Reviewing the trace list for a selection
A trace is a single interactions between the client system and the server system. In a web application, the interaction is between the browser and the server.
A trace is recorded if it is considered relevant according to the configuration thresholds of the BMC Application Diagnostics Agents. For details about modifying threshold settings, see Modifying-an-agent-policy-file.
The list of traces includes one of the following:
- Traces of a selected business transaction or request
- Traces of business transactions and requests from a selected application server
Depending on how you opened the Traces window, some information is displayed in the header and some information is displayed in the table. By default, traces are displayed in descending order, according to the latency value.
To filter the list of traces
You can filter the list the same way you did when filtering the list of business transactions.

The following table describes the diagnostics data in the Traces window.
The collected data and metrics are recalculated and updated every five minutes.
