    Solaris Dynamic Tracing: the observability revolution

    Jon Haslam
    Software Engineer, Sun Microsystems


    The talk follows the UKUUG AGM which starts at 18:15 and will be in
    Lecture theatre 2, Cruciform Building, University College London,
    Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT. Non-members are welcome.


    Dynamic Tracing (DTrace) is one of the hot new technologies in the
    next revision of Sun's Operating System, Solaris 10. DTrace provides
    the ability to generate concise answers to almost arbitrary questions
    about the behaviour of your systems, from the top of the application
    through to the bottom of the kernel. We'll take a look at the basics
    of the architecture and the D language before seeing DTrace in action
    with a demonstration of it's abilities.

    You can read more about DTrace on Jon's blog:

    If nothing else, read this one for a really neat and useful application:

    After the talk we will look for food in a nearby restaurant
    (the Spaghetti House in Goodge Street is most likely)
