We are working on ETW real time consumer application by referring to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa364157(v=vs.85).aspx sample.
We have been successful getting callback and print "ParentGuid" of EVENT_TRACE structure within callback. However we are getting MofData pointer as always NULL and MofLength as always 0 (zero).
On the other hand if we use non real time ETW consumer method i.e. file mode; reading from .etl file we are able to get valid MofData pointer.
We are trying to consume Kernel events such as CPU usage, DISK IO details from Events in real time.
So does it mean we cannot consume Kernel events in real time? Can some one suggest why we are not getting valid pointer/MofData?
