+# Scheduled Trace
+
+For every task that is scheduled, the task ID and the hostname of the node on which it was 
+launched is logged.
+
+The scheduled trace logs are written to a file named _\<logFilePrefix\>\_\<timestamp\>_schedTrace.log_, where
+* _logFilePrefix_ is the prefix provided using the `-logPrefix` option.
+* _timestamp_ corresponds to the time when _Elektron_ was run.
+
+The format of the data logged is as shown below.
+```
+<yyyy/mm/dd> <hh:mm:ss> <hostname>:<task ID>
+```
