I've been playing around with ETW and some custom events based on System.Diagnostics.Tracing.EventSource. It's all working nicely with the TPL, meaning I'm getting correlated activities even across different threads - all very nice. I am using PerfView to validate this is working correctly.

I'd now like to start using Windows Performance Analyzer in my analysis, but I can't see how to get anything resembling an activity duration displayed in a data table - something like the DURATION_MSEC computed column in PerfView. I've noticed that duration is available as a tooltip on the Generic Events graph, so it would appear that this information is available in the tool.

Does anyone know how to set this up in WPA?

  • for viewing raw events I always use Perfview to see this easily. But to analyze CPU;DISK, Memory issues, the graphs from WPA are better. In the "View Editor" there are ways to add filters, maybe there is a way to do this, but MS never really published a good documentation about WPA. – magicandre1981 May 21 '16 at 09:03
  • @magicandre1981 thanks for the advise - will fall back to Perfview for this sort of analysis then. It's a shame, but agree that documentation is challenging to find, at best. – cristobalito May 26 '16 at 22:32

    Just came across my own question after being away from this stuff for a bit. Disappointed how lacking the documentation is for WPA. – cristobalito Oct 07 '17 at 23:30
