    I guess it is possible, but you're quite limited by the fact that you don't control production environments in cloud. You can't change configuration files, collect local trace files and things like that.

    Note that Microsoft uses EventSource classes to log events (e.g. in WorkflowTrace::Log()) and there already is a support for tracing in D365FO.

    Thanks martin,

    If we use EventSource, where we can see the work flow trace log ?

    Thanks in advance

    As nlog, ETW can be configured to save data to various locations, therefore it depends...

    But by default, D365FO events are stored in event logs. In case of production environments, you can look at raw logs in LCS.

    Thanks for quick response,

    I have tried using below code in runnable class.

    WorkflowTrace::Log("Test",TraceLevel::Verbose, TraceOrigin::WFRuntime);

    WorkflowTrace::Log("test",TraceLevel::Info, TraceOrigin::WFRuntime);

    Unfortunately not able to see "Test" message in event viewer.

    In this particular case, you would have to enable Debug log.

    Select AX-WorkflowRuntime and from Actions (the panel on the right edge) select View > Show Analytic and Debug Logs. Then select the Debug log and click Enable Log (in the Action panel).
