C# - Logging The Data In Trace.axd To A Text / Xml File?

In trying to track down a performance issue that is only occurring in our production environment, we have enabled tracing within the app so see method calls and page load times.

This is working well and there is lots of information that helps to track down issues. However, the only way of viewing this information is to browse to the Trace.axd and then view each request individually.

It is also only possible to track the first X requests in this way and X has a maximum limit of 10,000.

Is there a way to direct this trace information to a file or database? I believe this can be done using System.Diagnostics, however, I am not having much luck.

I have enabled tracing using

<trace enabled="true" writeToDiagnosticsTrace="true" />

I have tried using the XmlWriterTraceListener using

<system.diagnostics>
<trace autoflush="true">
<listeners>
<add
name="XmlWriterTraceListener"
type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener"
initializeData="c: race.xml"
/>
</listeners>
</trace>
</system.diagnostics>

This results in an xml file containing the timestamps and data for the trace items such as "Begin Load", "End Load", etc.

However, it only seems to log a single request and does not log all requests. In addition, whilst the load times are useful, ideally I would like to have available all of the information that can be seen in the Trace.axd, such as request data, post data, session data, etc.

Is this possible at all without any major code changes? Ideally I would like to enable this using only web.config changes.

Alternatively, I have looked into other applications such as RedGate and Equatec's profiling tools, however, I would like to exhaust the non invasive tracing options first.

The application is written in ASP.Net 3.5 and C#.
