Theory behind WCF Tracing is not an exception of classical definition of Tracing. Through Tracing an application provides information about itself. Information may vary from internal state of object to passed input parameter to method. This information should be logged, persisted or saved somewhere.
WCF Tracing can be used for the instrumentation of the WCF Service.
There are essentially four steps involved in WCF Tracing
Emitting Trace information from Service
To emit trace information WCF provides different sources. However you have choice to create trace source using TraceSource class as well. You can choose any of WCF Assembly level trace source to emit the tracing information.
WCF Assembly level Trace Sources are as below,
System.ServiceModel
System.ServiceModel.MessageLogging
System.ServiceModel.IdentityModel
System.ServiceModel.Activation
System.Runtime.Serilization
System.IO.Log
