Parent Elements

Element Description
EventProvider Represents an event provider for the profile.

Remark

When stack walking is enabled for a provider, then the stack is captured for all the events generated by the provider. Most of the time, the user is only interested in stack from only certain number of events.

This element allows enabling or disabling stack walking on a list of events based on event IDs.

Even though ETW supports powerful payload and attribute filtering, events should primarily be filtered based scope filters or via level and keyword for less CPU overhead.

Example

    <EventProvider Id="EventProvider_TraceLogGen" Name="*TraceLogGen">
      <StackEventNameFilters FilterIn="true" Level="5">
        <Keyword Value="0x10000000000000"/>
        <EventName Value="Preset1"/>
        <EventName Value="Preset2"/>
      </StackEventNameFilters>
    </EventProvider>
