Description

SystemTap is an open source, dynamic tracing and probing tool for Linux. It helps developers to find and fix performance and other issues in their applications. SystemTap allows developers to instrument their code without having to change it. SystemTap works by inserting probes, which are small pieces of code, into the program which when triggered, generate data about the program's execution. This data can be used to analyze and troubleshoot the program. SystemTap is a powerful tool for finding and debugging bottlenecks and performance issues in code, and is especially useful for analyzing the behavior of large, complex software systems.
