lttng-clear(1)
==============
:revdate: 14 June 2021
NAME
----
lttng-clear - Clear an LTTng recording session
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
*lttng* ['linkgenoptions:(GENERAL OPTIONS)'] *clear* ['SESSION' | option:--all]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The `lttng clear` command clears one or more recording sessions, that
is, it deletes the contents of their recording buffers and of all their
local and streamed trace data.
See man:lttng-concepts(7) to learn more about recording sessions.
The `clear` command clears:
Without any option::
The current recording session.
+
See man:lttng-concepts(7) to learn more about the current recording
session.
With the 'SESSION' argument::
The recording session named 'SESSION'.
With the option:--all option::
*All* the recording sessions of the connected session daemon for
your Unix user, or for all users if your Unix user is `root`, as
listed in the output of `lttng list` (see man:lttng-list(1)).
+
See the ``Session daemon connection'' section of man:lttng(1) to learn
how a user application connects to a session daemon.
If a recording session is configured in snapshot mode (see the
nloption:--snapshot option of the man:lttng-create(1) command), the
`clear` command only clears the recording buffers.
For a given recording session, if at least one rotation occurred (see
man:lttng-concepts(7)), the `clear` command only clears its recording
buffers and its current trace chunk, :not: its archived trace chunks.
NOTE: The nloption:--disallow-clear option and the
`LTTNG_RELAYD_DISALLOW_CLEAR` environment variable of
man:lttng-relayd(8) can disable remote clearing operations. If LTTng
sends recording data over the network for the selected recording
session(s) to an LTTng relay daemon configured as such, the `clear`
command fails.
See the ``<<examples,EXAMPLES>>'' section below for usage examples.

Recording target
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
option:-a, option:--all::

recording session named 'SESSION'.
