Glow Analyzer Proxy

Glow Analyzer Proxy is a Windows application that acts as a middleman between an Ember+ consumer and a provider. The application works as follows:

Traffic received from either party is immediately forwarded to the other one.
All events (messages and exceptions) are written into an XML log file.
The main properties of all events are displayed in a scrollable list.
The full detail is shown for the currently selected event.

Convert Glow Log

Convert Glow Log is a Console application that converts XML log files as they have been written by Glow Analyzer Proxy into an even more human-readable format.

Note
Due to its implementation, the output of this tool shows how a consumer-side element tree implemented with the Ember+ Sharp Library is modified by the messages. This leads to the following limitations: Elements that that the provider initially reports as offline do not appear in the converted log until they become online. All fields of new elements are logged with <Init> tags, no matter whether the provider has sent an initial value or not. Control commands (GetDirectory, Subscribe, Unsubscribe) do not appear in the converted log.
