# Using the DNSSEC Trace View

When you create any DNSSEC trace test, you get access to the DNSSEC Trace view. The DNSSEC Trace view leverages the ThousandEyes standard layout, [documented here](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/thousandeyes-basics/thousandeyes-view-layouts).

This article highlights specifics shown in the DNSSEC Trace view.

## Example

This example shows the result of a globally distributed DNSSEC trace test, targeting [internetsociety.org A](https://www.internetsociety.org/):

## View Specifics

The DNSSEC trace test measures worldwide validity by validating the keychain for the target DNS record from the bottom up. A DNSSEC query has a simple binary response - OK (Valid) or Invalid.

### Timeline

The timeline plots the graph of the average validity of the target domain and record type calculated from all agents assigned to the test.

Use the **Overlay** to plot the validity percentage (0 or 100) results from the agent as a line graph over the average validity measurements, calculated from all agents, for the selected date and time.

### Map

The map tab shows worldwide validity percentage measurements of the target domain and record type calculated from all agents assigned to the test.

When a single agent is selected, the map shows whether the results from that agent for the target domain and record type are OK (valid) or Invalid. Click on **View Details** for DNSSEC trace data. ![DNSEC Map View for a Single Agent](/files/MsWfbAgUQzxC5LjGHhaZ)

### Table

To view agent-specific results, click the **Details** link under the **Status** column. ![DNSSEC Table View](/files/jqgugTFwFWlfNCJQSld3)

### View Details

You can view trust tree and data chain information for an agent either from the map tab when a single agent is selected, or from any row in the table tab regardless of whether any agents are selected.

* The **Map** tab shows information for a single agent when a single agent is selected (above the timeline). Click **View Details** to open up a side panel with the trust tree and data chain information
* For each agent listed in the **Table** tab, click the **Details** link in that agent's row to open up a side panel with the trust tree and data chain information for that agent.
