DTrace is closer to something like LTTng than to strace, though.



dtrace is an "everything tracer", so it's a superset of strace… and a ton of other stuff.


In other words, you can whip up strace in a few lines with DTrace.


DTrace comes with a syscall tracer called 'dtruss'.

One serious problem - it has to run as root.


sounds kinda like SystemTap?


SystemTap is dtrace for linux, at least in intent (implementation and details differ)
