Resume/Suspend Toggle Button

The Resume/Suspend toggle button is used to start or stop the trace. This toggle button appears on launching the debug session of an application. The default status of trace collection is ON. Therefore, when the application is debugged, the Suspend toggle button appears next to the data source. When clicked, the button toggles to Resume.
