Remarks

This extension is similar to the !wmitrace.logdump extension, except that the output of !wmitrace.eventlogdump is formatted in event log style, and the output of !wmitrace.logdump is formatted in Windows software trace preprocessor (WPP) style. You should choose the extension whose format is appropriate for the data you wish to display.

To find the logger ID of a trace session, use the !wmitrace.strdump extension. Alternatively, you can use the Tracelog command tracelog -l to list the trace sessions and their basic properties, including the logger ID.
