Packet Monitor (PacketMon) generates logs in etl format. These logs can be analyzed using Microsoft Network Monitor (Netmon) by using special parsers. This page will detail how to analyze PacketMon-generated etl files within Netmon.

Follow these steps to install and configure Netmon to parse PacketMon-generated etl files:

-Install Network Monitor 3.4 from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/4865.

-Start Network Monitor elevated and set Windows as Active parser profile at (Tools / Options / Parser Profiles).

-Copy etl_Microsoft-Windows-PktMon-Events.npl from https://github.com/microsoft/NetMon_Parsers_for_PacketMon/blob/main/etl_Microsoft-Windows-PktMon-Events.npl to -"%PROGRAMDATA%\Microsoft\Network Monitor 3\NPL\NetworkMonitor Parsers\Windows"

-Copy stub_etl_Microsoft-Windows-PktMon-Events.npl from https://github.com/microsoft/NetMon_Parsers_for_PacketMon/blob/main/stub_etl_Microsoft-Windows-PktMon-Events.npl to "%PROGRAMDATA%\Microsoft\Network -Monitor 3\NPL\NetworkMonitor Parsers\Windows\Stubs"

-Rename stub_etl_Microsoft-Windows-PktMon-Events.npl to etl_Microsoft-Windows-PktMon-Events.npl

-Include etl_Microsoft-Windows-PktMon-Events.npl into NetworkMonitor_Parsers_sparser.npl at "%PROGRAMDATA%\Microsoft\Network Monitor 3\NPL\NetworkMonitor Parsers"

-Restart Network Monitor elevated for rebuilding the parsers.
