Enterprise Instrumentation Framework Downloadable again
Since my last post about EIF, the download magically disappeared. But now it can be downloaded again from this location. I don't know how long it will stay online this time, so better be fast... :-)
For you who do not know EIF:
The Microsoft Enterprise
Instrumentation framework (EIF) enables applications built
on the .NET Framework to be instrumented for manageability
in a production environment. This framework provides an
extensible event schema and unified API which leverages
existing eventing, logging and tracing mechanisms built into
Windows, including WMI, the Windows Event Log, and Windows
Event Tracing. An application instrumented with this
framework can publish a broad spectrum of information such
as errors, warnings, audits, diagnostic events, and
business-specific events. In addition, Enterprise
Instrumentation enables tracing by business-process or
application service, and can provide statistics such as
average execution time for a given process or service.
