Hi,

I'm looking from some example of implimenting tracing via EIF across the
tiers of an application. I've implimented tracing on a single component, but
it's not clear to me (in the MS documentation) how I need to impliment my
trace events across the components/tiers so I can correlate all of the trace
requests for a given user request in the trace logs.

I've also seen some posts that indicate that it's best practice to manage
the trace log files; if the get too large it's difficult or not possible to

Ken,

I dont know if we have a sample of this. I've certainly seen on at one
stage.
I'll ask around and see if I can find anything for you.
You'd want to look at the RequestTracing sample but pretend that within the
using() it calls across to the other layers. In these layers they'd be
outputing their own events (error, trace, etc).

A trace log file will be created on each machine - as you say, you'll need
to manage getting these log files into one location.
I'd then recommend that you upload them into a DB for easy sorting and
querying.
Typically such a DB structure has most

Mike,

I'll look over the RequestTracing sample. If you do come across something,
please forward it on.

Ken
