Hi,
I read an article on DTrace on Solaris. It seems wonderful. Is it
overrated by Sun or really an excellent tool?
Is there an equivalent tool for Linux?
Thanks

It's really wonderful tool.
The more you use it the more addicted to it you are :)

Equivalent - no.
Something much more simple - yes (LTT, DProbes, ...)

Though it was meant mainly to address the specific topic of that thread,
I recently posted a simple add-on to the LTT user tools that shows what
can be done with the existing Linux stuff e.g. LTT and kprobes:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=109405724500237&w=2
It basically makes LTT more amenable to the type of ad-hoc
experimentation people seem to like about DTrace.
