Loupe Live Viewer
A real time log message viewer that is part of the Loupe Agent and can be popped up from within any WinForms application.

Loupe Package
A portable repository, containing up to 2GB of session information as well as folder structure stored as a single file. Package Repositories can be easily moved between users just like documents.

Loupe Packager
A single assembly (Packager.exe) that can be freely redistributed to end-users to easily package up the sessions in their Local Repository and submit that package for analysis.

P

Package
See Loupe Log Package. A portable repository, containing up to 2GB of session information as well as folder structure stored as a single file. Package Repositories can be easily moved between users just like documents.

Packager
See Loupe Packager. A single assembly (Packager.exe) that can be freely redistributed to end-users to easily package up the sessions in their Local Repository and submit that package for analysis.

Performance Counter
A metric built into the Windows operating system that records a numeric value such as current processor utilization, free memory, and a range of other values. Performance counters are recorded as Sampled Metrics.

R

Report Explorer
A navigation view on the left of the Loupe Desktop that shows all of the reports that can be generated.

Report Generation View
A content view in the Loupe Desktop that allows new reports to be generated and displays all of the previously generated reports from the same definition.

Report Viewer
Displays completed reports, allowing them to be previewed and exported to a variety of formats such as PDF and HTML.

Repository Explorer
The tree view on the left of the Loupe Desktop that shows all of the current repositories and the folder structures

S

Sampled Metric
A metric recorded by capturing its numeric value on a periodic basis. Each sample is treated as the current value until the next sample. Performance Counters are recorded as sampled metrics.

Search Folders
User created folders that contain all of the sessions that match the user-provided search criteria. Search folders can be placed underneath User Managed Folders but can't have child folders of their own.

Session
All of the information related to running a single application through its complete process lifecycle. For example, for a Windows Service this would cover from when the service was started until it was stopped. For a web site it covers the lifespan of the .NET Application Domain.

SSL
Secure Sockets Layer. Most commonly used to encrypt HTTP, creating HTTPS.

U

User Managed Folders
Function like traditional folders; once created sessions have to be manually associated with the folder (typically by dragging them from the repository view to the folder). User Managed Folders can contain other User Managed or Search folders.

User Repository
A repository specific to an individual user on a single computer that can have any number of sessions and folders. Put sessions here for analysis and reporting.
