dtrace_kernel Privilege

The dtrace_kernel privilege permits the use of every provider except for the use of the pid and fasttrap providers on processes that are not owned by the user. This privilege also permits the use of all actions and variables except for kernel destructive actions, such as breakpoint, panic, and chill. This privilege permits complete visibility into kernel and user state. The facilities enabled by the dtrace_user privilege are a strict subset of those enabled by dtrace_kernel.

For the dtrace_kernel privilege, you can use the following actions and variables:

• Providers – all, except the previously specified restrictions

• Actions – all, except the previously specified destructive actions

• Variables – All

• Address Spaces – User

Note:

Not all functionalities of DTrace are available when you are running DTrace in a non-global zone. For more information, see Running DTrace in a Non-Global Zone in Creating and Using Oracle Solaris Zones.
