Start





This is the main window of the viewer application. This list view has the same view style as the SPF's standard viewer.

"Records" in the lower left corner has a fractional number, expressing [count of filtered events displayed on the view] / [all recorded events in the log file] .



Viewing Log

There is no need to specify the traffic log file path in the case SPF is installed on your system. Just press the Read button ( 1 ), then the log data is displayed on the list view.

If you have a problem about opening a file, you can also specify a file path. ( >>Options )

You can drag and drop a SPF log file into the view also to read it ( 2 ).



Applying Filter

In the SPF's standard viewer, only the time filter is prepared for the filter menu. However this software is also capable of narrowing down the filter elements, including a time filter.

To apply the filter, first set values in the edit boxes and check boxes, then click the Filter button. Only the specified data can be extracted from the whole records. ( Clicking the "Enter" key performs the same function. )

For example, when the UDP and ICMP check is removed from Protocol, the view displays data excluding UDP and ICMP from the whole records. Then you can get only TCP events. ( >>Using Filter )

Since the Read button synchronizes with the filter, you can also get filtered data by only pressing the Read button, after you have set the filter fields.



Using List View

The column header buttons ( the buttons which have the column titles on the top of the list view ) have a sort function.

If a column boundary is dragged, the column width will be adjusted. And when it is double-clicked, optimaization will be performed.

It is possible to replace the order of the columns by drag and drop.

The width and order of the columns are memorized when the program is closed, and you can use those values in the same state next time.
