Hi Chris,

I had a free time today and started to test your tool, here is my input :

remove all the noise entry, in this i mean the logging of all .jpgs and js and css files that fill our screen. For example go to www.elmajdal.net and you will notice more than 10 entries for this single site !!! All what we need to see is www.elmajdal.net and the other subpages or downloads that users perform. Remove the common files like jpgs, css, js, ........
We need a Clear Button, so that we can start over with an empty page.
I have suggested this in ISA Server Check tool, the textbox where we need to write the isa server name, keep it blank by default , so we do not have to clear it each time we need to run the tool.

I'm still in the process of testing it, so other input might be included later.

Good work !!

Thanks,
Tarek

Thanks for trying it out.

You're right, the output needs to be condensed. Let me know what else you think.

PS. You'll notice that disconnecting a session will take about a minute. This is because I have to call a refresh on the server. It would be nice if this was fixed in the TMG SDK.

Hi Chris,

Maybe you need also to put a few seconds delay in displaying the sessions. I'm testing it for > 500 users and the i can not see anything as the app is blinking all time and it really gets tough to see anything, even when i click on stop monitoring it take a minute to respond or even to be able to click.

>>> Maybe this will not be needed if you was able to remove the noise results that i discussed in my previous post. as these noise might be the cause of this heavy session logging and for 500 users i might be getting 10,000 item logged !

I will work on an algorithm to condense domain hits.

New Release Available....

Features added:
- Mime:"text/html" traffic filtering.
- WebSpy feature to view sites that users are browsing in real time

I am looking for suggestions from HTTP gurus on how to condense the output even more...
