This article explores the development of a methodology for analyzing system calls in the Linux operating system using the strace tool to improve the efficiency of software diagnostics and optimization. Particular attention is paid to the systematization of tracing methods and the practical aspects of identifying performance issues at the level of application interaction with the operating system kernel. The goal of the study is to develop a comprehensive methodological approach to system call analysis that ensures effective diagnostics and optimization of industrial information systems. The paper utilizes a classification of tracing techniques, including the basic strace-controlled application launch mode and attachment to running processes via the ptrace mechanism, as well as methods for quantitative analysis of system call metrics and structured troubleshooting. The study resulted in the development of a systematic approach to performance assessment through statistical aggregation, timing analysis, and the identification of inefficient kernel interaction patterns. It also describes an applied troubleshooting methodology with a detailed classification of typical error conditions and blocking operations, accompanied by structured troubleshooting recommendations. The presented methodology ensures increased efficiency of software maintenance processes in industrial information systems through a structured approach to diagnostics at the system call level.
Keywords:system calls, strace, Linux system diagnostics, troubleshooting, process tracing, performance analysis, software debugging
