Dynamic tracing in wireless communication networks

A dynamic session trace management system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• computer memory storing computer-usable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, perform operations comprising:
• requesting a trace profile for a first user equipment, the trace profile stored at a profile store;
• based on the trace profile for the first user equipment, providing an indication to a first node having a default trace processor that a primary trace processor maintains trace reports for the first user equipment;
• and
• receiving, at the primary trace processor and from the first node, a first trace report for the first user equipment for transmission by the primary trace processor to a second node or back to the first node at a future time.

Non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-usable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by a processor, perform operations for dynamic session trace management for user equipment, the operations comprising:

• identifying a first node that is most frequently used by a first user equipment, the first node associated with a first trace processor;
• identifying a second node associated with the first user equipment, the second node associated with a second trace processor;
• instructing the first node and the second node to utilize a primary trace processor that manages trace reports corresponding to the first user equipment;
• and
• based on instructing the first node and the second node, receiving, by the primary trace processor, a trace report from the first node or the second node for the first user equipment.
