Monitor IM Activities with Colasoft Capsa

In Logs View, besides the four original logs: HTTP Requests, Email Messages, FTP Transfers and DNS Queries, we can monitor real-time activities and detailed messages of four most poplar instant messengers: MSN, AIM, ICQ and Yahoo Messenger. Picture 1 is an example of MSN Activities view.

IM Activities Information

Date Time - time information of the activity;
Node 1 - IP address of the node that is conducting the IM activity;
Session Name - account that is conducting the IM activity;
Content - detailed message content;

All IM messages are listed in time sequence, to view messages of a specific session, you can click the desired session name in the session name column, then a text file will pop up to show all the messages of the selected session. Picture 2 is an example of MSN messages

Automatically save all messages for future reference

By default Colasoft Capsa will not save logs of those IM activities, to enable this function, we have to make some log settings. Let's take MSN log as an example:

Click "Log" button on the menu bar and then a dialog box will pop up as displayed in picture 3.

We can see Log File(s) is disabled. To enable log files, we have to click "..." to open another dialog box where we can define detailed saving options, as displayed in picture 4:

Log files can be saved in a single file or in multiple files. We may choose to split the file by month, day, hour, minute, KB or MB. In addition, we may define how many files to be saved. By combining these options we can make our customized log file saving settings as we wish.
