I have a Windows 2003 Enterprise Server system that I am running a .NET web
application on. I am using the Enterprise Instrumentation Framework for
logging errors to the event log and the trace log. When I send an error to
EIF, it should be logged in the event log and the trace log. Only the trace
log is getting the error. This is working correctly on all other systems I
have installed this on. The installutil application has been ran on this
system and the exact same EnterpriseInstrumentation.Config file is being
used. If I write to the event log using EventLog class using the same event
source it works.

Any suggestions what is going on?

Im not sure.

You can try flipping over the internalExceptionHandler to "report" for the
event sources in the EI.config file and seeing in the eventlog if there's a
better error. (by default only a perf counter is incremented if an error is
encountered)

For example
<eventSource name="Application" type="softwareElement"
internalExceptionHandler="report" description="Application level event
source" />

I changed the internalExceptionHandler to "report" and no errors were
reported. Is there any source code available for EIF so I can attempt to
debug through the problem?

Sorry for the long delay in getting back to you on this. Its been very busy
at work.

There's no source code available - but if you can send a repro, I can debug
it for you.
If you run perfmon and look at the EventSource and EventSink counters are
any of the error counters being raised?
If not it indicates that EIF isnt encountering an error.

If the EventSink LogEventSink event counter is increasing - it means that
the event sink thinks the event is successfully being raised (I assume
you're using the LogEventSink that comes with EIF).

Sorry again for not replying sooner

Mike
