etw's Introduction

etw

GoDev Go Report Card Lint & Test Go code

etw is a Go-package that allows you to receive Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) events in go code.

etw allows you to process events from new TraceLogging providers as well as from classic (aka EventLog) providers, so you could actually listen to anything you can see in Event Viewer window.

ETW API expects you to pass stdcall callback to process events, so etw requires CGO to be used. To use etw you need to have mingw-w64 installed and pass some environment to the Go compiler (take a look at build/vars.sh and examples/tracer/Makefile).

Docs

Package reference is available at https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/bi-zone/etw

Examples are located in examples folder.

Usage

package main

import (
	"log"
	"os"
	"os/signal"
	"sync"

	"github.com/bi-zone/etw"
	"golang.org/x/sys/windows"
)

func main() {
	// Subscribe to Microsoft-Windows-DNS-Client
	guid, _ := windows.GUIDFromString("{1C95126E-7EEA-49A9-A3FE-A378B03DDB4D}")
	session, err := etw.NewSession(guid)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Failed to create etw session: %s", err)
	}

	// Wait for "DNS query request" events to log outgoing DNS requests.
	cb := func(e *etw.Event) {
		if e.Header.ID != 3006 {
			return
		}
		if data, err := e.EventProperties(); err == nil && data["QueryType"] == "1" {
			log.Printf("PID %d just queried DNS for domain %v", e.Header.ProcessID, data["QueryName"])
		}
	}

	// `session.Process` blocks until `session.Close()`, so start it in routine.
	var wg sync.WaitGroup
	wg.Add(1)
	go func() {
		if err := session.Process(cb); err != nil {
			log.Printf("[ERR] Got error processing events: %s", err)
		}
		wg.Done()
	}()

	// Trap cancellation.
	sigCh := make(chan os.Signal, 1)
	signal.Notify(sigCh, os.Interrupt)
	<-sigCh

	if err := session.Close(); err != nil {
		log.Printf("[ERR] Got error closing the session: %s", err)
	}
	wg.Wait()
}

Note: to run the example you may need to pass CGO-specific variables to Go compiler, the easiest way to do it is:

bash -c 'source ./build/vars.sh && go run main.go'

More sophisticated examples can be found in examples folder.
