+# .NET runtime wait handle events
+
+These runtime events capture information about wait handles. They can be useful to investigate thread pool starvation issues. For more information about how to use these events for diagnostic purposes, see [logging and tracing .NET applications](../../core/diagnostics/logging-tracing.md)
+
+## WaitHandleWaitStart event
+
+This event is emitted at the start of a wait operation on a wait handle. Here is a non-exhaustive list of managed method that could emit this event:
+
+- `Monitor.Wait`
+- `Monitor.Enter` or the C# lock keyword
+- `ManualResetEvent.WaitOne`
+- `Task.Wait`
+
+|Keyword for raising the event|Level|

+
+The following table shows event information.
+
+|Event|Event ID|Raised when|
+|-----------|--------------|-----------------|
+|`WaitHandleWaitStart`|301|A wait starts.|
+
+|Field name|Data type|Description|
+|----------------|---------------|-----------------|
+|`WaitSource`|`win:UInt8`|`0x0` - Other sources.<br /><br /> `0x1` - The wait originated from managed code through the `Monitor.Wait` method.|
+|`AssociatedObjectID`|`win:Pointer`|Address of the associated object (e.g. address of `obj` in the code `lock(obj) {}`).|
+|`ClrInstanceID`|`win:UInt16`|Unique ID for the instance of CoreCLR.|
+
+## WaitHandleWaitStop event
+
+This event is emitted at the end of a wait operation on a wait handle.
