TRACE-CMD-AGENT(1)             libtracefs Manual            TRACE-CMD-AGENT(1)

NAME
       trace-cmd-agent - Run as an agent on a machine (to be controlled by
       another machine)

SYNOPSIS
       trace-cmd agent [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
       The trace-cmd(1) agent listens over a vsocket (for virtual machines) or
       a TCP port for connections to control the tracing of the machine. The
       agent will then start tracing on the local machine and pass the data to
       the controlling connection.

OPTIONS
       -N client
           Listen over TCP instead of a vsocket. Must pass in a client host
           name or IP address to allow connection to. It will only connect to
           the specified client. Note, any process on that client can control
           the agent.

               *This is a very insecure setting. Only use on a trusted network*
               *Only use if the client machine is totally trusted*

       -p port
           This option will specify the port to listen to.

       -D
           This options causes trace-cmd agent to go into a daemon mode and
           run in the background.

       -P cid
           Allow an agent to also act as a proxy server, where it can be run
           on a host and connect with a guest.  cid is the context ID (see
           vsock(7)) of the client (e.g., guest VM) it will allow to connect.

       --verbose[=level]
           Set the log level. Supported log levels are "none", "critical",
           "error", "warning", "info", "debug", "all" or their identifiers
           "0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6". Setting the log level to
           specific value enables all logs from that and all previous levels.
           The level will default to "info" if one is not specified.

               Example: enable all critical, error and warning logs

               trace-cmd listen --verbose=warning
