dtrace update

Hi,

Today, I updated my servers (2 servers).

When updating dtrace, on one server I got a message about restarting a service and I don't see that error on other server.

So, I checked the installation and see that dtrace installation was not good, so following the documentation here : https://docs.oracle.com/en/operating-systems/oracle-linux/dtrace-v2-guide/install_dtrace.html#install_dtrace_oracle_linux_8

sudo dnf install -y dtrace
ls -lah /usr/sbin/dtrace
dtrace -V

and all seems to be ok, but on the other server :

ls -lah /usr/sbin/dtrace : OK

dtrace -V : option -V not exist.

Questions :

Must I reinstall dtrace (yes : howto)

What is the impact of dtrace if not installed or bad running on production server ?
