Tracer

This tracer shows the SOAP messages, their respective SOAP message requests and responses when the services are deployed on the server, and the invoked operations. Make sure that the messages are monitored by turning the SOAP Tracer on. By default, it is switched off. You can switch it on by selecting ON in the list.

Warning:Turning this on will have a performance hit, since all SOAP messages will be always completely built (i.e., deferred building will not be done) and stored in the database by WSO2 Data Services Server. Hence this option should be used with caution.

The tracer will only show the messages of the operations that were invoked after switching on the SOAP tracing.

By using this SOAP tracer, it is possible to see the SOAP messages with their time-stamps, service name, operation invoked and the number of requests to the server. The most recent SOAP messages are listed on the top. When a particular SOAP message is selected, its Request and the Response can be viewed in collapsible/expandable text boxes.

Note: This tracer does not apply to operations invoked in the admin services, as they are filtered out.
