Synopsis
Frysk technology preview
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated version of Frysk's technology preview is now available.
Description
Frysk is an execution-analysis technology implemented using native Java
and C++. It is aimed at providing developers and sysadmins with the
ability to examine and analyze multi-host, multi-process, multi-threaded
systems while they are running. Frysk allows running processes and
threads to be monitored and primitives to be locked. It also exposes
deadlocks, gathers data and debugs any given process in the system.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.5 includes an updated version of Frysk, an
execution analysis framework. Users are encouraged to find more
information and provide feedback on the technology preview at the Frysk
project web site: http://sourceware.org/frysk
NB: this technology preview release of Frysk is not supported for use in
production environments, and that Frysk interfaces and APIs are subject
to change during the technology preview phase. A fully supported release
of Frysk is planned for future releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Users interested in previewing in non-production environments should
upgrade to this new package.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
