What problem does it solve?

This Skill generates the Salesforce EventSettings metadata needed to turn Platform Tracing on or off, so teams can manage TraceSpanEvent publishing without editing unrelated settings.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Salesforce Event Monitoring Setup: Supports source-controlled configuration of Platform Tracing for orgs that need TraceSpanEvent publishing.
  • Guardrailed Deployment: Highlights the PlatformTracing permission and API version requirements so the setting is deployed with the right prerequisites in mind.

Quick Start

Tell the Skill whether you want Platform Tracing enabled or disabled, and it will generate the Event.settings-meta.xml file for your project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enable Platform Tracing in Salesforce using metadata?▼

To enable Platform Tracing in Salesforce, generate the EventSettings metadata file and set the enablePlatformTracing field to true in Event.settings-meta.xml. This safely toggles TraceSpanEvent publishing for your org.

What is the EventSettings metadata format used for?▼

The EventSettings metadata format manages Salesforce Event Monitoring configuration, specifically controlling TraceSpanEvent publishing by updating the enablePlatformTracing field within the http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata namespace.

What API version is required for configuring TraceSpanEvent publishing?▼

Configuring TraceSpanEvent publishing requires API version 68.0 or higher for the Event.settings-meta.xml file, and the target Salesforce org must have the PlatformTracing permission enabled to deploy successfully.

What is the best way to disable Platform Tracing in a source-controlled project?▼

The best way to disable Platform Tracing is to update the EventSettings metadata to set enablePlatformTracing to false. This ensures a minimal, safe metadata change without altering unrelated settings in your source-controlled project.

Does configuring Platform Tracing affect other settings in Event.settings-meta.xml?▼

Configuring Platform Tracing does not affect other settings in Event.settings-meta.xml. The process updates only the enablePlatformTracing field to ensure a guarded, minimal metadata change for TraceSpanEvent publishing.

Why is my Platform Tracing metadata deployment failing in Salesforce?▼

Platform Tracing metadata deployment may fail if the target org lacks the PlatformTracing permission or if the Event.settings-meta.xml file uses an API version below 68.0. Verify these prerequisites to resolve the issue.
