Microsoft Systems Management Server provides tracing capabilities to track the activities and errors of its services. The log files are in plain text and can be viewed with a text editor, but SMS includes a Tracer utility to make the logs easier to understand.
The Microsoft Systems Management Server allows you to trace the actions performed by the SMS services. When tracing is enabled, each service makes log entries for actions that it performs or errors that it receives in a log file. The log files are ASCII text and can be viewed with a text editor. However, SMS includes a Tracer utility that parses these log files and presents them in a clearer, more user-friendly manner than plain text viewing.
