EventTraceKit

Overview

Provides tools to ease development using Event Tracing for Windows (ETW).

Includes the following:

  • Event Trace Kit: A Visual Studio extension to consume real-time ETW traces. It provides a highly customizable and filterable trace log tool window. Trace sessions can be automatically started whenever a project is started from Visual Studio (even without debugging) offering a compelling alternative to the default output window and APIs such as OutputDebugString.

    Trace Log

    Download this extension from the VS Marketplace.

  • EventManifestFramework: .NET library to parse ETW instrumentation manifests (*.man files)

  • EventManifestCompiler: Used to compile ETW instrumentation manifests. Generates ETW binary templates and message tables to be embedded in provider executables as well es C++ logging code. Functions as a modern alternative to Message Compiler (mc.exe).

  • EventManifestCompiler.Build.Tasks: Nuget package that integrates the manifest compiler into C++ MSBuild projects.

Building

Requires

  • Visual Studio 2017 with C# / C++ (v141) and VS extension development workloads
  • Windows SDK 10.0.16299.0
