DTrace is a comprehensive dynamic tracing framework. It provides a powerful infrastructure to enable administrators, developers, and service personnel to concisely answer arbitrary questions about the behavior applications at runtime. DTrace can be used to observe applications written in Java, C, C++ PHP Ruby, Python and much more.
This Hands-on Lab has something for everyone. It will including DTrace fundamentals for those that are new to it. We will learn how to use DTrace to observe scripting languages. A typical AMP stack application will be observed and optimized. For experienced DTrace users, it discusses creating user-land statically defined tracing (USDT) probes in Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE platform) release 7.0 applications. For the superadvanced, the presentation covers using the Java technology-based and C APIs for DTrace.

Hi Steve, I was debating on virtual Box machine for the lab but was worried that copying 4 GB of machine image would be very slow! I need to find a JeOS (just enough OS) image to do the lab for next time and leave the AWS image as the post lab activity
The fact that we got 6 hours of class work that we could pick and choose from was awesome. Having homework that i could go back to the hotel and work on was very nice. So far my favorite tutorial this year.
Good tutorial and powerful tool. Providing a virtual machine with all of the required software for the labs would be a nice option in the future.
Awesome Talk Angelo. Loved it. Hopefully dtrace will come to linux soon
