Today you can do some of that from the cmd line but it doesn’t come from the Eclipse base tool, it is from LTTng or babeltrace (those are coded in C).
e.g. you can output in text the trace with lttng (kernel UST) and babel trace (e.g. HW traces) and then pipe grep or other cmd line programs.
What we are starting is to build features like filtering, analysis, state system etc. into LTTng/babeltrace cmd line to enable fast and custom features from
the cmd line, the goal is to enable the same features in Eclipse, in the cmd line and also have the option to move some of the trace analysis from the host to the target side which will be more monitoring.
You features below will be available.
Of course some eclipse features won’t make sense at the cmd line.

Subject: Re: [linuxtools-dev] Headless TMF Experiment ?
For now, the requirements I've collected are the following:
1) filtering from command line (an easy way to create and apply a ITmfFilter)
-> applies for RCP and headless
2) defines a time range (filter out all events outside the selected time range)
-> applies for RCP and headless
3) Dump statistics and analysis results to file and/or console
4) Dump trace to text ? (perhaps it does not apply here)
