Aggregation Session Inspector

The Aggregation Session Inspector enables viewing and editing of existing sessions. The data is displayed in a table where each row represents a session, with the session data ordered in columns. It is also possible to edit the contents of the sessions, that is, to change the timeout and the values of the session variables. Aggregation Session Inspector only inspects sessions stored on disk and SQL.

Note!

Aggregation Session Inspector is only available in the Desktop interface.
