AIX - Trace Based Commands

AIX - Trace Based Commands

An Event Based Trace Facility collects information about events that occur on the system such as scheduling dispatches, interrupts, and I/O. Trace points are inserted in the kernel code to record the events to a trace buffer. User level tools are provided to view the trace events in a time sequenced fashion. The events can be analyzed to gain a better understanding of the dynamics of the system.
