Tracing the activity of software applications can significantly enhance an administrator's ability to fine-tune a system's performance. The software tracing feature supports the use of macros and a preprocessor to scan code, generate message identification numbers, and create file definitions. Software tracing provides the following:
Drivers, kernel components, services, applications, and other components can define trace events and globally unique identifiers (GUIDs).
Components are able to use multiple-event class definition.
Components are independently enabled and disabled.
Components can be grouped at a higher level.
Event information is retained in binary form.
Trace trial activity is postprocessed for later examination.
A failed in-memory trace is dumped by a debugger extension.
In the event of a system dump, a kernel debugger extension displays the trace elements that remain in memory. Software tracing is invoked by Start 
Control Panel Performance and Maintenance Administrative Tools Performance Performance Logs and Alerts Trace Logs.
