### HTTP Trace
-
-By default, MinIO disables the feature to log HTTP trace. You may enable this feature by setting `MINIO_HTTP_TRACE` environment variable.
+HTTP tracing can be enabled by using [`mc admin trace`](https://github.com/minio/mc/blob/master/docs/minio-admin-complete-guide.md#command-trace---display-minio-server-http-trace) command.
Example:
-
```sh
-export MINIO_HTTP_TRACE=/var/log/minio.log
minio server /data
```
+Default trace is succinct only to indicate the API operations being called and the HTTP response status.
+```sh
+mc admin trace myminio
+17:21:45.729309964 objectAPIHandlers.GetBucketLocation localhost:9000/vk-photos/?location= 200 OK
+17:21:45.738167329 objectAPIHandlers.HeadBucket localhost:9000/vk-photos/ 200 OK
+17:21:45.747676811 objectAPIHandlers.ListObjectsV1 localhost:9000/vk-photos/?delimiter=%2F&max-keys=1000&prefix= 200 OK
+```
+
+To trace entire HTTP request
+```sh
+mc admin trace --verbose myminio
