Hi, I am curious if there is any way of getting time synchronized traces in a kind of stream based communication like pipes, sockets, etc. and get high level event representation as ?libtraceevent? provides. I would like to get all "merged" events from all machines provided by -A parameters. I think it isn't required to get them in order, but the timestamp should be synchronized. I could probably build something like that with libtracecmd to have it directly implemented in an application, but I am curious if there exists any interest in having such a feature upstream? E.g. having additional parameters like '--tsync-interval'. A use-case would be live capturing of time synchronized events or what I have in my mind to collect stats and doing kernel runtime optimizations. - Alex
