KernelShark is an Open Source User interface for Ftrace data. The work on the original GUI was started in 2009 by Steven Rostedt. Two years ago we initiated a complete rewrite, aiming to make The Shark faster and stronger and to allow it to dive much deeper. Finally KernelShark 1.0 has been released. It is a fully functional tool that is much more featureful than its predecessor, but this was just a preparation of the game field and no revolutionary changes have been made visible for the users so far.All this is about to change. Most of the new key features, that motivated the rewrite, are now ready to be demoed. This includes: merging and visualizing together data from Host and Guest VMs. Abstracted data input allowing to combine data from different tracers. Automated analysis of this data via scripts. Powerful infrastructure for plugins that provides great degree of user customization.Come to this talk to see this new beast in action.
