Regex Colorizer, TX and RX
The Regex Colorizer layer plugin can be attached to any stream session for highlighting regex-based patterns in TX and RX data streams.
To create a new highlighting rule:
- Go to
Settings -> Session -> Regex Colorizer
- Write a pattern-describing regular expression
- Select which streams to apply it to (
TX
,RX
, or both) - Choose color and font attributes
- Hit
OK
— and it's done!
The pattern will be found and highlighted even when it spans across multiple inter-packet boundaries. Note, that normally the pattern will be searched for in upcoming data only. To colorize all existing log records, please click Apply and rebuild log
.
You can add as many extra highlighting rules as you want — with no performance drop! Think about this: colorizing many patterns is as fast as colorizing just one — isn't that cool?! All your patterns will be compiled into a single DFA to avoid any additional performance cost.
Also, it's always possible to remove the Regex Colorizer layer and get back to the raw, unprocessed data streams.
