 Each of these commands has various options for configuration,​ such as setting tracer periods, runtimes, thresholds, scheduling parameters, trace events and triggers, and more. These commands offer different ways to analyze and understand the real-time properties and noise sources in the Linux operating system. Each of these commands has various options for configuration,​ such as setting tracer periods, runtimes, thresholds, scheduling parameters, trace events and triggers, and more.
