Overview
        
        
        
          The MIMIC recorder allows to easily create starting simulations of actual devices on your network. Once data is captured from a device, any variation on the basic simulation can be created for use with the MIMIC Agent Simulator.

                	- Capture and replay of events that can be used repetitively for future regression testing. 
 
                    
                    - Capture events that are intermittent or hard to reproduce. 
 
                    - Onsite field support can not only bring the bug report but also the environment that causes the bug. 
 
                    
                
                
                Features
                
        - Any number of target devices can be  recorded simultaneously. 
 
  - Any subset of the device MIB objects  can be recorded on a MIB-subtree basis. For example, if a problem investigation  focuses on a small part of the MIB, snapshots can be taken of the relevant MIB  subtrees. 
 
  - Fast table walk achieves  significantly faster recording than normal table walk. Recordings on multiple  devices are done in parallel, rather than serially. 
 
  - Recording  can be saved in a format suitable for later editing, annotating and/or  re-recording. Recordings can be exchanged via e-mail and source code  controlled.
