FAILED REQ TRACING: ASP.net Provider Not Showing

Reply Contact

[ISSUE]
When using Failed Request Tracing, you are unable to configure or use the ASP.Net trace provider (it does not show up in the list of providers to select when creating a new trace rule) even after ensuring that ASP.net & .Net extensibility are installed.

[CAUSE]
This is a known setup timing issue that causes the ASP.net provider definition to get accidentally deleted. It has been fixed in current Longhorn Server & Vista SP1 builds.

[WORKAROUND]
Workaround is to do the following:

Open %windir%\system32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config in your favourite xml editor (such as NOTEPAD).
Add the following to <traceProviderDefinitions>
            <traceProviderDefinitions>

       …other providers defined…

                <add name="ASPNET" guid="{AFF081FE-0247-4275-9C4E-021F3DC1DA35}">

                    <areas>

                        <add name="Infrastructure" value="1" />

                        <add name="Module" value="2" />

                        <add name="Page" value="4" />

                        <add name="AppServices" value="8" />

                    </areas>

                </add>

            </traceProviderDefinitions>

Hope this helps you out in the mean time.
