MIMIC Recorder
Overview
The MIMIC recorder allows to easily create starting simulations of actual devices
on your network. Once data is captured from a device, any variation on the basic
simulation can be created for use with the
MIMIC Agent Simulator.
Applications
Capture and replay
of events that can be used repetitively for future regression testing.
Capture events that
are intermittent or hard to reproduce.
Onsite field support
can not only bring the bug report but also the environment that causes
the bug.
Features
Any number of target
devices can be recorded simultaneously.
Any subset of the
device MIB objects can be recorded on a MIB-subtree basis. For example,
if a problem investigation focuses on a small part of the MIB, snapshots
can be taken of the relevant MIB subtrees.
Fast table walk achieves
significantly faster recording than normal table walk. Recordings on multiple
devices are done in parallel, rather than serially.
Recording can be
saved in a format suitable for later editing, annotating and/or re-recording.
Recordings can be exchanged via e-mail and source code controlled.
