Reviewing the diagnostics data for a trace


The Trace Details window contains the following sections:

  1. Trace details in the header
  2. Trace details in tabbed views — Application Flow (default) and Code Level

Click an instance in the Traces window to examine data for that instance in the Trace Details window.

Header section details

Trace details in tabbed views

Under the header section, you can select a tab to view diagnostics data:

  • Application Flow: (Default tab) Displays the diagnostics data of the trace in map of requests between logical components
  • Code Level: Displays the code of the trace

Viewing comparable traces

You can view traces that are similar to the one on the Trace Details window. You might find this useful when you open BMC Application Diagnostics from another application, such as from a component of BMC Real End User Experience Monitoring.

From the Actions menu, select Comparable Traces. The Traces window displays a list of traces with the same name, that occurred five minutes before or after the referenced trace.
