Child Elements

Element Description Requirement
BufferSize Describes the size of each buffer, in KB. Required
BuffersPerCPU Describes the number of buffers to be allocated per CPU Required
MaximumFileSize Describes maximum trace file size. No
FileMax Describes the maximum number of instances of the log file that ETW creates for Autologger trace. No

Parent Elements

Element Description
Profiles Represents a collection of collectors, providers, and profiles.

Remarks

HypervisorEventCollector tracing session works only in FileMode LoggingMode.

Example

The following code example defines an HypervisorEventCollector with 4 buffers per CPU of 128 KB each. If there are 16 CPUs in the system, total number of buffers would be 64.

<HypervisorEventCollector
  Id="WPREventCollector"
  Name="WPR Event Collector"> 
  <BufferSize
    Value="128"/> 
  <BuffersPerCPU
    Value="4"/>
</EventCollector>
