how to configure xperf to collect performence data for a specified service seperately?

Question

hi there,

Using the common xperf command, I can get the performace data for the whole system.

Is there any way to configure the xperf to collect the data only for a specified service?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

you can filter the results and e.g. filter by image (name). This should allow you to build a own "focus" to one service (image).
Please check the online help (*.chm) from the WPT for getting mote details --> search "filter".

Best regards

A nice trick is to run a service alone in svchost:

sc config cryptsvc type= own

to undo:

sc config cryptsvc type= share 
   
You can even copy svchost.exe to cryptsvc.exe and run that instead in the registry.  But then windows update won't touch it.
