To send a copy of all transmitted signaling packets for activated trace sessions to the configured R-TCE (3GPP
TCE - Trace Collection Entity)
To send trace activation/deactivation failure notifications to the configured R-TCE
Following are the configuration items for the InTracer Client for 3GPP Trace:
Configuration of of global trace parameters
Configuration of TCE profiles (R-TCE configuration)
Management-based Activation / Deactivation of Trace sessions

R-InTracer / R-TCE
The basic functionality of the R-InTracer / R-TCE is to receive signaling packets from the gateways and process them.
It stores all the packets along with additional correlation information either received along with the packet or derived
after processing the packet.

Event Processing
The basic task of the R-InTracer / R-TCE is to receive signaling packets from the gateways and process them. It then
persistently stores all these packets along with additional correlation information either received along with the packet
or derived after processing the packet.
persistently stores all these packets along with additional correlation information either received along with the packet
or derived after processing the packet.
Event Storage
The R-InTracer / R-TCE stores processed packets along with other correlation information to persistent storage. The
storage period is a configurable value between 2 to 236 days, default value is 30 days.
storage period is a configurable value between 2 to 236 days, default value is 30 days.
Important:
If event information exceeds the storage period, the event information is automatically deleted by the
system even if the system has sufficient additional storage available.
