GUI also gives you precise control over the tasks and events displayed. However, because of WindView s flexibility and open architecture, custom analysis is now possible. Screen 4 From WindView s first release, partners and customers have requested access to the event log for tool integration and custom analysis. Analysis packs are pre-written modules that analyze the event log. TSFS uses the same path that the WDB agent uses to communicate to the target server.
Developers are thus able to tailor an optimal buffer configuration.
Continuous upload moves the eventlog from the target to the host at the same time that the eventlog is being generated. Having many small buffers comprise the total buffer memory provides two key benefits. First, more of the target memory can be used as buffer memory if needed, since numerous, smaller buffers can more effectively fill discontinuous sections of memory than can a single large, contiguous buffer. Second, since the total size of the buffer can expand and shrink dynamically, a worst-case size of the buffer need not be maintained all the time, thereby freeing target memory for other uses. WindView now supports a new deferred mode of data upload in addition to continuous and postmortem modes.
