Strace - Swiss Army Knife to Trace, Analyze, and Debug in Real-Time

Explore the versatile capabilities of strace, a powerful tool for tracing, analyzing, and real-time debugging, in this 47-minute conference talk by Harald König from Bosch Sensortec GmbH. Discover how to leverage strace in various scenarios through live demonstrations, including collecting and analyzing file accesses to locate config files and shared libraries, obtaining comprehensive lists of executed processes with command lines and environments for complex shell scripts or build environments analysis, and gathering real-time timing information for process execution, file accesses, and network traffic to replicate load and access patterns from real-world testing and measurements.
