The SmartInspect Console
The SmartInspect Console is the viewer application that lets you analyze, view and filter your logs. It assists you in your daily development tasks with useful navigation features, powerful filter and search capabilities and specialized viewers to analyze your application.
The most important part of the Console is the View concept. A View displays the entries of your log. You can have multiple Views to show different parts of your log and each View can have its own set of filters and bookmarks.
The Watches Graph toolbox allows you to track variable values and resources like database connections and active threads. By analyzing the resource usage of your applications, it is possible to optimize performance and identify bottlenecks.
Different toolboxes give you access to important information about your log entries. There are toolboxes to show you the call stack of a log entry, trace variable values and to show the details of a selected log entry.
The Process Flow toolbox gives you an overview over the threads and processes in your current log and allows you to easily create new filtered views with the log entries of just one thread or process.
The Viewer toolbox gives you access to the attached data of a log entry. There are many different specialized Viewers to display any kind of data. The Console has an image viewer, text viewer, list viewer, object inspector, binary viewer and more.
