Topic

Updated latencytop packages that fix one bug and add one enhancement are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

LatencyTOP is a tool to monitor system latencies.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • When running LatencyTOP as a normal user, LatencyTOP attempted and failed to

mount the debug file system. A misleading error message was displayed,
suggesting that kernel-debug be installed even though this was already the
running kernel. LatencyTOP has been improved to exit and display "Permission
denied" when run as a normal user. In addition, fsync view has been removed from
the "latencytop" package because it depended on a non-standard kernel tracer
that was never present in Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernels or upstream kernels.
As a result, LatencyTOP no longer attempts to mount the debugfs file system.
(BZ#633698)

This update also adds the following enhancement:

  • The "latencytop" package requires GTK libraries. Having GTK libraries

installed on servers may be undesirable. A build of LatencyTOP without
dependencies on GTK libraries is now available under the package name
"latencytop-tui". (BZ#726476)

Users are advised to upgrade to these updated latencytop packages, which fix
this bug and add this enhancement.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
