You may now perform a diff between selected items in Spider :)

• Differences are marked in yellow background.
• When content is compared, new data is in green, removed data in red, striked through.
• You can compare as many items as you want, they are all compared to the first one selected.
• There is no circuit breaker yet (tests in progress)... Diff may take a very long time or fail on too big payloads.
• Library used for Diff: https://github.com/kpdecker/jsdiff

Enjoy, and leave a comment! Especially for any bugs... this is first release, and will surely improve ;-)

First, select communications to compare, and click Compare icon:

Global tab show metadata from communications, yellow cells mark differences.

Headers tab shows diff in headers.

And Request bodies and Response bodies tabs show differences in formatted content.

For next coming feature (comparison of items), I needed first to implement selection on grid.

Grid selection is now available:

• You can select records on grid
• Your selection is kept through time selection change, browser refresh, view change and so on.
• You can choose to see only your selection (specific filtering)
• And you can clear it.

More is coming, stay tuned

Unmatched URLs category gives information on URLs that don't match any defined templates. This way, if you notice issues in statistics there, you know that you need to search and complete your templates ;-)

Those stats are on grey background. They are not taken into account on the color scale. Why? Because they are statistics you did not classify, which supposed to mean that you don't care much about.

I've changed the blank page launching screen to something more... relevent ;) Basically, it makes people feel the application loads faster, when in fact... it doesn't =)

But at least you know that loading is in progress much before!

A new filter is available on menu: filtering on URL templates that were defined for statistics. Later, I may build something more powerful to define URL templates, name them etc... But for now, this can be useful!

Seems like nothing, but I needed big rework on this part. This is not much used, but was needed for consistency and a technical debt dated back when selection of multiple Whisperers became possible.

It allows you to see when a Node has been seen by a Whisperer, and this Node's name as registered by the Whisperer. It can help understand bugs in Spider aggregation algorithms, and allow you to correct names.

Search history was available on search when the menu was reduced, but not when it was expanded. This was annoying!

That's fixed :)

Right now, it keep the last 20 manual entered searches. I can make it configurable if need be. Tell me!

I saw some people doing as me screenshots of sequence diagrams, and are forced to join the parts manually. I thought I could do something ;) !

So, from now on, you can export your currently displayed sequence diagram in SVG or PNG format with one click on a button! Convenient!

Please note that you still have to load all the flows you want to seebeforehand (using the infinite scroll). Since there is not any more autorefresh on sequence diagrams, you can scroll a long time.... ;)

Enjoy!

Automatic refresh has been there from some time, but was buggy. It is fixed now:

• Changing the settings actually does what was expected ;-)
• Sequence diagrams are not refreshed automatically, as this was annoying!
  • But they are still refreshed when you manually click on refresh button
• Grid is refreshed only when your time selection includes at least current time - 15 minutes. But that's the last time when real time data can be refreshed (second processing pass for delayed packets).

Due to new Stats panel more powerful... I removed Host stats... Moreover, it was not consistent with the rest of the U/X.

I'm sad, there were nice chunks of code there!
