You can always use the core ‘Tracelistener’ events provided by .NET , but WCF has readymade trace listeners for the core WCF objects.
Assembly Name |
Description |
System.ServiceModel |

- Message process
- Reading of configuration information
- Transport-level action
- Security requests
|
System.ServiceModel.MessageLogging |
Generates tracing information for every message that flows through the system. |
System.ServiceModel.IdentityModel |
Generate trace data for authentication and authorization. |
System.ServiceModel.Activation |
Emits information regarding activation of the service. |
System.Runtime.Serialization |
Emits information when objects are serialized or deserialized. WCF always serializes and de-serializes information during request so it’s a good event to see the content of the request. |

CardSpace |
Emits trace messages related to any CardSpace identity processing that occurs within WCF context. |
