Tracerpt
Processes event trace logs or real-time data from instrumented event trace providers and allows you to generate trace analysis reports and CSV (comma-delimited) files for the events generated.
Syntax
tracerpt [FileName [filename ...]] [-o [FileName]] [-report [FileName]] [-rt session_name [session_name ...]] [-summary [FileName]] [-config [FileName]
Parameters
FileName [ filename ... ] : Specifies the name of the file for the event trace session. You can specify multiple files.
-o [ FileName ] : Specifies the name of the CSV (comma-delimited) file. If no files are specified, then the default is dumpfile.csv and not summary.txt.
-report [ FileName ] : Specifies the name of the output report file. Default is workload.txt.
-rt session_name [ session_name ... ] : Gets data from the realtime data source. To use this option, include the event trace session.
-summary [ FileName ] : Specifies name of output summary file. Default is summary.txt.
-config FileName : Specifies the pathname of the settings file that contains command line parameters. Use this to enter your command line options into a file.
/? : Displays help at the command prompt.
Remarks
Viewing dumpfile.csv files in Microsoft Excel
Opening the dumpfile.csv format in Microsoft Excel allows you to view events in chronological order. The files include header records followed by comma-delimited text. The header fields are listed below:
Field
Description
TID
Thread identifier
Clock time
Event timestamp
Kernel (ms)
Processor time in kernel mode
User (ms)
Processor time in user mode
User data
Variable piece of header data based on the Managed Object Format (MOF) structure.
IID
Instance ID
PIID
Parent Instance ID
Using the -report option
To use the report option, you must include a "Windows kernel trace" file, and any other event trace file in your command line. You will receive an error message without this in your command line.
Using the -summary option
When you use the -summary option, the following file is generated:
Files processed
list of files
Total buffers processed
N
Total events processed
N
Total events lost
N
Start time
dd MMM yyyy hh:mm:ss.ttt
End time
dd MMM yyyy hh:mm:ss.ttt
Elapsed time
N sec
Using the -config option
The contents of the setting file used with the -config option should have the following format:
[command_option]
value
where command_option is a command line option and value specifies its value. For example:
[o]
output.txt
[report]
report.txt
[summary]
summary.txt
