Events (VSPerfCmd)

  • Artikel

The VSPerfCmd.exe Events option controls Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) logging. ETW data is saved to an .etl file that is separate from the profiler data file. The data can be viewed in a report using the VSPerfReport /summary:etw command.

The Events option can be called at any time before the VSPerfCmd Shutdown command is called to stop profiling.

VSPerfCmd.exe /events {On|Off} {Guid|ProviderName} [,Flags[,Level]

Parameters

  • On|Off
    Starts or stops collecting event data.

  • Guid
    The GUID of the provider control.

  • ProviderName
    The name of the provider that is registered with Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).

  • Flags
    A "0x"-prefixed hexadecimal flags value that is defined by the event provider.

  • Level
    Specifies the amount of data collected. Level is defined by the event provider.

The Events option understands the following kernel keywords as provider names:

  • Process
    Process events

  • Thread
    Thread events

  • Image
    Image load and unload events

  • Disk
    Disk I/O events

  • File
    File I/O events

  • Hardfault
    Hard page faults

  • Pagefault
    Soft page faults

  • Network
    Network events

  • Registry
    Registry access events

Note that the Kernel Provider can only be enabled. It cannot be disabled, nor can its flags be modified, until the monitor shuts down.

Remarks

Note

When CLR ETW events are enabled, additional startup data is also collected in the Trace View report. To exclude startup events from appearing in the report, use the following command:

C:\<path>VSPerfCmd -events on, \".NET Common Language Runtime\", 0x7fffffff, 5

Important

If you do not exclude the startup events, then because these events are not listed in the Managed Object Format (MOF) file, they appear as GUIDs in the report. For more information, see this page on the Microsoft Web site: Sample Managed Object Format (MOF) File.
