NAME
----
lttng-disable-event - Disable LTTng recording event rules


SYNOPSIS
--------
Disable one or more recording event rules matching Linux kernel
events:

[verse]
*lttng* ['linkgenoptions:(GENERAL OPTIONS)'] *disable-event* option:--kernel
      [option:--tracepoint | option:--syscall | option:--probe | option:--function]
      (option:--all-events | 'NAME'[,'NAME']...)
      [option:--session='SESSION'] [option:--channel='CHANNEL']

Disable one or more recording event rules matching user space
tracepoint or Java/Python logging events:

[verse]
*lttng* ['linkgenoptions:(GENERAL OPTIONS)'] *disable-event*
      (option:--userspace | option:--jul | option:--log4j | option:--log4j2 |option:--python) [option:--tracepoint]
      (option:--all-events | 'NAME'[,'NAME']...)
      [option:--session='SESSION'] [option:--channel='CHANNEL']


DESCRIPTION
-----------
The `lttng disable-event` command disables one or more enabled recording
event rules previously created with the man:lttng-enable-event(1)
command which belong to:

With the option:--session='SESSION' option::
    The recording session named 'SESSION'.

Without the option:--session option::
    The current recording session (see man:lttng-concepts(7) to learn
    more about the current recording session).

With the option:--channel='CHANNEL' option::
    The channel named 'CHANNEL'.

Without the option:--channel option::
    The channel named `channel0`.
+
If there's more than one channel for the selected recording session and
domain, the `disable-event` command fails.

See man:lttng-concepts(7) to learn more about recording event rules.

As of LTTng{nbsp}{lttng_version}, the `disable-event` command can only
find recording event rules to disable by their instrumentation point
type and event name conditions. Therefore, you cannot disable recording
event rules having a specific instrumentation point log level condition,
for example.

With the option:--kernel option and no instrumentation point type
condition option, the `disable-event` command disables one or more Linux
kernel recording event rules regardless of their instrumentation point
type.

List the recording event rules of a given recording session
and/or channel with the man:lttng-list(1) command.

Without the option:--all-events option, the `disable-event` command
disables one recording event rule per 'NAME' argument. 'NAME' is the
exact event name condition pattern of the recording event rule to
disable, as listed in the output of `lttng list` (see
man:lttng-list(1)).

You may disable an enabled recording event rule regardless of the
activity (started or stopped) of its recording session (see
man:lttng-start(1) and man:lttng-stop(1)).

See the ``<<examples,EXAMPLES>>'' section below for usage examples.

    Disable recording event rules attached to the channel named
    'CHANNEL' instead of `channel0`.

option:-s 'SESSION', option:--session='SESSION'::
    Disable recording event rules in the recording session named
    'SESSION' instead of the current recording session.


Instrumentation point type condition

At most one of:

option:--function::
    Only disable recording event rules which match Linux kretprobe
    events.

+
Only available with the option:--kernel option.

option:--syscall::

    events.
+
Only available with the option:--kernel option.

option:--tracepoint::

With the option:--kernel or option:--userspace option:::
    LTTng tracepoint events.
With the option:--jul, option:--log4j, option:--log4j2, or option:--python option:::
    Logging events.
