     Select a filter from the drop-down list.

     After you select Trace name for Search By, you also need to select a trace name.

   - Time range: You can select start and end time to query traces generated during a time range of the last seven days.
6. Click on the left of the required trace to expand its details.

#### CTS Log Entries

Each log entry consists of a trace in JSON format. A log entry indicates an SMN API request, including the requested operation, the date and time, operation parameters, and information about the user who sent the request. The user information is obtained from the Identity and Access Management (IAM) service.

The following example shows CTS log entries for the CreateTopic, DeleteTopic, and UpdateTopic actions:
