What Do I Do If I Cannot Query Traces?

Issue Description

Traces cannot be queried on the CTS console.

Procedure

  1. Check whether you have configured a proper query time range.

  2. Check whether you have configured filters correctly. You can combine one or more filters.

    • Trace Name: Enter a trace name.
    • Trace ID: Enter a trace ID.
    • Resource Name: Enter a resource name. If the cloud resource involved in the trace does not have a resource name or the corresponding API operation does not involve the resource name parameter, leave this field empty.
    • Resource ID: Enter a resource ID. Leave this field empty if the resource has no resource ID or if resource creation failed.
    • Trace Source: Select a cloud service name from the drop-down list.
    • Resource Type: Select a resource type from the drop-down list.
    • Operator: Select one or more operators from the drop-down list.
    • Trace Status: Select normal, warning, or incident.
      • normal: The operation succeeded.
      • warning: The operation failed.
      • incident: The operation caused a fault that is more serious than the operation failure, for example, causing other faults.
    • Enterprise Project ID: Enter an enterprise project ID.
    • Access Key: Enter a temporary or permanent access key ID.

  3. For services that do not differentiate by region, such as IAM, enable CTS and create the system tracker in the central region (CN-Hong Kong). This ensures that traces from other regions are reported. To receive SMS or email notifications for IAM operations, notification rules must also be configured in the central region.
  4. If you still cannot query traces after the preceding steps, submit a service ticket for technical support.
