Hi, I am getting an error running tcpstates

Traceback (most recent call last): File "tcpstates", line 422, in b = BPF(text=bpf_text) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/bcc/init.py", line 483, in init self._trace_autoload() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/bcc/init.py", line 1456, in _trace_autoload fn = self.load_func(func_name, BPF.TRACEPOINT) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/bcc/init.py", line 522, in load_func raise Exception("Failed to load BPF program %s: %s" % Exception: Failed to load BPF program b'tracepointsockinet_sock_set_state': Permission denied

sudo ?

[jackpgao]

it's already be root, sudo doesn't help.

Only this bcc tool has issue, or other bcc tool also has the issue? If they all have the issues, maybe this is due to some other factors, like some kind of security system on the host.

So, does anyone solve this problem?

I was able to run tcpstates.py on a few of my test environments. We'll need more information to be able to help you investigate, something like:

• kernel version (uname -a)
• what distro you're using
• whether other bcc python tools work for you
• any other steps you've tried to resolve the issue
