Various options are available for controlling the output of the trace-cfg.xml, and for reading the output when using the binary trace facility.
Using the -depth and read options in the BTF, you can control what information is printed, and determine what you want filtered out of trace by specifying a traceSpec.
You can use the -depth <maxDepth> option to control the types of information you want printed. To do this, add an additional argument specifying the name of a group, record, or field that you want to use as a filter. For example, to see all information immediately following the http group, you would specify<InstallRoot>/bin/trace info http –depth 1. To see information immediately below the http.request group, you would run <InstallRoot>/bin/trace info http.request –depth 1.
<InstallRoot>/bin/trace info http –depth 1To see all information immediately following the http.request group, run the following command:
<InstallRoot>/bin/trace info http.request –depth 1
<Root>/bin/trace read <logsDirectory> [<traceSpec>]
<InstallRoot>/bin/trace read. http
