Remote Live Trace
Real-time analysis of SIP and media streams now also on remote Linux systems
With anynode 4.14, the proven Live Trace feature is available cross-platform for the first time, enabling real-time analysis of SIP and media streams even on remote Linux systems. This is particularly helpful for administrators, support teams, or operators of cloud-based installations who manage multiple anynode instances running on Linux and still require immediate, detailed fault analysis. While the Trace Analyzer continues to run exclusively on Windows, Live Tracing can now be started directly from the anynode frontend – even if anynode itself is running on a Linux server.

Flexible operation via the Windows frontend
To use the feature, all you need is a browser on a Windows system to access the frontend. The live analysis can then be performed without a remote desktop session or direct host connection. Alternatively, the connection can be established directly from the Trace Analyzer via the Connect option by entering the host or IP of the frontend along with valid credentials. The user must have the appropriate permissions to start the analysis.

Secure real-time diagnostics for complex environments
All signaling and media data is displayed in real time, significantly simplifying test calls, functional checks, and troubleshooting — especially in distributed cloud or data center environments where administrators may not have direct access to the respective host. All communication between the remote anynode system and the Trace Analyzer is encrypted and authenticated, ensuring reliable analysis even for security-critical or customer-specific installations.
