There are several configuration options with Tracetest Core:

• Server configuration to set database connection information needed to connect to required PostgreSQL instance.
• Provisioning configuration to 'preload' the Tracetest server with resources when first running the Tracetest server.

Supported Trace Data Stores

Tracetest is designed to work with different trace data stores. To enable Tracetest to run end-to-end tests against trace data, you need to configure Tracetest to access trace data.

Currently, Tracetest supports the following data stores.

Configuring Tracetest Server

Tracetest has a configuration file to contain the minimal information needed to start the Tracetest server. See more at Tracetest Server Configuration.

You can also provision the server when it first starts, configuring most aspects of your Tracetest server environment. This is useful in a CI/CD environment to preload and configure the server. See more at Provisioning a Tracetest Server.

Many of the server configuration settings can be set individually in the UI or via the CLI.
