Network Traces
Creating A Network Trace
A network trace is created from the screen. Select Trace Location as Network Trace when creating the trace. All trace content types, content values, scope types, and scope values are supported.
Network traces can be created at any site, and can be edited, deleted, started or stopped at any site. A network trace created at Site A, for example, could be edited at Site B and deleted at Site C.
Starting A Network Trace
A network trace is started from the screen. Network traces can be started at any site.
Running A Network Trace
All sites will attempt to run every active network trace. However, it is possible for the user to specify a scope type/value that will prevent some sites from matching the trace. For example, a network trace created at Site A specifies Peer scope, and selects the peer Peer1. Only sites that have a peer named Peer1 will be able to match the scope. DA-MPs at all sites should verify that they can match the scope type/value of each network trace. If not, then the network trace should not be run. (This trace would still count against the site's active network trace limit
DA-MPs will send all TTRs that match network traces to the local site IDIH.
Stopping A Network Trace
A network trace can be manually stopped from the screen. Network traces can be manually stopped at any site. Network traces are automatically stopped if they have reached their configured time duration.
Network traces are not automatically stopped if they hit their match count limit. The site that reached its match count limit will no longer attempt to match the trace once the match count limit is reached, but other sites will continue to attempt to match the trace. Even if all sites hit their match count limit, the network trace will not be automatically stopped; it continues to count as an active network trace until its time duration is exhausted, or until it is manually stopped.
Viewing Network Trace Status
The status of network traces can be viewed from the . The status of a network trace can be viewed from the GUI at any site, however the information that is displayed is the status of the trace at the local site. Summary status of the network trace over all sites is not available.
