| # bcc snap |
| |
| This is an unconfined snap of the BPF Compiler Collection (BCC), a toolkit for |
| creating efficient kernel tracing and manipulation programs. |
| |
| First, install snapcraft, e.g. on Ubuntu: |
| |
| sudo snap install snapcraft --classic |
| |
| Clone the bcc repo (if you haven't done so already) and create the snap: |
| |
| git clone https://github.com/iovisor/bcc.git |
| snapcraft |
| |
| Install the snap by running (`--dangerous` is required as the snap is |
| not coming from the Snap Store): |
| |
| sudo snap install --dangerous bcc_*.snap |
| |
| One may need to ensure the snap interfaces are connected for the snap |
| using: |
| |
| sudo snap connect bcc:mount-observe |
| sudo snap connect bcc:system-observe |
| sudo snap connect bcc:system-trace |
| |
| Now run a bcc tool, for example, to run opensnoop use: |
| |
| sudo bcc.opensnoop |
| |
| Note that this may fail to build and run if you do not have the kernel |
| headers installed or perhaps the kernel config is not set up correctly. |
| |
| This snap has been tested using the mainly 4.8 and 4.9 kernels built |
| with the Ubuntu Yakkety and Zesty kernel configs as well as the default |
| Ubuntu 4.8 Yakkey and 4.9 Zesty kernels. |
