# Viewing CTS Traces

#### Scenarios

After CTS is enabled, it starts recording operations on cloud resources. The CTS management console stores the last seven days of operation records.

This topic describes how to query or export the last seven days of operation records on the CTS console.

You can also configure TMS key operation notifications on the CTS console. When these key operations are performed, notifications are sent to the related subscribers in real time through SMN. For details, see section "Configuring Key Event Notification" in the Cloud Trace Service User Guide.

2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and project.
3. Click Service List and choose Management & Deployment > Cloud Trace Service.
4. In the left navigation pane, choose Trace List.
