FIXEye and FIXGrep are powerful next generation FIX log
analyzers. These utilities are the result of many years of
experience in FIX support. These log browsers go beyond traditional
parsers and are equipped with full knowledge of FIX objects and
their state management.
Based on the complex search conditions specified by the user,
FIXEye will generate the corresponding alerts in real time. A
typical use of an alert mechanism is the acknowledgment of an order
that hasn't been received for longer than X milliseconds. Another
fundamentally important feature of both the FIXEye and FIXGrep
tools is the ability to identify the last state of a specific order
or all orders. Our guide "FIXEye, Getting
Started" will take you through the host of features available
in the tool.
