# Using Anypoint Studio to Configure Tracing Module 1.2

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Anypoint Studio (Studio) editors help you design and update your Mule applications, properties, and
configuration files.

To add and configure a connector in Studio:

1.  [Create a Mule project](#create-mule-project).

2.  [Add the connector to your Mule project](#add-connector-to-project).

3.  [Configure a source for the connector’s flow](#configure-input-source).

4.  [Add a connector operation to the flow](#add-connector-operation).

When you run the connector, you can view the app log to check for problems, as described in
[View the App Log](#view-app-log).

If you are new to configuring connectors in Studio, see
[Using Anypoint Studio to Configure a Connector](https://docs.mulesoft.com/connectors/introduction/intro-config-use-studio).
If, after reading this topic, you need additional information about the connector fields, see the
[Tracing Module Reference](https://docs.mulesoft.com/tracing-module/1.2/tracing-module-reference).

## Create a Mule Project

In Studio, create a new Mule project in which to add and configure the connector:

1.  In Studio, select **File > New > Mule Project**.

2.  Enter a name for your Mule project and click **Finish**.

## Add the Module to Your Mule Project

Add Tracing module to your Mule project to automatically populate the XML code with the module’s
namespace and schema location and to add the required dependencies to the project’s `pom.xml` file:

1.  In the **Mule Palette** view, click **(X) Search in Exchange**.

2.  In the **Add Dependencies to Project** window, type `tracing` in the search field.

3.  Click **Tracing Module** in **Available modules**.

4.  Click **Add**.

5.  Click **Finish**.

Adding a module to a Mule project in Studio does not make that module available to other projects in
your Studio workspace.

## Configure a Source

A source initiates a flow when a specified condition is met. You can configure one of these input
sources to use with Tracing module:

- **HTTP > Listener**  
  Initiates a flow each time it receives a request on the configured host and port

- **Scheduler**  
  Initiates a flow when a time-based condition is met

For example, to configure an HTTP listener, follow these steps:

1.  In the **Mule Palette** view, select **HTTP > Listener**.

2.  Drag **Listener** to the Studio canvas.

3.  On the **Listener** configuration screen, optionally change the value of the **Display Name**
    field.

4.  Specify a value for the **Path** field.

5.  Click the plus sign (**+**) next to the **Connector configuration** field to configure a global
    element that can be used by all instances of the HTTP listener in the app.

6.  On the **General** tab, specify the connection information for the listener.

7.  On the **TLS** tab, optionally specify the TLS information for the listener.

8.  On the **Advanced** tab, optionally specify reconnection information, including a reconnection
    strategy.

9.  Click **Test Connection** to confirm that Mule can connect with the specified server.

10. Click **OK**.

## Add a Module Operation or Scope to the Flow

When you add a module operation or scope to your flow, you immediately define a specific operation
for that module to perform.

To add an operation or scope for Tracing module, follow these steps:

1.  In the **Mule Palette** view, select **Tracing** and then select the desired operation or scope.

2.  Drag the operation or scope onto the Studio canvas and to the right of the input source.

## View the App Log

To check for problems, you can view the app log as follows:

- If you’re running the app from Anypoint Platform, the output is visible in the Anypoint Studio
  console window.

- If you’re running the app using Mule from the command line, the app log is visible in your OS
  console.

Unless the log file path is customized in the app’s log file (`log4j2.xml`), you can also view the
app log in the default location `MULE_HOME/logs/<app-name>.log`.
