Dynamic Probes (dprobes) is a tool that can be used to insert software probes, dynamically into executing code modules. Linux Trace Toolkit (ltt) is a suite of tools designed to extract program execution details from the Linux operating system and interpret them. dprobes can augment standard LTT tracing by logging events when a probe fires. The question often comes up "How do we configure them to work together?" and often times the answer required fixing up patches that didn't work together that nicely.
To address this we've written a paper on configuring SLES-7 with dprobes and LTT (with pointers to patches that work together).
