When you define an event sink in the <EventSinks></EventSinks> section of
the EIF configuration file you have to specifiy the type to be used for the
event sink. Is it possilbe to use the same type with different event sink
definitions? For instance, I would like to use the same type with different
parameters and in different event filtering configurations.

Yes, that's exactly what you can do.

For instance, two bind event sources to two different trace sessions, you
would have something like this in your event sinks section:

<eventSink name="traceSink" description="Outputs to trace session 1."
type="Microsoft.EnterpriseInstrumentation.EventSinks.TraceEventSink">
<parameter name="sessionName" value="TraceSession1" />
</eventSink>
<eventSink name="traceSink" description="Outputs to trace session 2."
type="Microsoft.EnterpriseInstrumentation.EventSinks.TraceEventSink">
<parameter name="sessionName" value="TraceSession2" />
</eventSink>

Hope this helps,

David:

In the example below should the same "name" attribute be
used when defining the <eventSink> element? How would
EIF know which one to use?

David:

In the example below, should the "name" attribute be different in
<eventSink> element definition? Else how would the EIF know which one to
use?

Hi,

The "name" attribute is just the name of the property that the TraceSink
expects/needs to be set. The "value" attribute is what the tracesink/eif
uses to distinguish the different trace sessions.

Hope it helps.
