Microsoft Message Analyser now released to the public

[Dos_Box]

I've just received (as I suspect many of you have) that the successor to Microsoft's Network Monitor beta is now available to download. You have to join the program (free) and can get more details from here: https://connect.microsoft.com/site216

 

Features include:

 

• Integrated "live" event and message capture at various system levels and endpoints

• Parsing and validation of protocol messages and sequences

• Automatic parsing of event messages described by ETW manifests

• Summarized grid display – top level is “operations”, (requests matched with responses)

• User controlled "on the fly" grouping by message attributes

• Ability to browse for logs of different types (.cap, .etl, .txt) and import them together

• Automatic re-assembly and ability to render payloads

• Ability to import text logs, parsing them into key element/value pairs

• Support for “Trace Scenarios” (one or more message providers, filters, and views)

Here's a cheeky screen grab for you. It's a very tasty looking app with lots of monitoring features
