This tool initiates trace collection for capturing user interactions and backend API calls. It's essential for recording user sessions that can be converted into tests, capturing production-like behavior patterns, and documenting complex workflows for automation.

For authenticated applications, you can provide a path to saved session storage to avoid manual login during each trace collection. The tool allows you to specify browser viewport size to match your target device or resolution, supporting presets like HD, Full HD, 2K, or custom dimensions. For backend tracing, you can deploy workers in Docker or Kubernetes environments, specifying network configuration and port settings. Service-level filtering through include and exclude parameters lets you focus traces on specific components of your application.
