Advanced monitoring concepts

In this article, you'll learn about downloading and uploading trace files in Monitor, events supported by Monitor, and scenarios that Monitor doesn't support.

Download and upload trace files

You can download the events listed in Supported events for offline analysis. Events can be downloaded in .json or .csv format, and you can share them with others. The .csv files can only be downloaded, not uploaded, but if you download the events in .json format, you can upload them later into Monitor for analysis. You can also attach a trace file to support service requests, which can help speed up getting the solution to your problem.

Select Upload to load a .json trace file to Monitor. This option removes any events currently displayed in the Monitor table and replaces the details with events contained in the trace file.

Supported events

Monitor supports several events for canvas apps and model-driven apps. The following table includes examples of the supported event categories and types.
