dtrace running. Why?

[hokan]

I have two identical servers with identical software and almost identical configuration. One is used only as a replicate target for the other.

dtrace is always running on the main server, restarting often, but it's not running on the replication target system.

Why is dtrace running?

OK, I've got a partial answer. The source machine was running SNMP and the target machine was not. It seems that somehow turning on SNMP caused the dtrace processes to appear. The question now is: why is SNMP running dtrace?

IIRC, there are some MIBs that use it. Someone else may have a better answer though.

That makes sense. Still, I wonder what info it supplies.
