Description

Where is session auto load documented ? Where in /etc do we put the files ?

I see reference to /var/run to store system sessions, but no reference to /etc.

Ah, I think I get it now. The feature is documented in lttng-sessiond(8) as

-l, --load PATH
              Specify path from which to load session configurations

So basically, it is user-configurable, and we don't do any "magical auto load". By default, we don't load anything, but users can override this. Am I understanding it correctly ?

Using --load overrides the default auto load path.

The sessiond tries to load automatically session in the LTTng system wide and user directory from "sessions/auto/*". I've added a section to the man page of lttng-sessiond.8 that explains the loading session mechanism.
