We can manage the trace service for a server process while the server is stopped and while it is running. We can specify which components to trace, where to send trace output, the characteristics of the trace output device, and which format to generate trace output in.

Modify the trace settings to help with diagnosing problems or tuning performance within certain applications. To manage the trace service for a server process:

1. Start the admin console.

2. Go to...

   Troubleshooting | Logs and Trace | myserver | Diagnostic Trace

3. On the Configuration tab, do not select the None option. If this option is selected, the trace data is not logged or recorded anywhere. All other handlers (including handlers registered by applications) still have an opportunity to process these traces.

4. On the Runtime tab, select either the Memory Buffer or File Trace Output option.

5. Specify the appropriate values for the configuration for either the Memory Buffer or File Trace Output option.

6. Click Apply.

7. Go to...

   Troubleshooting | Logs and Trace | myserver | Change Log Detail Levels | Additional properties | Change Log Detail Levels

8. On the Runtime tab, change the existing trace state by changing the trace spec to the desired state.

9. Click Apply.
