How to: Create a Profiling Tools ETW Report

The Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) report lists the ETW events that are recorded in a performance session of Visual Studio Profiling Tools. ETW data is collected in a binary (.etl) file. For more information about this report, see Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) Report. 

• For information about how to collect ETW data by using the interface for Visual Studio, see How to: Collect Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) Data.

• For information about how to collect ETW data from a command prompt, see VSPerfCmd and Events (VSPerfCmd).

You generate the ETW report by using the VSReport /summary:etw command. The .etl that contains the ETW data must be in the same directory as the profiling data (.vsp or .vsps) file. By default, the report is generated as a comma-separated value (.csv) file. For more information, see VSPerfReport.

  ToolsPathVSPerfReport VSPFile /Summary:ETW [/Xml]
