  • Pushing ETW events through SignalR

    ETW or Event Tracing for Windows is a very efficient pub/sub built-in mechanism that runs in Kernel Mode for doing event tracing. That implies there is just a little overhead in using this feature compared to other traditional tracing solutions that are I/O bound and drop the traces in different storages like files or databases for example. As it is a built-in mechanism in Windows, many of the operating systems services and components make good use of it. You can not only troubleshoot your application but also many of the OS components involved in the execution of that application.
