Hello fellow node ops,<div><br></div><div>The first version of NodeShark (v.0.92) is now available for download. It hasn't been tested extensively but appears to be in good enough shape to distribute more widely and have real users provide feedback. </div>
<div><br></div><div>NodeShark is a simple Windows utility that allows the AllStar node operator to filter through and analyze the logfiles generated by app_rpt and find/playback the associated transmission recordings. Of course, for this to be useful, you must have the "archivedir" directive enabled in rpt.conf. If you already have "archivedir" enabled, you can start using NodeShark after "sync"ing your archivedir directory with the Windows system you run NodeShark on. NodeShark provides a built-in facility (in conjunction with PuTTY) to keep your archived files synced up with a local copy on your Windows system. </div>

Jim also sent me a zip of an archive directory that had some log record types I hadn't come across and was more typical of a high-traffic node (unlike my little link node). </div>
