DebugView (http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/debugview.shtml)
has a “Log To File” option. Running it should be simple enough. :slight_smile:

Or if you are connected to a debugger, you can Log that to a file as
well …

Thank you for your answers, maybe at the moment using the Debugview
Application will suffice. But in the future, the customer is requesting that
a logging function be added to the driver. The easiest way I can think of is
redirecting the dbgprint output. Anyways, maybe I’ll jut try to emulate the
functionality of the dbgprint function but to a log file. Is there any
samples out there that also does logging to the filesystem? If there is, any
pointers or information will be highly helpful.

Search Google for “Monitoring NT Debug Services” from “Jose Flores” . But take care : it’s older stuff that will not work
anymore on XP/Server 2003. BTW. the soft uses undocumented things, *not* to be used in a production environment.

Event tracing for windows does everything you need. Search this list for the
various discussions (ETW probably works).

Do you want to intercept only your driver’s output? Then just don’t call
DbgPrint and use your own debugging function that will write to a file.
Simpler, I guess.

Also just go to the MSDN oe www.microsoft.com and do a search for
“Software Tracing” or “WPP” or “Event Tracing” the hits quickly show you
the driver related entries.

Some starters are below but there are quite a few references

ZwCreateFile… but event tracing, or some “official method”
is a much better idea since you have to rely on the FS to be loaded and
such issues that add much complexity to your driver.
