You can also use the Windows Firewall log file to monitor TCP and UDP connections and packets that are blocked by the firewall. In the process of filtering Internet traffic, all firewalls have some type of logging feature that documents how the firewall handled various types of traffic. Explore our download area or look in our third party package list below. Installation Notes. For a complete list of system requirements and supported platforms, please consult the User's Guide. Information about each release can be found in the release notes. Each Windows package comes with the latest stable release of WinPcap, which is required for live packet capture.

I have an application which is a windows service. It accesses a number of other services using TCP/IP. E.g. sql server databases, informix databases, mail servers, etc.

For instance it will also access multiple SQL server instances on different servers.

In the course of a day if I want to log all of the different services it has connected to how would I do that?

If I use TCPView I can see all the information I want, e.g. remote address, port, but it is a real time view, so the data is not saved.

Process Monitor will do exactly what you are looking for

Once you have your filters set up be sure you to go to File->Backing Files.. and choose a file to save the logs to, otherwise it will start deleting old logs once it runs out of virtual memory or close the program.

I think Wireshark would do exactly what you want.

You can use its powerful filters to choose only tcp traffic from certain ports or ip. In short you can let it run and collect only the data that is important to you. You can see packet-level communication for everything that goes through your network adapter.

If you are running Windows, you can setup scheduled job which runs script:

your_output_path file can contain variable %time% and %date% so that every time script runs it outputs data to a file with time and date in its name.

If you install tool like UnixUtils you will be able to use grep and gawk command to filter out records which you do not need and leave only desirable once. For example, to get PostgreSQL connection you would do

Run this script as frequent as you want and you will have bunch of files with running record of your connection during the time.

I've just noticed an older SysInternals util called TCPview which apparently is accompanied by a console version.. like a netstat for TCP on steroids.

What's the best tool that you use to monitor Web Service, SOAP, WCF, etc. traffic that's coming and going on the wire? I have seen some tools that made with Java but they seem to be a little crappy. What I want is a tool that sits in the middle as a proxy and does port redirection (which should have configurable listen/redirect ports). Are there any tools work on Windows to do this?

For Windows HTTP, you can't beat Fiddler. You can use it as a reverse proxy for port-forwarding on a web server. It doesn't necessarily need IE, either. It can use other clients.

Wireshark does not do port redirection, but sniffs and interprets a lot of protocols.

You might find Microsoft Network Monitor helpful if you're on Windows.

Wireshark (or Tshark) is probably the defacto standard traffic inspection tool. It is unobtrusive and works without fiddling with port redirecting and proxying. It is very generic, though, as does not (AFAIK) provide any tooling specifically to monitor web service traffic - it's all tcp/ip and http.

You have probably already looked at tcpmon but I don't know of any other tool that does the sit-in-between thing.

I tried Fiddler with its reverse proxy ability which is mentioned by @marxidad and it seems to be working fine, since Fiddler is a familiar UI for me and has the ability to show request/responses in various formats (i.e. Raw, XML, Hex), I accept it as an answer to this question. One thing though. I use WCF and I got the following exception with reverse proxy thing:

The message with To 'http://localhost:8000/path/to/service' cannot be processed at the receiver, due to an AddressFilter mismatch at the EndpointDispatcher. Check that the sender and receiver's EndpointAddresses agree

I have figured out (thanks Google, erm. I mean Live Search :p) that this is because my endpoint addresses on server and client differs by port number. If you get the same exception consult to the following MSDN forum message:

I second Wireshark. It is very powerful and versatile.And since this tool will work not only on Windows but also on Linux or Mac OSX, investing your time to learn it (quite easy actually) makes sense. Whatever the platform or the language you use, it makes sense.

JMeter's built-in proxy may be used to record all HTTP request/response information.

Firefox 'Live HTTP headers' plugin may be used to see what is happening on the browser side when sending/receiving request.

Firefox 'Tamper data' plugin may be useful when you need to intercept and modify request.
