I am trying to get battery usage/memory/CPU usage related trace file using appium-intruments.

Below is the command that gets executed while starting the Appium server and after completion of the execution trace file gets created but **i am unable to open the trace file through Xcode instruments.**

**Custom trace template was created using Automation,CUP usage and Energy templates** , could you please help me in debugging this issue tried digging through blogs to find answers but unable to find any.

**Xcode Version 7.3.1 / Appium Version 1.4.13 (Draco) / iOS 8.3 / MacOS 10.12.2**

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/instruments -t “/Users/UserName/Library/Application Support/Instruments/Templates/Test.tracetemplate” -D /Users/UserName/Desktop/Test/instruments.trace/instrumentscli1.trace -w 5aa308c9xxxxxx322d72b02d72b049159cxxxxxx com.Iphone.MMT -e UIASCRIPT “/Users/UserName/Library/Application Support/appium/bootstrap/bootstrap-228b209b5e94d888.js” -e UIARESULTSPATH /tmp/appium-instruments
