Choose a tool

Choose a tool for the result you need. Protocol-specific behavior depends on the selected module.

Tool	Task	Result
Tracer	Find requests and responses and reconstruct events	Message history, decoding layers, details, and labels
Monitor	Follow recurring messages and changes	Latest values, periods, counts, and observation status
Line utilization and traffic analysis	Locate load peaks and compare traffic composition	Transport measurements, charts, and traffic distribution

Tracer is a dedicated page that works with live communication or a file. Monitor displays current communication observations; loading a file in Tracer does not populate Monitor by itself. Open traffic analysis from the transport indicator in the status bar.

Use Tracer filters to select messages. See trace files for saving and loading, and tool settings for display options.
