dbus-monitor

dbus-monitor(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   dbus-monitor(1)

NAME

       dbus-monitor - debug probe to print message bus messages

SYNOPSIS

       dbus-monitor [--system | --session | --address ADDRESS] [--profile | --monitor] [watch expressions]

DESCRIPTION

       The  dbus-monitor command is used to monitor messages going through a D-Bus message bus.  See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for
       more information about the big picture.

       There are two well-known message buses: the systemwide message bus (installed  on  many	systems  as  the  "messagebus"	service)  and  the
       per-user-login-session  message	bus (started each time a user logs in).  The --system and --session options direct dbus-monitor to monitor
       the system or session buses respectively.  If neither is specified, dbus-monitor monitors the session bus.

       dbus-monitor has two different output modes, the 'classic'-style monitoring mode and profiling mode. The profiling format is a compact for-
       mat  with a single line per message and microsecond-resolution timing information. The --profile and --monitor options select the profiling
       and monitoring output format respectively. If neither is specified, dbus-monitor uses the monitoring output format.

       In order to get dbus-monitor to see the messages you are interested in, you should specify a set of watch expressions as you  would  expect
       to be passed to the dbus_bus_add_match function.

       The message bus configuration may keep dbus-monitor from seeing all messages, especially if you run the monitor as a non-root user.

OPTIONS

       --system
	      Monitor the system message bus.

       --session
	      Monitor the session message bus.	(This is the default.)

       --address ADDRESS
	      Monitor an arbitrary message bus given at ADDRESS.

       --profile
	      Use the profiling output format.

       --monitor
	      Use the monitoring output format.  (This is the default.)

EXAMPLE

       Here is an example of using dbus-monitor to watch for the gnome typing monitor to say things

	 dbus-monitor "type='signal',sender='org.gnome.TypingMonitor',interface='org.gnome.TypingMonitor'"

AUTHOR

       dbus-monitor was written by Philip Blundell.  The profiling output mode was added by Olli Salli.

BUGS

       Please send bug reports to the D-Bus mailing list or bug tracker, see http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/
