DebugView

DebugView is a lightweight utility that enables you to keep a close eye on the debug data output on the local machine or other computers in the local area network. Then again, you should bear in mind that if you prefer the latter option, then you need to make sure that the app is present on that machine and that it can be accessed via the TCP/IP protocol.

The application does not have to be installed as it can be run immediately after its extraction from the downloaded archive. The interface is as plain and simple as possible, with no bells and whistles, just the data that is available as soon as the program starts.

Among the options present in the main application window there is the possibility to enable or disable kernel-mode debug output. Granted, the application may not seem like much in terms of options at first. On the other hand, it packs all the tools you need for optimal monitoring. Not only can you maintain the main window clear from obsolete data, but you have various filters at your disposal to ensure you only preview the relevant entries.

Speaking of filters, they enable you to define both data that should be included in the listing and the entries that should be excluded. A color palette offers choices for highlighting the desired rows.Another possibility to control the amount of data presents is to impose a restriction to the number of files displayed on the screen; this can be done by selecting a higher or lower level of the history depth.

DebugView is an easy-to-use application that provides an effortless way to monitor the debug output for the current PC or others in the network. Depending on your needs and preferences, the app can display kernel-mode, Win32 output (that is generated by the standard debug print API). Lastly, you should keep in mind that the program comes with comprehensive documentation and, if you want to learn more about its purpose or functions, do not hesitate to take a closer look.
