Edit: Okay, I think I've actually found what you need: MSDN has instructions on how to use SvcTraceViewer.exe http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms732023.aspx which would seem to fit the bill.

In your asp.net app, go to trace.axd, you're trace messages will be there. If your asp.net app is at http://bob.com/woot then go to http://bob.com/woot/trace.axd and you'll see your trace messages. There are settings in the web.config you have to set in order to access the trace remotely.

<configuration>
 <system.web>
   <trace 
    enabled="true" 
    requestLimit = "10"
    pageOutput="false"
    traceMode="SortByTime"
    localOnly = "true"
  />
 </system.web>
</configuration>

The doesn't help for traceview but I can use the trace.axd. But please let me modify the question from web-application to a wcf service. How can i make it tracebale? The trace is not working either for it.... there I have an app.config In fact right now it would be most more usable for me the tracing from inside the service than the web-application - as it seems we have a performance bottleneck there and i am trying to identify it.
