The command: "logman" is on Windows 12, 11, 10, .. , MS Server 2025, 2022, 2019, .. available

The examples for the command "logman"

The `logman` command is used in Windows to create and manage performance monitoring and event tracking logs. Here are some examples of using this command: Example 1: Create a new performance monitoring log:

logman create counter -n "MyPerformance Log" -f bin -si 10 -v mmddhhmm -o "C:\Performance Logs\MyLog.blg" -cf "C:\Performance Logs\Config.xml"

This command creates a new performance monitoring log named MyPerformanceLog. The data is collected in binary format (`-f bin`) with an interval of 10 seconds (`-si 10`). The log is saved in the C:\Performance Logs directory as MyLog.blg and the configuration is loaded from the XML file Config.xml. Example 2: Start data collection in an event tracking log:

logman start "MyEventLog" -p "{0C0CCAAA-AB5D-4A4F-9F72-0E77D58447F3}" 0x5 0x6 -ets

This starts data collection into an existing event tracking log named MyEventLog. The `-p` parameters specify the GUID for the provider ID, and `0x5` and `0x6` are examples of event levels. The `-ets` switch starts data collection. Example 3: Stop log data collection:

logman stop "MyEventLog" -ets

This command stops collecting data into an event tracking log named MyEventLog. Example 4: View log files:

logman query

This command lists all current performance monitoring and event tracking logs. Example 5: Clear performance monitoring log:

logman delete "MyPerformance Log"

Here the performance monitoring log named “MyPerformance Log” is deleted. Note: Using `logman` often requires administrative privileges. Make sure you're running Command Prompt as an administrator if necessary and that you have the appropriate access rights. Also note that these are just basic examples and you should consult the `logman` documentation for advanced configurations.

Important information, tips for the "logman" command

There are a few important considerations to keep in mind when working with the `logman` command: 1. Admin rights: Make sure you run Command Prompt as an administrator to have full access to performance monitoring and event tracking features.

Right click -> "Run as administrator"

2. Proper configuration: Review the parameters and options carefully to ensure that performance monitoring or event tracking is configured according to your needs. Incorrect configurations can lead to unexpected behavior. 3. Performance Monitoring Services: Make sure the required Performance Monitor and Event Tracking services are enabled and started. 4. Monitor resource consumption: Make sure that data collection does not result in significant resource consumption, especially if you select very high frequency or detailed data collection. 5. Monitor log file size: Pay attention to the size of the log files, especially if you save in binary format (`-f bin`). Large log files can take up disk space and impact performance. 6. Time Limit: When you start data collection, note the time for which data collection remains active. Some collections may run longer than necessary, which may result in undesirable resource consumption. 7. Stop data collection: Don't forget to stop data collection as needed to free up resources and stop creating log files. 8. Documentation: Maintain documentation of the configured performance monitoring and event tracking settings to easily understand the configuration. These considerations should help ensure smooth and effective use of `logman`. If you have specific needs or scenarios, a more detailed analysis may be required.
