Unable to see custom Trace messages in Log Viewer which were defined in UDF

Question

Hello Experts, I am not able to see my trace messages in Log Viewer. I have a small user defined fuction which takes a variable and returns its uppercase and while do that it writes few warning level trace messages in the trace file. I've tried changing the levels from Warning to Info but I still don't see anything in my Log Viewer. At this point I am not even sure if I am looking at right place. When I test my mapping in Message Mapping's Test tab it works fine and shows me all my trace messages. But when I do end to end it is not writing anything to the trace file. I've tried to use instructions from following blogs:
1. /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2007/04/30/xipi-personalized-logging-tracing(logging and tracing)
2. /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/05/10/xi-i-cannot-see-some-of-my-messages-in-the-sxmbmoni (logging and tracing)
3. /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/02/25/simple-java-code-in-graphical-mapping--xi(for my UDF)
but I still don't see traces in my Log Viewer. Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong here.
Thanks in advance!!

//convert var1 to uppercase to make sure this function has be executed
return var1.toUpperCase();

Thank you Prateek for a quick response.
Yes I was able to see my trace messages in SXMB_MONI. Below is my the info... This is great. I am still not sure why this info is not showing up in Log Veiwer's (default trace) window. Any ideas? Since this XML file contains lots of other information I was wondering how to put my trace messages into the log viewer.
Thanks!!
