The WINEVENT emitter is provided to allow trace records to be output to the Windows event log. By default, to prevent the event log from being filled with unnecessary information, this emitter only outputs trace records with a trace level of error or above.
To enable the WINEVENT emitter, specify the following statement in the Consolidated Tracing Facility configuration file:
mftrace.dest = WINEVENT
The behaviour of the WINEVENT emitter and the format of the output it creates are controlled by the following properties:
Property | Description | Default | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
DELIMCHAR | The character used in the output file to delimit trace data parts for a trace event. | Space | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
FORMAT | The format to be used for each trace data record written
to the file. You can use the following pseudo-variables in the format
specification:
|
$(DATA) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
HEXBLOCKSIZE | The number of hexadecimal bytes to be output in each
block when outputting binary trace data. Each block of hexadecimal characters
will be separated by a '-' character. For example, if HEXBLOCKSIZE is set to 4,
and some binary trace data with the value 3132333435363738393A3B3C3D3E3F is
specified for output, it would be formatted as follows:
31323334-35363738-393A3B3C-3D3E3F |
8 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
LEVEL | The trace level below which this emitter will not output trace records. | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
QUOTESTRING | Whether or not string trace data is to be output enclosed in double-quote characters. | TRUE |
