This question seems to be pretty close to what I am looking for - I was able to setup tracing and I am looking at the log entries for my calls to the service.
However I need to see the raw soap request with the data I am sending to the service and I see no way of doing that from the SvcTraceViewer (only log entries are shown but no data sent to the service) - am I just missing configuration?
Here's what I got in my web.config:
<system.diagnostics>
<sources>
<source name="System.ServiceModel"
switchValue="Verbose"
propagateActivity="true">
<listeners>
<add name="sdt"
type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener"
initializeData="App_Data/Logs/WCFTrace.svclog" />
</listeners>
</source>
</sources>
</system.diagnostics>
Any help appreciated!
UPDATE: this is all I see in my trace:
