How it works
Trace provides an inside view into the inner workings of EventStream and AudienceStream. The Trace tool is critical for testing your configuration. You can use Trace to observe the details of a predefined workflow, ensure that attributes update correctly, rules are correctly applied, and that actions trigger as expected.
From the Trace interface, you can:
- Start or stop a trace
- Join an active trace
- View predefined workflows and event log details in real time
- Establish rules and view results
- Get replay code to replay, pause, or resume an event
- View a scrolling summary of actions, events, and audiences
- View the details of an event or processing step
- View snapshots of visitor profiles
EventStream and AudienceStream pass only valid Trace IDs. Invalid Trace IDs are removed from the payload.
