FAQ

No Output After Running kyanos watch

Check if you see a log like this when starting Kyanos:

find btf file exactly failed, try to find a lower version btf file...

If so, this might be due to a missing BTF file on your system. You can manually download the BTF file matching your kernel version from this link or this link, and then specify the downloaded BTF file using the --btf option when starting Kyanos.
