DESCRIPTION

The Start-NetEventSession cmdlet starts event and packet capture for a network event session. A session controls

how the computer logs events and, optionally, network traffic, or packets. Use the New-NetEventSession cmdlet to

create a session. Before you can start logging, add network event providers to a session. A network event provider logs events and network traffic as Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) events.

If a session is currently running, you cannot start it. Use the Get-NetEventSession cmdlet to see session status.

PARAMETERS

-CimSession []

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such

as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local

computer. Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-InformationAction []

Specifies how this cmdlet responds to an information event. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

-- SilentlyContinue

-- Stop

-- Continue

-- Inquire

-- Ignore

-- Suspend

Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-InformationVariable []

Specifies a variable in which to store an information event message. Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-Name

Specifies an array of names of sessions to start. Required? true Position? 1 Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false

-PassThru []

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output. Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-ThrottleLimit []

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell? calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

INPUTS

OUTPUTS

Example 1: Start a session

PS C:\>New-NetEventSession -Name "Session38"

PS C:\> Add-NetEventProvider -Name "Microsoft-Windows-TCPIP" -SessionName "Session38"

PS C:\> Start-NetEventSession -Name "Session38"

This example creates a session, adds a provider to it, and then starts the session.

The first command creates a session named Session38 by using the New-NetEventSession cmdlet.

The second command adds a provider to the session by using the Add-NetEventProvider cmdlet. A session must have a

provider in order to log events. The third command starts the session named Session38.
