DESCRIPTION

The Stop-NetEventSession cmdlet stops event and packet capture for 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. A network event provider logs events and network traffic as Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) events.

Use the Start-NetEventSession cmdlet to start a session. You cannot stop a session unless it is currently running.

INPUTS

OUTPUTS

Example 1: Stop a session

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

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

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

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

This example creates a session, adds a provider to it, and then starts and stops 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 by using the Start-NetEventSession cmdlet.

The fourth command stops the session named Session38.
