Install via HACS or manually into custom_components, then restart Home Assistant, no extra configuration needed.
HA Trace Manager is an add-on for Home Assistant, the popular open-source home automation platform. It solves a small but annoying problem: Home Assistant keeps a limited number of debug traces for each automation or script, and normally you have to edit each entity's configuration file by hand to change how many traces it keeps. With this integration installed, you instead go to the Developer Tools section of Home Assistant, open Actions, and choose an option called Set Stored Traces. From there you pick one or more automations or scripts, set the number of traces you want kept, and run the action. The integration then updates the underlying configuration for each selected entity automatically, so you no longer need to open and edit files one at a time. You are not limited to picking entities individually. The tool also lets you change the trace count for every automation or script in a specific room, or for every automation or script that shares a particular label, which is useful if you want to consistently increase debugging detail across a group of related automations at once. Installation is done through HACS, the Home Assistant Community Store, by adding this repository as a custom repository and then installing Trace Manager from there, followed by restarting Home Assistant and adding it as an integration through Settings. It can also be installed manually by copying the custom_components folder into your Home Assistant configuration directory and restarting. Once installed, there is no additional setup required. You simply go to Developer Tools, then Actions, and select Set Stored Traces to start using it.
