| Making Traces |
| ============= |
| * [Trace Event Format](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CvAClvFfyA5R-PhYUmn5OOQtYMH4h6I0nSsKchNAySU/edit?usp=sharing) if you want to generate traces yourself |
| * [py-trace-event](https://github.com/natduca/py_trace_event) for generating traces from python |
| * [Chrome's trace_event.h](http://src.chromium.org/chrome/trunk/src/base/debug/trace_event.h) if you're in Chrome's ecosystem |
| * [ftrace](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt) for generating traces on Linux |
| |
| Note: trace-viewer supports custom trace file formats. Just [add an importer](https://chromium.googlesource.com/catapult/+/refs/heads/main/tracing/docs/extending-and-customizing-trace-viewer.md) to trace viewer for your favorite file format. |
