Trace component details screen
The trace component details screen is used to begin tracing a component.
Fields | Description |
Component Type | Select the type of component you want to trace from one of
the following:
|
Component Name | Once a component type has been selected, the available components for that type appear in the
Component Name field. Select the component you want to trace from this field. For example, health monitor agent has the following traceable components:
For RestService, the traceable component name is the relative URL path information for the REST
serivce. It can also be a regular expression matching multiple REST service URLs. For example, to
trace the URL “/restapi/invoke/getLocaleList” the component name should be
“/invoke/getLocaleList”. Alternatively, “/invoke/.*” can be used as
traceable component name, to trace all the REST service paths starting with
“/invoke”.
Note: If multiple trace components are configured for type RestService, such
that a rest service URL matches more than one trace components, any of the trace component may be
used to evaluate the effective tracing level.
|
Tracel Level | Select the appropriate trace level. The trace level determines
what kind of additional information is output. The trace level can
be one of the following: Timer - Additional information about the time it took to complete various events. This is useful when trying to resolve performance problems to see what parts of a particular component are taking the longest to complete. SQLDebug - Additional information about the SQL database statements that are run within the component. This is useful to find out what database statements are actually called. This information can be used to resolve performance problems or to tune your database for optimal performance. Debug - Some additional miscellaneous information about the component. This information may be useful when trying to debug why a component is not running as expected. Verbose - All available additional information about the component. This trace level outputs the additional information for all other trace levels in addition to any other miscellaneous information that may be available. Select this trace level to get the most information possible for a component. Warning: Tracing a component negatively impacts the performance of that component due to the additional information that needs to be output. It is not recommended to keep a trace on for any components for an extended period of time. |
