Remarks

This extension is designed for performance logs and events, which cannot be formatted for human-readable display. To display the trace messages in a trace session buffer, along with header data, use !wmitrace.logdump.

To find the logger ID of a trace session, use the !wmitrace.strdump extension. Alternatively, you can use the Tracelog command tracelog -l to list the trace sessions and their basic properties, including the logger ID.
