EVTX Reader fresh UI

October 01, 2026 by Yoram Snir

With macOS 27 and iOS 27 installed on my devices, I decided to rewrite the UI of EVTX Reader, but keep the previous code that parses the EVTX files. By choosing Swift UI the development to multiple platforms was easy, so anyone that purchased EVTX Reader for his Mac, can enjoy EVTX Reader on his iPhone or iPad.

I myself use it on my tiny iPhone 13 mini and enjoying it exactly like the older EVTX Viewer, which I kept on the iPhone App Store.

The usage of Swift UI also allowed me to add more features easily, so I added export to JSON and PDF. Also I added filter by time window.

Hope that users will find this newer version of EVTX Reader at least as useful as previous version.

Thank you Tom

I have update EVTX Reader and EVTX Viewer with small bug fixes.

I received email from Tom just after he bought EVTX Reader and it crashed when he attempted to open Application.EVTX file. With the help of Tom this small application is now more useful and able to handle more of those binary files.

Thank you Tom

EVTX Reader Crash Fix

September 29, 2019 by Yoram Snir

EVTX Reader is not updated often. While I received several reports over the years about crashing, it is been a while since a user of the application sent me a file that crash the application. I would like to thank the user Adam for getting on the phone with me and sending me a file that crashed the app. This file included a type of event that was new to me (and the app). While the technical details of this specific event might not be interesting, I would guess that similar events exist for other users, so now the app will crash even less. So, thank you Adam !! And to other users, if you have a file that crashes the app (and there is no information in it that prevent you from sending it to me), please take the time to help you and the community of EVTX Reader users. Thank you.

SOMng available only by email request.

May 15, 2018 by Yoram Snir

In the past year I did not improve SOMng, since Service Optimization changed drastically. However, it is still useful for Service Optimization 8.1.6 and higher (not version 9).

I will not offer a download on the site. Please email me if you need a copy and I will be happy to send the latest version.

Property Tools

March 23, 2017 by Yoram Snir

The Generic Edit Dialog in version 0.9.8.7 is now supporting multiple Property Tools and new Color Picker tool.

The options to edit XML or to edit multiline text are added automatically in addition to the registered property tool (usually specific UI for the Body property of the Setting object).

Color Picker Dialog

The Color Picker tool is added when ARGB definition is present, for example #FFFFFFFF and it is also available while editing XML.

Bug Fixes and Beta Feature

January 19, 2017 by Yoram Snir

The release of 0.9.8.6 includes some bug fixes and a new analysis module. This release include a bug fix, to prevent sending invalid requests to the server with logical condition (AND or OR) that include only ONE sub-condition.

Servers Monitor Settings

October 26, 2016 by Yoram Snir

Few bug fixes and a new settings dialog are now available with SOMng 0.9.8.4, which can be downloaded today. This pre-release is free and can be downloaded today (no credit card needed).

Recursive XML Editing

SOMng 0.9.8.2 allows editing recursive XML. This means that there is no need for external XML editor when editing XML within XML.

Recursive Object Reference

September 13, 2016 by Yoram Snir

SOMng now supports even more complex Object Reference, like in the following example, string and key (the Engineer's object reference was changed here to ID and District). SOMng now includes a new feature that recursively fetches objects, so there is no need to use keys in most searches.

Search

August 31, 2016 by Yoram Snir

Searching objects in Service Optimization is not an easy task. Many users are using database tools and accessing the data using SELECT queries and find it difficult to edit the data they found. A new search dialog is now available in SOMng.

Indexes

August 18, 2016 by Yoram Snir

New addition to the Schema Browser is the ability to see indexes defined on each collection.

Servers Monitor

August 13, 2016 by Yoram Snir

Would you like to know which of the registered servers are up and running? Use the servers Monitor. It is also reporting if found an enabled agent that is reporting errors.

Schema Browser

August 12, 2016 by Yoram Snir

With the new fast schema browser, there is no need to use the Service Optimization Structure snap-in for finding Collection ID or Property ID.

Generic Edit Dialog

August 06, 2016 by Yoram Snir

One of the efforts in developing new administration application was the Generic Edit Dialog, which is very different from the generic editing in the Service Optimization Administration snap-in.

First release of SOMng coming soon

July 28, 2016 by Yoram Snir

The SOMng administration application can replace the Service Optimization Administration snap-in.

Coming really soon...
