Hey folks!

<slowfranklin>
Do you think it's good idea to run programs over long period of time under Systemtap?
<slowfranklin>
Where the Systemtap script executed just probes some dwarf userland probes and collect stats?
<slowfranklin>
Like in collecting performance or other metrics.

slowfranklin, that should not be a problem;
<slowfranklin>
Sounds good. :)
<fche>
just note that stap's self-protection measures (quit if too many errors / skipped probes / overhead) may kick in
<fche>
so you might want to put it into a shell script loop, or perhaps use stap --suppress-handler-errors --suppress-time-limits etc., though those are privileged
<slowfranklin>
hm.... now I'm somewhat scared...
<slowfranklin>
But thanks!

well, nothing to be scared of there - it's stap looking after its own health and that of the system
