Sysdig is open source, system-level exploration: capture system state and activity from a running Linux instance, then save, filter and analyze. Sysdig is scriptable in Lua and includes a command line interface and a powerful interactive UI, csysdig, that runs in your terminal. Think of sysdig as strace + tcpdump + htop + iftop + lsof + awesome sauce. With state of the art container visibility on top. To build the package for a kernel different from the running one, start the script setting the KERNEL variable as in KERNEL=2.6.38.8 ./sysdig.SlackBuild
