چکیده
Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) has been the key instrumentation technology on Windows platforms for years. Many core operating system components have been instrumented with ETW, providing a basis for system activity analysis and problem diagnosis for a number of developers and tools. The upcoming Windows Vista ® operating system contains many new events, in response to the growing need to diagnose and tune various system and application activities. We describe the system events that are available on Vista, and provide a few analysis techniques that can be used to analyze them.
