## Overview<a name="section11660541593"></a>

HiTrace provides APIs to implement call chain tracing throughout a service process. With HiTrace, you can quickly obtain the run log for the call chain of a specified service process and locate faults in cross-device, cross-process, or cross-thread communications.

HiTrace is the lightweight implementation based on the distributed call chain of cloud computing. HiTrace implements call chain tracing as follows:

-   Transfers  **traceid**  in cross-device, cross-process, and cross-thread communications.
-   Stores  **traceid**  in the thread local storage \(TLS\) at the Native layer of the process.
-   Automatically adds  **traceid**  to existing events and run logs.

## Constraints<a name="section119744591305"></a>

HiTrace is already supported by the IPC and EventHandler communication mechanisms. If you are using a custom communication mechanism, adaptation is required to use HiTrace.
