The :ref:`tracing subsystem <outcomes_vizu>` can be configured in
-several different ways depending on the nature of the simulator (MSG,
-SimDag, SMPI) and the kind of traces that need to be obtained. See the
+several different ways depending on the used interface (S4U, SMPI, SimDag)
+and the kind of traces that needs to be obtained. See the
:ref:`Tracing Configuration Options subsection

configuration option.
We detail here a simple way to get the traces working for you, even if
This section explains how to configure this logging features. You can also refer to the documentation of the :ref:`programmer's interface <logging_prog>`, that allows to produce
messages from your code.

your program. To pass configure more than one setting, you can either pass several ``--log`` arguments, or separate your settings with spaces, that must be quoted accordingly. In
practice, the following is equivalent to the above settings: ``--log=root.thresh:error --log=s4u_host.thresh:debug``.
