|---| | [ View source on GitHub](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/v2.21.0/tensorflow/python/ops/summary_ops_v2.py#L1410-L1462) | Stops and exports the active trace as a Summary and/or profile file. tf.summary.trace_export( name, step=None, profiler_outdir=None ) ### Used in the notebooks | Used in the guide | Used in the tutorials | |---|---| | - [Introduction to modules, layers, and models](https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/intro_to_modules) | - [Examining the TensorFlow Graph](https://www.tensorflow.org/tensorboard/graphs) | Stops the trace and exports all metadata collected during the trace to the default SummaryWriter, if one has been set.


| ## Args || |---|---| | `name` | A name for the summary to be written. | | `step` | Explicit `int64`-castable monotonic step value for this summary. If omitted, this defaults to [`tf.summary.experimental.get_step()`](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/summary/experimental/get_step), which must not be None. | | `profiler_outdir` | This arg is a no-op. Please set this in trace_on(). |



| ## Raises || |---|---| | `ValueError` | if a default writer exists, but no step was provided and [`tf.summary.experimental.get_step()`](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/summary/experimental/get_step) is None. |
