Tx (LINQ to Logs and Traces)

Tx allows you to do Language Integrated Query (LINQ) directly on raw event sources:

• ad-hoc query on past history in trace and log files
• standing queries on real-time feeds, such as Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) sessions

The Tx approach is different than Databases, Hadoop, Splunk, Dapper, etc. which all require a stage of uploading before the events become available to queries.

Instead, mixing Reactive Extensions (Rx) and LINQ-to-Objects allows the query to be embedded anywhere including:

• In light-weight UI tools like LINQPad and SvcPerf
• On original source machines, such as Synthetic Counters

The following picture shows the dependencies among the main Tx components:

Here:

• Dark green is .Net
• Light green is mature open source
• Light grey are framework components, also available on NuGet
• Darker gray are tool experiences that come with Tx
• White are samples
