Recuperación de datos de eventos mediante MOF

Para consumir datos específicos del evento, el consumidor debe conocer el formato de los datos del evento. Si el proveedor usó MOF para publicar el formato de los datos del evento, puede usar la clase MOF para analizar los datos del evento. Todos los eventos de kernel usan MOF para publicar el formato de los datos del evento. Para obtener información sobre cómo publicar eventos, vea Publishing Your Event Schema.

El análisis de los datos de eventos requiere el uso de la API de infraestructura de administración de Windows (WMI). El espacio de nombres ETW donde los proveedores publican su clase MOF es root\wmi. El espacio de nombres ETW contiene tres tipos de clases MOF: la clase MOF del proveedor, la clase MOF de evento y la clase MOF de tipo de evento. La clase MOF de evento agrupa lógicamente una o varias clases MOF de tipo de evento. La clase MOF de tipo de evento define los datos de evento reales.

Una clase MOF de evento contiene un calificador de clase Guid cuyo valor debe coincidir con el valor del miembro Header.Guid de la estructura EVENT_TRACE . Para asegurarse de que tiene la versión correcta de la clase , compare también el calificador de clase EventVersion con el miembro Header.Class.Version de la estructura EVENT_TRACE .

Después de encontrar la clase de eventos correcta, enumere sus clases de tipo de evento secundarias para buscar la clase que contiene el formato de los datos del evento. La clase de tipo de evento correcta contiene un calificador de clase EventType cuyo valor coincide con el valor del miembro Header.Class.Type de la estructura EVENT_TRACE .

A continuación, puede usar la API de WMI para enumerar las propiedades de la clase MOF. Use los calificadores y el tipo de datos de cada propiedad para determinar el tamaño del elemento de datos en los datos del evento para leerlos y cómo darle formato. Para obtener una lista de calificadores MOF compatibles con ETW, consulte Calificadores MOF de seguimiento de eventos.

Dado que ETW no fuerza una alineación entre valores de datos de evento, la difusión de tipos o la asignación del valor directamente desde un búfer puede provocar un error de alineación; no debe crear una estructura a partir de la clase MOF e intentar usarla para consumir datos de eventos. Por ejemplo, si tiene un carácter seguido de ULONGLONG, ULONGLONG no se alinearía con un límite de 8 bytes, por lo que una asignación provocaría una excepción de alineación. (En equipos de 64 bits, esto sucede con más frecuencia). Por este motivo, debe usar CopyMemory para copiar los datos del búfer en una variable local. Además, si el evento se revisa más adelante, es posible que el consumidor no funcione si intenta usar una estructura.

A partir de Windows Vista, se recomienda usar las funciones auxiliares de datos de seguimiento (TDH) para consumir eventos publicados mediante clases MOF. Para obtener más información, consulte Recuperación de datos de eventos mediante TDH.

En el ejemplo siguiente se muestra cómo consumir eventos definidos por una clase MOF.
