- SystemTap Uncovered: Practical Tracing, Profiling, and Diagnostics for Linux Administrators presents a clear, authoritative introduction to dynamic instrumentation on Linux. It situates SystemTap within the wider observability landscape—contrasting its architecture, capabilities, and security model with alternatives like perf, ftrace, and eBPF—and explains when and why SystemTap is the right tool for diagnosing performance and reliability issues in production environments. The book moves methodically from preparation to practice: setting up kernels and environments (including containerized deployments), integrating tracing into CI and automation pipelines, and mastering SystemTap scripting fundamentals—probes, handlers, control flow, and data aggregation. Readers learn to probe both kernel and userspace, profile CPU, memory, I/O, and network subsystems, and export and correlate metrics with external monitoring platforms to uncover bottlenecks and latency sources. Designed for sustainable, production-ready observability, the book also covers creating and maintaining robust tapsets, minimizing performance impact, and enforcing script safety and security policies. It closes with a forward-looking perspective on interoperability with eBPF and DTrace, emerging research directions, and practical ways to engage with the community—making it an indispensable guide for administrators and engineers seeking deep, actionable insight into Linux systems.
