Hi there,

A few questions that should help me be able ot figure out the problem.

What's the event(s) that is produced in the Application event viewer by a
single run of SimpleInstrumentation.exe? (Can you paste the text into the
reply).
Can you show the full EI.config file?
Can you type "net start" from the command prompt and confirm that the
"Windows Trace Session Manager" is present in the list of started services?

Most likely in the EI.config file, your eventsource is not associated with
the defaultSoftwareElementFilter - After running SimpleInstrumentation.exe
- I'd expect two events in the windows event log - one saying it picked up
and read the EI.config file, and one with the event raised in
SimpleInstrumentation.exe

Thanks

Mike

|
| I have this in TraceSessions.config:
| <session name="TraceSession" enabled="true"
| fileName="C:\work\TraceLog.log" />
|
| TraceSessionManager.exe.config does not define that key.
|
| When I run my SimpleInstrumentation.exe, it does indeed

| error event, so it is reading and parsing
| EnterpriseInstrumentation.config just fine).
|
| EnterpriseInstrumentation.config in the bin\debug entry
| (where SimpleInstrumentation.exe is) contains this:
|
| <filters>
| <filter name="defaultSoftwareElementFilter"
| description=" A default filter for the Software Element
| event sources.">
| <eventCategoryRef name="All Events">
| <eventSinkRef name="traceSink" />
| <eventSinkRef name="logSink" />
| </eventCategoryRef>
| </filter>
| <filter name="defaultRequestFilter" description="A
| default filter for the Request event sources." />
| </filters>
|
| I'm on Windows XP SP1.
|
| Doesn't seem like the first sample should be this hard. ;)
