Abstract
Bpftrace is a relatively new eBPF-based open source tracer for modern Linux versions (kernels 5.x.y) that is useful for analyzing production performance problems and troubleshooting software. Basic usage of the tool, as well as bpftrace one liners and advanced scripts useful for MariaDB DBAs are presented. Problems of MariaDB Server dynamic tracing with bpftrace and some possible solutions and alternative tracing tools are discussed.
