Receiving trace() calls via the Administration API

Bingo!

var netStream : NetStream = new NetStream( netConnection );

netStream.client = { onLog: handleLog };

netStream.play( "logs/application/appName/instanceName", -1 );

function handleLog ( info : Object ) : void {

     trace( info[ "description" ] );

}

I'm pretty sure trace events for SSAS don't come through the admin service (someone will correct me if I'm wrong there). If my thinking is correct, the console makes a debug connection to the application to recieve the trace statements.

I've never tried to listen trace events, and I haven't decompiled the console. So, I can tell you how to make the debug connection, but I don't know what event to listen for on the connection to get the trace events (perhaps someone from the eng team will chime in here... or you can just decompile the admin console to find it on your own)

Making a debug connection involves a few steps:

1. Create a variable number to represent your debug request Id. For this example, let's say it's 1234

2. Invoke the approveDebugSession method on the admin service. If we assume you have a connection to the admin service on a netconnection named nc_admin, the call will look like this:

nc_admin.call("approveDebugSession", null, "appName/instName", 1234);

Where appName/instName is the application and instance you want to connect to

3. Connect to your FMS app instance with the debug request id as a get variable like so:

rtmp://domain.com/appName/instName?_fcs_debugreq_=1234
