DTrace4Linux is an attempt (from UK developer Paul Fox, also known for his CRiSP editor) to bring the power of DTrace to Linux. It’s a kernel module (No kernel recompilation required! Yay!) and userland tools.

I did a bit of hacking around with Vagrant and Puppet and VirtualBox to make it dead easy to try.

• An OVA file for Ubuntu with DTrace4Linux kernel module already built and installed. Import the OVA into VirtualBox et al, boot it up, and try something like sudo dtrace -l
• A .vmwarem vm that should be importable into VMware Player
• Pull request with Vagrantfile — for Vagrant
