Trace: Storport ETW: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

Version vom 16. August 2018, 13:12 Uhr

It provides a measure of time delay (latency) for requests made to a system’s disk unit. The measurements are taken form the Storport.sys driver, the lowest Microsoft component in the Storage Stack.
This means It only includes the latency for the components BELOW the Storport driver, normally they only include:

• The Storage Adapter Miniport Driver (Hardware device driver)
• The hardware layers (Storage Controller, Cables, Disk, etc)

Prerequisites
