MACRO eventtrace

The eventtrace command tracks events using the EventTraceFrame and is part of the Blizzard DebugTools interface. This assists addon developers in figuring out what events fire in certain circumstances. For example, what order events fire in when a player zones into a random dungeon instance or when loot drops.

• Toggles the window. This does not start capturing events again if it was previously stopped.
• start / stop
• The console command seems to have been removed. A work around is to use the lua function EventTrace:TogglePause to toggle the event logging on and off. To explicitly start or stop use the function EventTrace:SetLoggingPaused.
• mark
• Adds a (custom) message to the event trace window to help debugging.

• Events can be filtered from the session by clicking the small cross icons.

Events can also be filtered with an addon.
