Overview
The XVM Trace Collector receives trace messages from discovered XVMs and writes them as point data into the backing time series database (Influx). Collected trace records can then be viewed using the Trace Log Panel when placed in a dashboard.For more information on tracing in X Platform applications, see Working with Logging and com.neeve.trace package.
XVM Trace Collector Data Format
For more information on the point data format that Lumino collectors output, see Lumino Agent Stats Collectors intro section.
The XVM Trace Collector writes data with the lumino_trace_rp retention policy. For more information on Lumino data retention policies see Influx and Data retention policies.
