Eclipse Trace Compass is an open source application to solve performance and reliability issues by reading and analyzing traces and logs of a system. Its goal is to provide views, graphs, metrics, and more to help extract useful information from traces, in a way that is more user-friendly and informative than text dumps.

Trace Compass 1.0 was released in 2015[1][2]. It's predecessors were LTTng viewer and LTTv.

It can read the following trace formats:

Deployment

Trace Compass is available as a stand alone application, a plug-in that integrates into the Eclipse IDE, or as a Theia plug-in which is deployed in the CDT.Cloud project.

The toolchain has been used in academia[3][4][5][6] as well as the industry. It is used in the Linux community for kernel development[7]. Trace Compass has been integrated into Mentor Graphics, Renesas, Xilinx, Intel[8][9], AMD, Uber[10] and Wind River Systems troubleshooting solutions.
