What is the problem?  Just install tracer on different nodes and point to a different trace file.  If you want to have one trace file, then do the following:

NodeContainer nodesWithTracer;
nodesWithTracer.Add (<your-node1>);
nodesWithTracer.Add (<your-node2>);

...

ndn::CsTracer::Install (nodesWithTracer, ... );

You have two options.  First, you can select cache type (i.e., which policy to use) and cache size before installing NDN stack on the node:

ndn::StackHelper ndnHelper;


ndnHelper.SetContentStore ("ns3::ndn::cs::Lru", "MaxSize", "10000");
ndnHelper.Install (node1);

ndnHelper.SetContentStore ("ns3::ndn::cs::Lru", "MaxSize", "10");
ndnHelper.Install (node2);

ndnHelper.SetContentStore ("ns3::ndn::cs::Lru", "MaxSize", "200");
ndnHelper.Install (node3);

...

The second option is to install the same cache type on all nodes and then configure cache sizes:

node1->GetObject<ndn::ContentStore>()->SetAttribute("MaxSize", IntegerValue(10000));
node2->GetObject<ndn::ContentStore>()->SetAttribute("MaxSize", IntegerValue(10));
node3->GetObject<ndn::ContentStore>()->SetAttribute("MaxSize", IntegerValue(200));
