[verse] *lttng* ['linkgenoptions:(GENERAL OPTIONS)'] *untrack* option:--userspace [option:--session='SESSION'] option:--all (option:--vpid | option:--vgid | option:--vuid)... DESCRIPTION ----------- The `lttng untrack` command disallows one or more processes to record LTTng events based on their attributes within: With the option:--session='SESSION' option:: The recording session named 'SESSION'. Without the option:--session option:: The current recording session (see man:lttng-concepts(7) to learn more about the current recording session). See man:lttng-concepts(7) to learn more about recording sessions and recording event rules. The `untrack` command removes values from _inclusion sets_ of process attributes. See man:lttng-track(1) to learn more about inclusion sets. See the ``<>'' section below for usage examples. Inclusion set example ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A common operation is to create a recording session (see man:lttng-create(1)), remove all the entries from the Linux kernel process ID inclusion set, start recording, and then manually add PIDs while the recording session is active. Assume the maximum system PID is 7 for this example. .
