Dump sandesh trace buffer from core file

The python module that is used to dump the sandesh trace buffers from the core file -> sandesh_trace_dump.py

print_trace_buffer_list()

  • dumps the trace buffer list created by the daemon

print_trace_buffer('#trace buffer name#')

  • dumps the content of the specified trace buffer

Before running gdb, please do the following steps

python

import sys

sys.path.insert(0, <path of python pretty-printers package>)

from libstdcxx.v6.printers import register_libstdcxx_printers

register_libstdcxx_printers (None)

end

Now, you are all set for trace mining

Example:

bash-4.2$ gdb vnswad -core core.23531
