The SlimLogger Utility allows you to capture and count TCP/IP network traffic in real-time.SlimLogger counts by hostname when possible (for http traffic), and otherwise by ip number.SecureLinks is configurable using any text editor (such as Notepad), and saves all counts to anXML database. It uses translation technology (*.xsl files) to report on the XML database,providing output in HTML or TXT format.The reports are maintained in real time (by default, every 30 seconds). These reports may bemade public by mapping a virtual path to their containing folder. For example,http://www.mydomain.com/SlimLoggerReportscould point to c:\AppsData\SlimLogger\GeneratedReports and then the reports would beviewable over the web. Access can be restricted in various ways. Although the SlimLogger installation program has a graphical user interface, SlimLogger itselfdoes not. SlimLogger runs as an invisible service. It has a web-based console which runs onport 8887 and enables the administrator to perform certain simple functions such as selectinga network card to monitor, and viewing certain settings for troubleshooting purposes.However, most functions are best handled by using Windows Explorer and accessing theappropriate file on the server, e.g. double-clicking SlimLogger-stop.bat to stop the service.
