Add Tracking Profile Dialog Box

Use the Add Tracking Profile dialog box to add a custom tracking profile to the configuration for a service. A custom tracking profile is used when configuring custom monitoring capabilities that are specific to a workflow service and are not met by the standard monitoring levels.

Dialog Fields

Field	Description
File name	Specify the file name of the tracking profile file (*.tp). Click on Browse to move through the file system and select the tracking profile file.
Profile name	You can use the logical name of Profile name as it is defined in the configuration file. Or you can override that value and assign it another logical name
Set as current active tracking profile	Determines if this tracking profile should be used as the active tracking profile for this service.
Overwrite profile if it already exists	Overwrites an existing tracking profile

Once the custom tracking profile has been added you will see a new <trackingProfile> entry in the Web.config file for that profile. The tracking profile will also appear in the Tracking profile drop down in the Workflow Tracking Profile dialog box.

   <etwTracking profileName="MyCustomTrackingProfile" />
