# Analyze tracer

When you run a message for testing purposes, you can use a tracer to record what the message does when it runs. When the message has run using the tracer, you can review the recorded actions in the tracer. Usually, you use this to find issues in the message run.

### Steps

1. Click **Connectivity studio - Integration Design**.
2. In the list, find and select the desired record.
3. Click **Tracer**.
4. For each mapped source record, a node is created in the tree.

Use the tree to navigate to the desired record.

In the tree, select the source record that you want to review.
5. The action list shows, for each processed record, the actions that are done during the message run.

In the action list, find and select the desired action.
6. If you have selected a **Map field** action, the **Mapping** section shows the applicable field.

Expand the **Mapping** section.
7. The **Source record** section shows the values of the source record fields.

Depending on the message type:

Expand the **Source record** section.
