No tracing is happening

[Calderweis]

I run the following with ollama locally but not able to get any recorded data to the frontend;

sudo ./agentsight record -c "python3 ollama_test.py"

import requests
import requests

data = {
    "model": "mistral",
    "prompt": "Tell me a joke about penguins.",
    "stream": False
}
response = requests.post("http://localhost:11434/api/generate", json=data)
print(response.json()["response"])

I have also tried running just this without any lucky either ;

sudo ./agentsight record -c "ls /tmp"

The -c is matching the comm field in the kernel, so it's 'ls' or 'python3".

Sorry for the confusion, I will fix the documents.

[Calderweis]

so what exactly would the command look like ?
I think that there might be something wrong with my server, whenever I run 'cd collector && cargo run server' I get ;

warning: `agentsight` (bin "agentsight") generated 4 warnings
    Finished `dev` profile [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.05s
     Running `target/debug/agentsight server`
error: unrecognized subcommand 'server'

Usage: agentsight <COMMAND>

For more information, try '--help'.

The main issue here is the filter value and the CLI shape.

-c/--comm matches the process comm name, not the full shell command line. So for your examples, the filters should be:

sudo ./agentsight record -c python3
python3 ollama_test.py

or

sudo ./agentsight record -c ls
ls /tmp

Also, in the current CLI there is no standalone server subcommand. The web UI comes from record directly, or from trace --server true. If you are running from source with Cargo, use -- to separate Cargo args from AgentSight args:

cd collector
cargo run -- record -c python3 --server-port 7395

or

cd collector
cargo run -- trace --ssl true --process true --comm python3 --server true --server-port 7395

If you still do not see events after switching to the real comm value, please share the exact ps -o pid,comm,args output for the target process while it is running.
