PoolTagFile Specifies the path and file name of a formatted text file g Adds a column to the display (Mapped_Driver) listing WindowsĬomponents and commonly used drivers that assign each tag. LocalTagFile, and PoolMon does not find a localtag.txt file in theĬurrent directory, PoolMon generates a localtag.txt file by scanning If you use the /c parameter, but do not specify a value for Source for the Mapped_Driver column that appears when you use the /c LocalTagFile Specifies the path and file name of a local tag file, aįormatted text file that contains a list of the drivers on the localĬomputer, and the tag values that they assign. The local computer that use each pool tag. c Adds a column to the display (Mapped_Driver) listing the drivers on (?*) to represent one instance of any character. Represent zero or more instances of any character, or a question mark The Tag argument can include an asterisk () to Tag Specifies a pool tag or pool tag pattern. Space between the /x and the Tag argument. YouĬan have multiple /x parameters in a PoolMon command. x Excludes allocations with the specified tag from the display. Have multiple /i parameters in a PoolMon command. i Displays only the allocations with the specified pool tag. Much pool memory the driver is using at any given time. You can also use PoolMon in each stage of testing to view theĭriver's patterns of allocation and free operations, and to reveal how When they create a new driver, change the driver code, or stress theĭriver. The data is groupedĭriver developers and testers often use PoolMon to detect memory leaks Memory pools used for Terminal Services sessions. The PoolMan driver exists in windows, it:ĭisplays data that the operating system collects about memoryĪllocations from the system paged and nonpaged kernel pools, and the This occurs only on one of virtual machines used in test setup. I'm trying to rename tags, but every day there is something new. How to understand this? How to deal with this? Sometimes there is negative Diff Tag Type Allocs Frees Diff Bytes Per Alloc Mapped_Driver g Display driver information using PoolTagFileĪ piece of output is Tag Type Allocs Frees Diff Bytes Per Alloc Mapped_Driver Logfile maybe specified, default is poolsnap.log My command line is poolmon.exe -s -e -g -r -n poolmondump.txtĪrgument definition from poolmon /? -s Display session pool I'm using poolmon from Win 10 SDK to analyze memory leaks, I'm running it right after the driver was unloaded.
