Trace

How it works

Trace allows you to isolate a specific test case and view a log of how it gets processed in EventStream. Trace generates a unique ID called atrace ID to use during your testing. When you send events to EventStream using the trace ID, the results are displayed in a detailed log in the Trace tool, including information about: the received event, the enriched attributes, the validated event specification, the matched event feeds, and the triggered connector actions.

Here’s how it works:

• Start a Trace
  Starting a new trace generates a unique trace ID. You add this value to the data layer of your test application as the tealium_trace_id attribute or by copying it into the Tealium Tools Trace tool for testing directly from the browser.
• Test Your Workflow
  Once your trace ID is in place, you step through the work flow you want to test. This can be a multi-step flow that goes across different screens or pages.
• View Trace Log
  Return to Trace and watch as the log of activity is processed in real-time. You can inspect the events, the enriched attributes, and the outcome of triggered connector actions.
