Installation

Installation of the Eclipse SystemTap plugin will be done through the yum repository. Users can simply type from command-line :

'yum install systemtap-eclipse'


General Usage

All the SystemTap plugins are accessible from the C/C++ perspective, by right clicking on C/C++ source file in the editor view, or by right clicking on the corresponding binary in the package explorer view.



Features

1) Call Graph

Clicking on the 'function callgraph' will render a visual representation of the functions that were called while running the executable.


2) File IO Monitor

Click on 'File IO Monitor' will prompt the user to specify the location of a file. After this, any read/write calls to that file will be shown with the process that made the read/write call, and the time at which this happened.

This script must be stopped by the user by clicking the 'kill script' button, located within the SystemTap view.
