IIS 8.5: Failed Request Tracing missing from IIS Manager

In Windows Server 2012 R2, I've installed the IIS "Tracing" module. However when I start IIS Manager, I don't see the Failed Request Tracing option anywhere, in any pane or properties window of any object.

What do I need to do to convince IIS that I really do want to use Request Tracing??
