Making Traces
=============
 * [Trace Event Format](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CvAClvFfyA5R-PhYUmn5OOQtYMH4h6I0nSsKchNAySU/edit?usp=sharing) if you want to generate traces yourself
 * [py-trace-event](https://github.com/natduca/py_trace_event) for generating traces from python
 * [Chrome's trace_event.h](http://src.chromium.org/chrome/trunk/src/base/debug/trace_event.h) if you're in Chrome's ecosystem
 * [ftrace](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt) for generating traces on Linux

Note: trace-viewer supports custom trace file formats. Just [[add an importer|Extending-and-Customizing-Trace-Viewer]] to trace viewer for your favorite file format.
