+NOTE: The LTTng project recommends that you start the session daemon at
+boot time for stable and long-term tracing.
+
+
+[[cfg]]
+Daemon configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+When you run `lttng-sessiond`, it configures itself from, in this order:
+
+. The INI configuration file +{system_lttng_conf}+, if any.
+
+. The INI configuration file `$LTTNG_HOME/.lttng/lttng.conf`, if any.
++
+`$LTTNG_HOME` defaults to `$HOME`.
+
+. With the option:--config='PATH' option: the INI configuration file
+ 'PATH'.
+
+. The command-line options.
+
+Each step can override a previous configuration property.
+
+In INI configuration files, the session daemon only reads the properties
+under the `sessiond` INI section. Each INI property is:
+
+Key::
+ The long name of a command-line option to set (see the
+ <<options,OPTIONS>> section below).
+
+Value::
+ The selected command-line option accepts an argument:::
+ Option argument (string).
+
+ The selected command-line option is a switch:::
+ `true`::::
+ `yes`::::
+ `on`::::
+ Enable the option.
+
+ `false`::::
+ `no`::::
+ `off`::::
+ Disable the option.
+
+INI configuration file example:
+
+[source,ini]
+----
+[sessiond]
+daemonize=yes
+extra-kmod-probes=my-driver,other-module

+[[load]]
+Tracing session configuration loading
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+When the session daemon starts, it loads tracing session configurations
+from:
+
+Without the option:--load option::
+ In this order:
++
+--
+. All the files in `$LTTNG_HOME/.lttng/sessions/auto`.
++
+`$LTTNG_HOME` defaults to `$HOME`.
+
+. All the files in +{system_sessions_auto_dir}+.
+--
++
+`lttng-sessiond` only loads tracing configuration files from the
+directories above if its UID and their UID are the same.
+
+With the option:--load='PATH' option::
+ 'PATH' is a directory:::
+ All the files in 'PATH'.
+
+ 'PATH' is a file:::
+ The file 'PATH'.
