Last updated
bpftrace is eBPF tracing with file scripts. Your one liners live as files in folders you pick. The install ships example tools beside binaries.
Same scripts mean same probes on matching kernels. Exact probe points shift with kernel releases. Keep scripts in version control rather than cloning whole folders. For moves, copy script trees. Map files travel with the scripts they read. Screenshots of settings help when support asks for reproduction steps later. Check the in app storage readout when sizes look wrong on different releases.
Where bpftrace Tools stores this, by platform
~/bpftrace (scripts per folder, tools beside install)
Scripts live as files in folders you pick. Tool examples ship beside the install. Copy script trees for moves. Match kernel families for probes.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move bpftrace scripts to a new machine?
Copy the bpftrace script folders to the new machine over USB, since one liners live as files you wrote. Tools ship examples beside the install. Match the kernel release family first, since probe points shift between versions.
Does bpftrace sync online?
No. bpftrace runs tracing from your script files without a central database. The computer holds scripts plus tool cache. Targets trace at runtime only. Back up the script folders themselves for moves across kernels.
