Activity Traces
 
Understanding the BrokerTraceEvent
Obtaining Activity Traces
Each Broker maintains its own set of activity traces. Activity traces require very little overhead and will not degrade the performance of your system. However, activity traces can be lost if the Broker is very busy or if your client does not retrieve them quickly enough.
A BrokerTraceEvent is created by a Broker whenever one of the following occurs:
*A Broker client or remote Broker is created or destroyed.
*A Broker client or remote Broker publishes or delivers an event.
*A Broker client or remote Broker retrieves an event from its event queue.
*A Broker adds an event to a client's or remote Broker's event queue.
*An event was dropped from a Broker client's queue because the client did not have permission to receive the event.
