Yes, if you look at the options available, you can split the trace in smaller files and even limit the total size accumulated.

Hi,
It's well known that tracing can produce huge data easily.So if we keep tracing on a production system for a while(hour/day/week) ,we may get a huge CTF file. It's very inefficient to analysis a huge CTF file ,especially the interested events are in some narrow time window.Is there any way to change the situation?Can we split a huge ctf file into several small ctf file? Or can lttng produce a list of small time-sequence ctf filles just like some loggers do?
