Hi, lttng-sessiond is launched in step 1 (with adequate delay before my daemon).
The versions of LTTng are from poky/sumo: * lttng-modules 2.10.9 * lttng-tools 2.9.11 * lttng-ust 2.10.3 Unfortunately, the destroy session call that clears my logs is very likely tied to the systemd service file and the changing of user ID, so reproducing is not so simple. I will have to get back to you on whether or not I can easily make a reproduceable example.

I would tend to agree with you here. Would you be able to provide a small reproducer for this? What is the version of lttng-* -- Jonathan Rajotte-Julien EfficiOS _______________________________________________ lttng-dev mailing list lttng-dev@lists.lttng.org https://lists.lttng.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lttng-dev
