How to use SQL Profiler to create a SQL trace, for example to help troubleshoot Controller problems

Troubleshooting

Problem

Analyst/consultant would like to analyse what the Controller system is attempting to do, for example in order to troubleshoot an error message or performance problem.

How can they create a log of what the SQL server is doing, during a specific time period?

Symptom

Customer has an issue in Controller (for example slow performance when performing action X) and the support analyst would like to see if there is any useful information that can be found by analysing what actions the Microsoft SQL server is performing during this time.

In other words, they want to capture the SQL statements that are being run (by Controller) when the problem is occurring.
