Attributes and Elements

Attributes

Attribute Description Data type Required Default

Id

Uniquely identifies the profile.

String that must have at least one character and cannot contain colons or spaces.

Yes

Name

Indicates the name of the profile.

string

Yes

Description

Indicates the description of the profile.

string

Yes

Base

Indicates the base of the profile.

string

No

LoggingMode

Indicates whether WPR writes to memory or to a sequential file.

This attribute can have one of the following values:

  • File

  • Memory

Yes

File

DetailLevel

Specifies whether a profile definition is used for timing tracing ("Light") or analysis tracing ("Verbose").

This attribute can have one of the following values:

  • Verbose

  • Light

Yes

Verbose

Strict

Indicates whether the failure of a provider or collector causes the start operation fail. If this attribute is set to "false", the start operation succeeds even if some collectors or providers fail. At least one collector and one provider must succeed for the operation to continue. If this attribute is set to "true", information about providers or collectors that failed to start is provided as warnings, instead of errors.

boolean

No

false

Internal

Indicates whether the profile is internal.

boolean

No

false

Default

Indicates whether the profile is a default profile.

boolean

No

false

Child Elements

Element Description Requirement

ProblemCategories

Represents a collection of problem categories.

Required, exactly 1.

Collectors

Represents a collection of collectors for the profile.

Required, exactly 1.

Parent Elements

Element Description

Profiles

Represents a collection of collectors, providers and profiles.

Remarks

Each .wprp file typically contains at least two profile definitions: one for each logging mode. The exception is that on/off transition profiles can be logged only to file, so the .wprp file for those profiles can contain only one profile definition. Each .wprp file can contain at most four profiles: one for each combination of logging mode and detail level. All profiles in a single .wprp file must have the same value for the Name attribute.

Construct the Id attribute value by combining the values of the Name, DetailLevel, and LoggingMode attributes, separated by periods, as shown in the following example.

Derived profiles have all the attributes of the base profile by default. These can be overridden by explicitly specifying them in the derived profile. For more information, see Inheritance.

Example

The following code example shows a profile definition.

<Profile
  Id="Example.Light.File"
  Name="Example"
  DetailLevel="Light"
  LoggingMode="File"
  Description="Example profile">
  <ProblemCategories>
    <ProblemCategory
      Value="First Level Triage"/>
  </ProblemCategories>
  <Collectors>
    <SystemCollectorId
      Value="WPRSystemCollector">
    <SystemProviderId
      Value="system-provider"/>
    </SystemCollectorId>
    <EventCollectorId
      Value="WPREventCollector">
      <EventProviders>
        <EventProviderId
          Value="Win32K-provider"/>
        <EventProviderId
          Value="Search-Core-provider"/>
      </EventProviders>
    </EventCollectorId>
  </Collectors>
</Profile>

Collectors and providers can also be defined in place, inside the profile definition.
