Taking things further, I wonder if using the pid is the best choice for a suffix for the non-single-process case. If we used .1, .2 etc. it would make things more predictable, perhaps easing integration for other tools. Each process starting up would use the lowest free suffix, and any external monitoring tools could just be set up to monitor the first/second/third instance, with reproducable names across process restarts. > > +Where `/run/user/` is the runtime directory for the user given by the > > +`$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` environment variable, > > +and `rte` is the default DPDK file prefix used for a runtime directory. > > + > > Telemetry Initialization > > ------------------------ > > diff --git a/lib/eal/freebsd/eal.c b/lib/eal/freebsd/eal.c > > index b06a2c1662..ed39d10b4e 100644 > > --- a/lib/eal/freebsd/eal.c > > +++ b/lib/eal/freebsd/eal.c > > @@ -952,6 +952,7 @@ rte_eal_init(int argc, char **argv) > > if (tlog < 0) > > tlog = RTE_LOGTYPE_EAL; > > if (rte_telemetry_init(rte_eal_get_runtime_dir(), > > + internal_conf->in_memory | internal_conf->no_shconf, > > rte_version(), > > &internal_conf->ctrl_cpuset, rte_log, tlog) != 0) > > return -1; > > diff --git a/lib/eal/linux/eal.c b/lib/eal/linux/eal.c > > index 0d0fc66668..9db4eb7913 100644 > > --- a/lib/eal/linux/eal.c > > +++ b/lib/eal/linux/eal.c > > @@ -1326,6 +1326,7 @@ rte_eal_init(int argc, char **argv) > > if (tlog < 0) > > tlog = RTE_LOGTYPE_EAL; > > if (rte_telemetry_init(rte_eal_get_runtime_dir(), > > + internal_conf->in_memory | internal_conf->no_shconf, > > should be logical OR > I don't think it actually matters since any non-zero value will come through as "true".
