The tracker man page

2 lines have to be added to an agent in order for it to be tracked:

source "AgentTrack.tcl"
track

The track procedure should be called after agent_begin was issued.
Track used by itself makes a normal tracking run.
Add option -localTracking to do local tracking if needed.
The argument to the option should be a name that this session will have. The session is the set of actions of this agent and all its descendants.
See an example of this example.tcl

Command line options

-record <filename>
Set the file to which the session being tracked is written. Default is trackRecord.log
-read <filename>
This will make the tracker read from the specified file, and run the session recorded in there. It will not listen for reporting agents.
-session <filename> | new
This will start the tracker in local session reading mode. See local tracking. If a filename is specified the tracker will read the local session from that file. If new is given, the tracker will start up to gather a new locally tracked session.

In the absence of any options, the tracker listens for agents reporting and writes the session to trackRecord.log

Menus

File

Quit is fairly clear.
If a recorded session is being played back, there will be a "Start run" option to start playing the run at the user's discretion.
If a new locally tracked session is being gathered, there will be a "Query hosts" option to start the process of gathering the local session data. See local tracking.

Views

This has a choice of available views. The agents selected in the listbox below will be opened in a view you choose here. If no agents are selected, no views are opened.

Help

Funny enough this has the error log.

The buttons

"Real Time"
If this is set, events will be displayed in all open views as soon as they arrive. If not set, the video buttons only cause the tracker to show events.
"Stop"
Unsets real time.
|< and >|
One event backwards or forwards.
|<< and >>|
All the way to the start or end.

The rest of the window

The timing indicators show how many events have taken place so far, and what time the last event was.
The progress indicator shows how far into the session, in terms of events, the tracker has advanced.

The two listboxes show which agents and machines we are following right now.
