--userspace] [option:--jul] [option:--log4j] [option:--python]

List the available LTTng tracepoints, Linux system calls, and/or
Java/Python loggers:

[verse]
*lttng* ['linkgenoptions:(GENERAL OPTIONS)'] *list* [option:--fields]
      [option:--kernel [option:--syscall]] [option:--userspace] [option:--jul] [option:--log4j] [option:--python]


DESCRIPTION
-----------
The `lttng list` command lists:

Without arguments::
    The recording sessions of your Unix user, or of all users
    if your Unix user is `root`, within the connected session daemon.
+
See the ``Session daemon connection'' section of man:lttng(1) to learn
how a user application connects to a session daemon.
+
The command shows recording session properties such as their output
directories/URLs and whether or not they're active.

With the 'SESSION' argument::
    With the option:--domain option:::
        The tracing domains (with at least one channel) of the recording
        session named 'SESSION'.

    Without the option:--domain option:::
        With the option:--channel='CHANNEL' option::::
            The recording event rules of the channel 'CHANNEL' of the
            recording session named 'SESSION'.

        Without the option:--channel option::::
            The channels of the recording session named 'SESSION' and
            their recording event rules.
+
Use the dedicated tracing domain options (option:--kernel,
option:--userspace, option:--jul, option:--log4j, and option:--python)
to only show specific channels.

Without the 'SESSION' argument and with at least one dedicated tracing domain option::
+
--
With the option:--kernel option::
    Without the option:--syscall option:::
        The available LTTng kernel tracepoints.
    With the option:--syscall option:::
        The available, instrumented Linux system calls.
With the option:--userspace option::
    The available LTTng user space tracepoints.
With the option:--jul, option:--log4j, and/or option:--python options::
    The available `java.util.logging`, Apache log4j, and/or Python
    logger names.
--
+
Also list the available instrumentation point fields with the
option:--fields option.

See man:lttng-concept(7) to learn more about recording sessions, tracing
domains, channels, recording event rules, and instrumentation points.

See the ``<<examples,EXAMPLES>>'' section below for usage examples.

List the channels and recording event rules of the current recording
session (see man:lttng-concept(7) to learn more) with the
man:lttng-status(1) command.
