The Blackbaud WebEvent Profiler utility provides a visual representation of web server activity. It can be used to troubleshoot and also to verify that the web server is active. For example, this is useful when you configure an automation or load test and want to perform a test run.
This utility is also useful to diagnose problems unique to timing issues that only occur during load tests. Because you can see every event as it occurs in sequence, you can get a better feel for the sequence of events before a particular error occurs.
The WebEvent Profiler uses Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) extensions to gather and provide information and notification about your server.
To use the WebEvent Profiler effectively, you must modify your web.config file.
