Maintenance
Sysinternals DebugView CLI (DbgViewCli) for capturing and analyzing usermode and kernel-mode Windows debug output from the command line. USE FOR: capturing OutputDebugString output, kernel DbgPrint/KdPrint capture, boot-time debug logging, remote debug monitoring, filtering debug output by PID or process name, crash dump analysis, automated debug capture with bounded execution. DO NOT USE FOR: non-Windows platforms, application-level logging frameworks (log4j, serilog), Azure Monitor or cloud telemetry, ETW tracing (use WPR/xperf instead), user-mode crash dumps (use WinDbg). Triggers: "debug output", "DbgView", "DebugView", "kernel debug", "capture debug logs", "boot logging", "OutputDebugString", "DbgPrint", "KdPrint", "remote debug monitor", "debug capture CLI".
