STAP(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual STAP(7)
stappaths - systemtap configurable file paths
This manual page was generated for systemtap 5.4. The following
section will list the main paths in systemtap that are important
to know and may be required to reference.
/usr/local/share/systemtap/tapset/
The directory for the standard probe-alias / function
tapset library, unless overridden by the SYSTEMTAP_TAPSET
environment variable or the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment
variable. These are described in the stapprobes(3stap),
probe::*(3stap), and function::*(3stap) manual pages.
/usr/local/share/systemtap/runtime/
The runtime sources, unless overridden by the
SYSTEMTAP_RUNTIME environment variable.
/usr/local/bin/staprun
The auxiliary program supervising module loading,
interaction, and unloading.
${prefix}/etc/stap-exporter
The default directory to search for *.stp files, for
exporting to HTTP.
${exec_prefix}/libexec/systemtap/stapio
The auxiliary program for module input and output handling.
/usr/include/sys/sdt.h
Location of the <sys/sdt.h> headers.
Kernel debuginfo Path: /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/
The location of kernel debugging information when packaged
into the kernel-debuginfo RPM, unless overridden by the
SYSTEMTAP_DEBUGINFO_PATH environment variable. The default
value for this variable is +:.debug:/usr/lib/debug:build.
elfutils searches vmlinux in this path and it interprets
the path as a base directory of which various
subdirectories will be searched for finding debuginfo for
the kernel, kernel modules, and user-space binaries. By
default, systemtap will also look for vmlinux in these
locations:
/boot/vmlinux-`uname -r`
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/vmlinux
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/vmlinux.debug
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/vmlinux
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/.debug/vmlinux.debug
/usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/`uname -r`/vmlinux.debug
/var/cache/abrt-di/usr/debug/lib/modules/`uname -r`/
/var/cache/abrt-di/usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/`uname -r`/vmlinux.debug
Corresponding source files are usually located under
/usr/src/debug/. Further file information on user-space
applications can be determined per-basis using rpm -ql
<package>-debuginfo. For supported user-space applications
information please visit the systemtap wiki.
With elfutils version >0.178, systemtap can automatically
download debugging information from debuginfod servers.
You can try it by setting an environment variable or two:
export DEBUGINFOD_URLS=https://debuginfod.elfutils.org/
export DEBUGINFOD_PROGRESS=1
$HOME/.systemtap
Systemtap data directory for cached systemtap files, unless
overridden by the SYSTEMTAP_DIR environment variable.
/tmp/stapXXXXXX
Temporary directory for systemtap files, including trans‐
lated C code and kernel object.
/lib/modules/VERSION/build
The location of kernel module building infrastructure.
/usr/local/share/doc/systemtap*/examples
Examples with greater detail can be found here. Each exam‐
ple comes with a .txt or .meta file explaining what the ex‐
ample, sample or demo does and how it is ordinarily run.

https://sourceware.org/systemtap/examples/
$SYSTEMTAP_DIR/ssl/server
User's server-side SSL certificate database. If SYSTEM‐
TAP_DIR is not set, the default is $HOME/.systemtap.
$SYSTEMTAP_DIR/ssl/client
User's private client-side SSL certificate database. If
SYSTEMTAP_DIR is not set, the default is $HOME/.systemtap.
${prefix}/etc/systemtap/ssl/client
Global client-side SSL certificate database.
${prefix}/etc/systemtap/staprun/
staprun's trusted signer certificate database.
${prefix}/etc/sysconfig/stap-server
stap-server service global configuration file.
${prefix}/etc/sysconfig/stap-exporter
stap-exporter service global configuration file.
${prefix}/var/run/stap-server/
stap-server service default location of status files for
running servers.
${prefix}/var/log/stap-server/log
stap-server service default log file.
