- From the Correlation IDs list, select one or more entries that you want to view, and then click Display Selected IDs. (To select multiple items, hold down the CTRL key as you click each item.)
MCS contacts each computer that is associated with the selected Correlation ID, and obtains the trace data stored on that computer. A list of trace events associated with the selected Correlation ID(s) appears.
- To limit the list of Correlation IDs to one or more specific components (products), select or clear items in the product tree in the lower-left corner of the page.
- Click Apply to refresh the Correlation IDs list based on the selections you have made.
- Click an item in the list to view additional details about that item.
Details about the selected Correlation ID appear in the Trace Message and/or Trace Raw Data fields, below the event list.
- To display the trace raw data in a more readable format, select Display renderers.
The rendered data replaces the raw data (byte stream) displayed in the Trace Raw Data field.
If a product provides multiple renderers, click Select renderer to select a different renderer from those provided.
- To view the contents of another trace file, click View Other Files.
Select a saved trace file or a currently active trace and then click OK to view the contents of that file, or click Cancel to return to the current trace.
