How to: View ETW Data
After enabling event data, as described in How to: Enable Event Trace Providers, the data can be viewed by using the VSPerfReport command-line tool.
Important
Enabling events data generates additional files that have the .etl extension. This file contains events information and is used by the VSPerfReport to generate .CSV reports.
Note
Command-line tools are located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Team Tools\Performance Tools> directory.
To view ETW data
Open a command line window. At the command prompt, run the following command to start VSPerfReport:
C:\<path>vsperfreport c:\<path>report_name.vsp /calltrace /output:c:\<path>
Two reports, report_CallTrace.CSV and report_Header.CSV, are generated. The call trace report contains events information. For information about report columns, see Performance Report Column Definition.
