NAME

sssd-systemtap - SSSD systemtap information

DESCRIPTION

This manual page provides information about the systemtap functionality in sssd(8).

SystemTap Probe points have been added into various locations in SSSD code to assist in troubleshooting and analyzing performance related issues.

•Sample SystemTap scripts are provided in /usr/share/sssd/systemtap/

•Probes and miscellaneous functions are defined in /usr/share/systemtap/tapset/sssd.stp and /usr/share/systemtap/tapset/sssd_functions.stp respectively.

PROBE POINTS

The information below lists the probe points and arguments available in the following format:

MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS

The information below lists the probe points and arguments available in the following format:

function acct_req_desc(entry_type)

Convert entry_type to string and return string

function sssd_acct_req_probestr(fc_name, entry_type, filter_type, filter_value, extra_value)

Create probe string based on filter type

function dp_target_str(target)

Convert target to string and return string

function dp_method_str(target)

Convert method to string and return string

SAMPLE SYSTEMTAP SCRIPTS

Start the SystemTap script (stap /usr/share/sssd/systemtap/<script_name>.stp), then perform an identity operation and the script will collect information from probes.

Provided SystemTap scripts are:

dp_request.stp

Monitoring of data provider request performance.

id_perf.stp

Monitoring of id command performance.

ldap_perf.stp

Monitoring of LDAP queries.

nested_group_perf.stp

Performance of nested groups resolving.
