Description

DTrace is a comprehensive dynamic tracing framework developed by Sun Microsystems and released as free and open source software. It provides a powerful and flexible way to analyze the behavior of applications, the kernel, and user-level processes running on a system. DTrace enables administrators, developers, and service personnel to gain insight into the behavior of production systems in real time. It can be used to investigate performance issues, debug software, and diagnose system problems. DTrace can also be used to identify and profile application bottlenecks and find the root causes of system and application problems. It is a powerful tool for understanding how an application or system behaves in production or in a test environment.
