How to run Dtrace with a filter for Enterprise Vault (EV)

Solution

When troubleshooting intermittent issues, it is necessary to set up Dtrace to begin capturing only if certain criteria are met. The use of a filter can help to reduce the size of the Dtrace log because only relevant content will be captured.

To setup Dtrace review the Technical Article in the Related articles section below.  

The following screen capture shows a simple trigger of " restarting failed process" (Figure 1). The actual search terms will vary depending on the problem being researched.

Figure 1
 


After enabling Dtrace on the desired process, the following parameters should be set to enable a filter on the words " restarting failed process":


DT>filter
Manage trace entry filter.     (? for help)
 
DT Filter> clear both

DT Filter>include "restarting failed process"

'restarting failed process' - added to filter include strings

DT Filter>q

DT>log (enter log file name and location)
 
 
Note :clear
"DT Filter> view" command will show the default "include" and "exclude" filters in place
"DT Filter> clear both" clears both the "include" and "exclude" filters
"DT Filter> ?" lists all the commands for filtering
