20.2 Tracer practical to debug application issues
The Tracer logs and displays events that occur as you use Pega Platform. Using the Tracer is resource-intensive and dramatically slows application performance. To reduce the impact of running the Tracer, open and configure the Tracer settings to capture only the required information. Pause logging until you are ready to run the application section that you want to troubleshoot.
The Tracer toolbar is located above the log display, in the upper-right corner. The toolbar consists of buttons that enable you to manage the events that it captures.
