Dear MS team.

I am a Tech Mgr in a small-media software company,
My role act as Software Architect in my company.

And we are in .NET now.
This year, one of our feature is to find a way to integrate our software
architecture all together.
for us, and for our customers.

I had add EIF as interesting subject in my research list.
but one thing bother me so much.

So. here I am.

From architecture view .
why is EIF need each Client as Event Source to be register ?
as I assume there should be one way that event flow through, to your EIF
Service then to they Sink Target.

so is there any other scenarios that could hit me ?

I really need this to make my decision.

btw, I am just starting to research now.

thanks a lot.

Hi there,

I think of an EventSource as like a "named pipe" that events are raised
down. The pipe is configured (via a configuration file) to have at the
other end a list of EventSinks that actually handle the step of outputting
the event to the outside world (e.g. to wmi, msmq, etc). The pipe has to
have a name so that in the configuration file you can identify which
configuration is for which "named pipe".

A nice feature of EIF is that this configuration file (often referred to as
EIF.config) can be changed on the fly while the instrumented app is
running. The instrumented app will pick up the changes and re-configured
the EventSources ("named pipes") automatically.

I hope this helps

Mike
