Research topic
This topic collects papers in the catalog that explicitly use LTTng or LTTng-UST for operating-system, user-space, container, cloud, or application tracing. The linked records describe the instrumentation scope, trace events, CTF or decoding pipeline, workloads, and tracing overhead only where those details are supported by the source evidence.
