Abstract
One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for selective server-side tracing of user requests that match tracing criteria. For example, internal server processing data and/or a server-side perspective of web traffic data associated with a server processing a user request may be generated server-side as tracing data. The tracing data may be utilized in troubleshooting issues that may arise between a client machine and the server (e.g., error in uploading a photo to a website hosted by the server). Because a web-based resource (e.g., website) may be hosted by a large number of servers configured to process numerous user requests over time, an overwhelming amount of tracing data may be produced in the absence of weeding out requests for which tracing data is not needed. Thus, utilizing tracing criteria to selectively trace particular user requests promotes efficient troubleshooting.
