Monitoring Traces (XMLA)
You can use the Subscribe command in XML for Analysis (XMLA) to monitor an existing trace defined on an instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services (SSAS). The Subscribe command returns the results of a trace as a rowset.
Specifying a Trace
The Object property of the Subscribe command must contain an object reference to either an Analysis Services instance or a trace on an Analysis Services instance. If the Object property is not specified, or a trace identifier is not specified in the Object property, the Subscribe command monitors the default session trace for the explicit session specified in the SOAP header for the command.
Returning Results
The Subscribe command returns a rowset containing the trace events captured by the specified trace. The Subscribe command returns trace results until the command is canceled by the Cancel command.
The rowset contains the columns listed in the following table.

EventClass
Integer
The event class of the event received by the trace.
