FBScanner (Firebird Scanner) is a tool that can monitor and view all traffic between Firebird and InterBase servers and their client applications. It shows the real-time activity of connected clients: connections (IP/Name, duration, CPU load), queries (query text, status, parameters) and transactions (with parameters). FBScanner can be used to profile database applications, monitor user activity, manage database connections (including client disconnection on both Classic and SuperServer architecture). It’s also ideal for troubleshooting INET errors (INET/inet_error: send errno = 10054), as well as auditing existing applications and performance tuning.

FBScanner supports Firebird (V1.x and V.2x), InterBase (V4.0 to 2007). It is a useful tool for analyzing production Firebird and InterBase databases, especially if the application has been developed by third-party's and there is no source code available.

FBScanner is licensing on per server basis. License price is 199EUR/per 1 server, volume discounts are available.

Trial version of FBScanner is available for download Now updated to 2.0.2!
