Generate EventSettings metadata to enable or disable Platform Tracing (TraceSpanEvent publishing) in Event Monitoring. Use this skill for any EventSettings enablePlatformTracing metadata work. TRIGGER when: user mentions Platform Tracing, TraceSpanEvent, enable tracing in Event Monitoring Settings,

Platform Tracing — Configure Generate EventSettings metadata to enable or disable the Platform Tracing toggle, which controls whether TraceSpanEvent is published at a sample rate. This modifies a single field ( enablePlatformTracing ) within the existing EventSettings metadata type. Scope In scope : Generating Event.settings meta.xml with the enablePlatformTracing field to enable or disable TraceSpanEvent publishing. Out of scope : Agentforce agent tracing to Data Cloud (use platform tracing agentforce configure ). Other EventSettings fields ( enableDeleteMonitoringData , enableLoginForensics , etc.) owned by other teams. Event Log Files. Change Data Capture. Prerequisites Before generating, inform the user of these requirements: 1. PlatformTracing org permission must be active — this permission gates the feature. It is provisioned (not settable via metadata). Without it, the setting deploys but TraceSpanEvent is not published. 2. API version 68.0+ — enablePlatformTracing on EventSettings was introduced in Spring '25. Orgs or tooling on older API versions will not recognize the field. Update sfdx project.json sourceApiVersion to 68.0 or higher if on an older tooling version. If the user reports the setting isn't working after deploy, the most likely cause is a missing prerequisite above. Clarifying Questions Before generating, confirm with the user if not already clear: Enable or disable? (Which state do you want for Platform Tracing / TraceSpanEvent?) No other clarification needed — this controls a single boolean field. Required Inputs Gather or infer before proceeding: Desired state : true (enable) or false (disable) Defaults unless specified: If user says "enable" or "turn on": set to true If user says "disable" or "turn off": set to false If the user provides a clear request, generate immediately without unnecessary back and forth. Workflow 1. Warn about prerequisites — inform the user that this feature requires the PlatformTracing org permission and API version 68.0+. 2. Read the template — load assets/EventSettings template.xml . 3. Generate the settings file — replace {ENABLED} with true or false based on the user's desired state. 4. Place the file — output to settings/Event.settings meta.xml in the project's source directory. Rules / Constraints Constraint Rationale Only include enablePlatformTracing in generated metadata Other fields in EventSettings are owned by other teams. Including them risks overwriting unrelated settings during deploy. XML namespace must be http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata Any other namespace causes deploy failure. File must be named Event.settings meta.xml SFDX source format convention — the type name prefix for EventSettings is Event . Requires PlatformTracing org permission Without this permission, the setting deploys but has no effect on TraceSpanEvent publishing. Requires API v68.0+ Older orgs/tooling reject the field entirely. Gotchas Issue Resolution Deploy succeeds but TraceSpanEvent not published Org lacks the PlatformTracing permission. This is provisioned, not settable via metadata. enablePlatformTracing field not recognized by org/tooling Tooling is on API version < 68.0. Update sfdx project.json sourceApiVersion to 68.0 or higher. User confuses this with Agentforce tracing Clarify: this publishes TraceSpanEvent for platform operations. For Agentforce agent spans to Data Cloud, use the platform tracing agentforce configure skill. User wants to configure all Event Monitoring settings Only enablePlatformTracing is in scope. Other EventSettings fields are owned by other teams and not managed by this skill. Output Expectations Deliverables: settings/Event.settings meta.xml Before delivering, verify: [ ] XML namespace is exactly http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata [ ] File is named Event.settings meta.xml [ ] Only enablePlatformTracing is present (no other EventSettings fields) [ ] Project sourceApiVersion in sfdx project.json is 68.0 or higher Cross Skill Integration Need Delegate to Enable Agentforce agent tracing to Data Cloud platform tracing agentforce configure skill Set up Change Data Capture integration eventing cdc configure skill Configure ManagedEventSubscription integration eventing subscription configure skill Reference File Index File When to read assets/EventSettings template.xml Step 2 — template for generating the settings file
