SSI verification ensures that Single Step Instrumentation is correctly installed and actively instrumenting Linux processes, providing confidence that the launcher and tracer are functioning as intended.
Execute Step 1 through Step 3 on a target Linux host to verify SSI end-to-end instrumentation.

To verify Single Step Instrumentation on Linux, run an end-to-end validation that checks process injection, agent telemetry, and service visibility to confirm traces are actively reporting to Datadog.
SSI validation confirms tracing is active by inspecting /proc/<pid>/maps for process injection, checking Datadog Agent status, and verifying service visibility in the Datadog service list.
Validate SSI injection during post-install validation, when onboarding new Linux hosts, or during incident troubleshooting to verify your instrumentation health and trace data flow to Datadog.
Yes, you need a Linux host where the Datadog Agent and SSI preload are already configured and actively reporting traces to perform the end-to-end instrumentation verification.
Traces may not appear if the launcher or tracer malfunctions; troubleshooting involves inspecting /proc/<pid>/maps and Datadog Agent status to verify process injection and trace reception.
