Not really, because log files slice the universe of data the wrong way.
A log file tells everything that happens at a particular element, almost
all of which is irrelevant regarding a particular transaction.

Transaction tracing is to extract the data relevant to a particular
transaction, across all elements that handle that transaction.  In many
cases, the person doing the trace is not and should not be authorized to
see the log of the elements the transaction traverses -- but they should
be authorized to see what happened to that one transaction.
