A +trigger is an association between a *condition* and one or more +*actions*. When the condition associated to a trigger is met, the +actions associated to that trigger are executed. The tracing does not +have to be active for the conditions to be met, and triggers are +independent from tracing sessions. + +By default, a trigger fires every time its condition is met. The +'--fire-every' and '--fire-once-after' options can be used to change +this mode. + +The syntax by which conditions and actions are specified is described +below. + +Conditions +~~~~~~~~~~ + +Conditions are specified with the `--condition` option, followed by a +condition name, and possibly some more arguments, depending on the +specific condition. There must be exactly one condition given in the +`lttng add-trigger` invocation. + +The available conditions are: + +Event rule: `on-event [event rule arguments]`:: + This type of condition is met when the tracer encounters an event + matching the given even rule. The arguments describing the event + rule are the same as those describing the event rules of the + man:lttng-enable-event(1) command, with these exceptions: + + - It is not possible to use filter operands that use values from + the context. + +Actions +~~~~~~~ + +Actions are specified with the `--action` option, followed by an action +name, and possibly some more arguments, depending on the specific +action. There must be at least one action given in the +`lttng add-trigger` invocation. + +The available actions are: + +Notify: *notify*:: + This action causes the LTTng session daemon to send a notification, + through its notification mechanism (see man:lttng-sessiond(8)). + Some details about the condition evaluation are sent along with the + notification. + +Start session: *start-session* session-name:: + This action causes the LTTng session daemon to start tracing for the + session with the given name. If no session with the given name exist + at the time the condition is met, nothing is done. + +Stop session: *stop-session* session-name:: + This action causes the LTTng session daemon to stop tracing for the + session with the given name. If no session with the given name exist + at the time the condition is met, nothing is done. + +Rotate session: *rotate-session* session-name:: + This action causes the LTTng session daemon to rotate the session + with the given name. See man:lttng-rotate(1) for more information + about the session rotation concept. If no session with the given + name exist at the time the condition is met, nothing is done. + +Snapshot session: *snapshot-session* session-name:: + This action causes the LTTng session daemon to take a snapshot of the + session with the given name. See man:lttng-snapshot(1) for more + information about the session snapshot concept. If no session with + the given name exist at the time the condition is met, nothing is + done. + +OPTIONS +------- + +option:--id='ID':: + Set the id of the trigger to 'ID'. If omitted, an id will + automatically be assigned to the trigger by the session daemon. ++ +If a trigger with the specified 'ID' already exists, the trigger +creation will fail. + +option:--fire-every 'N':: + Execute the trigger's actions every 'N' times the condition is met. + +option:--fire-once-after 'N':: + Execute the trigger's actions once after 'N' times the condition is + met, then never after that. + +include::common-cmd-help-options.txt[] + + +include::common-cmd-footer.txt[] + + +SEE ALSO +-------- +man:lttng-list-triggers(1), +man:lttng-remove-trigger(1), +man:lttng(1)
