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 configurationsSo 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.
