Getting started with DTrace
On my train to Leipzig I spent some time reading about Solaris' DTrace feature. Although, I'm not a developer myself (anymore), I think it is a very interesting and powerful feature.

From my own experience I can tell you that I got a very good understanding of the DTrace tool by reading the chapters "Introduction", "Aggregations", "syscall Provider" and "pid Provider" of the "Solaris Dynamic Tracing Guide" that can be found at http://docs.sun.com.

I know the tool can do far more than that, but I think reading those chapters provided me with a very good overview. It also helped me to understand some articles and blog entries that I found about DTrace via Google.

As a next step I will dig out my C programming books again to write short little programs. With those little applications I should be able to understand the power of the DTrace tool even better.
