+ Enable a trace event trigger to the previous **-e** *sys:event*.
+ If the *hist:* trigger is activated, the output histogram will be automatically saved to a file named *system_event_hist.txt*.
+ For example, the command:
+
+ rtla <command> <mode> -t -e osnoise:irq_noise --trigger="hist:key=desc,duration/1000:sort=desc,duration/1000:vals=hitcount"
+
+ Will automatically save the content of the histogram associated to *osnoise:irq_noise* event in *osnoise_irq_noise_hist.txt*.
+
+ For further information about event trigger see https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/trace/events.html#event-triggers.
