Short answer is no DTrace on Linux.If you're running Oracle Linux, Oracle has a partial DTrace implementation, but it's missing severalkey providers and the providers that are there do not work reliable. In a word, it's buggy and in myopinion not usable.There's also https://github.com/dtrace4linux/linux, a DTrace port to Linux on GitHub, but I found that to be generally buggy and unreliable as well, and I do not think it is being actively developed and debugged.** Re: Brendan's site. It's a wealth of information on tools and utilities for diagnosing performance problemson Linux. If you're looking to get jump-started on Linux performance tools and utilities, sit back, grab anespresso, and watch several of Brendan's videos from various technical conferences and grab the slidedecks on SlideShare. ** It is not my intention to cast aspersions on Paul Fox or any of the contributors to dtrace4linux. It'sa huge amount of work, an extremely complex software framework and as far as I know it's workthey did in their spare time. I am simply conveying my experience from about a year ago ofgrabbing the bits from GitHub, building and installing DTrace on Linux, and trying to use it.

Is this website http://www.brendangregg.com/ meant for finding out performance issues/bottlenecks on a linux server?
