Trace Parser

The Trace Parser is a user interface and data analyzer built on top of the Event
Tracing for the Windows (ETW) framework and is now added to Microsoft
Dynamics AX. Now with the ETW framework, an administrator can conduct
tracing with an overhead of approximately four percent. With this low overhead
administrators can diagnose performance problems in live environments as
opposed to development environments.

The Trace Parser is built on top of Microsoft SQL Server. It enables rapid
analysis of traces to find the longest running code, longest running SQL query,
highest call count and other metrics useful in debugging a performance problem.
In addition, it provides a call tree of the code that is executed, giving the
developer insight into the code, and the power to quickly become familiar with
the flow of an unfamiliar piece of code. It also provides the ability to jump from
the searching feature to the call tree, so that the person analyzing the trace can
determine how the problematic code is called.
