My task is to make an ETW real-time consumer with events provided by 'Microsoft Windows Security Auditing'. I made a simple controller and consumer application, basing on this example http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ee441325%28v=vs.85%29.aspx and changing flags to work in real-time mode. The main function looks this way: LPTSTR SessionName = L"hahahaaa"; ULONG status = ERROR_SUCCESS; PEVENT_TRACE_PROPERTIES pSessionProperties = NULL; EVENT_TRACE_LOGFILE trace; TRACEHANDLE hTrace = 0; TRACEHANDLE hSession = 0; const GUID providerId = { 0x54849625, 0x5478, 0x4994, { 0xA5,

I'd like to ask a very specific question about writing to the event viewer using the System.Diagnostics.Tracing.EventSource and .NET 4.6 class. In the past, if you wanted to use the event viewer channels you needed to write/generate an XML manifest and register it with the operating system. Is this still the case? If so I'm struggling to find out how to get the build to generate the manifest, I belive this is possible with the EventSource nuget package, but I'd like to use the in built class under the System.Diagnostics.Tracing namespace if possible. Thanks in advance. Take a look at the

I have been working on using .NET4.5 new feature ETW(EventSource). I have trouble having it show up on the trace provider lists using perfmon->Data Collector Sets. I was able to see the logs using perfview. I was able to generate manifest from EventSource class using its static method GenerateManifest. This will provide the manifest of myevents in EventSource class but it does not contain details about the channels. My question is how to add channel specific information after generating the manifest file for perfmon tracing session? I also would like to use the Perfmon's Tracing session to

The larger question is how to consume real-time ETW network stack events in general but I'm particularly interested in the Microsoft-Windows-NDIS-PacketCapture provider . All other network stack providers partially work but the NDIS-PacketCapture (NDIS-PC) doesn't work at all so this is probably the simplest question I can ask here. I'm using the following code as the base and modified very little for it to work in real time: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ee441325(v=vs.85).aspx Changes I've made are: Call StartTrace to start the NDIS-PC session before doing anything

I'm researching Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) to allow a user-mode windows client to write out tracing information. The existing documentation is, to put it lightly, insanely incomplete. What would really help is a simple C++ example that writes out tracing messages using ETW. Does such an example exist? Is there other ETW documentation you might recommend? bahree To write a Provider for ETW you have two options of either writing it as a manifest-based provider (preferred for Vista or higher) or a classic provider for legacy support. If manifest-based is the approach you want to go with then
