Network Traffic Monitoring
Monitor HTTP requests and responses from your Simulator app in real time. Inspect headers, bodies, status codes, and copy cURL commands for debugging.
Powered by RocketSim Connect, you’re able to monitor in- and outgoing network requests for your app.
Being able to see which requests are running is essential for a fast development workflow.
Insights overview
Section titled “Insights overview”You can see aggregated insights across all your apps for the selected time period: failure spikes, duplicate calls, caching opportunities, slowest endpoints, and most requested URLs. Use the toolbar to switch to a specific application or a different time range.
For the historical view and the built-in agent prompt to debug API issues, see Networking Insights.
Inspecting a request
Section titled “Inspecting a request”Open the detail view for any request by double-clicking it in the list or using the toolbar button. From there you can inspect the summary, request and response body, headers, and metrics. You can also copy the request as a cURL command to reproduce the same call from the terminal or share it with your team.
How does this work?
Section titled “How does this work?”RocketSim Connect’s dynamic library gets loaded at runtime and swizzles URLSession methods to catch networking activity.
How do I get started?

Do I need to set up a proxy or certificates?
Section titled “Do I need to set up a proxy or certificates?”Nope! Integrating RocketSim Connect is all you need.
Are you saying I don’t need Proxyman, Charles Proxy, or any other proxy app anymore?
Section titled “Are you saying I don’t need Proxyman, Charles Proxy, or any other proxy app anymore?”Basically, yes! However, RocketSim does not yet allow configuring breakpoints or adjusting responses before they return into your app. Though, in most cases, it’s enough to be able to see which requests go in and out, what responses they return, and why a request failed.
Powered by open-sourced framework Pulse
Section titled “Powered by open-sourced framework Pulse”Network monitoring is made possible by Pulse, an open-sourced library developed by Alex Grebenyuk. For a more advanced Network Logger that includes powerful mocking capabilities, advanced filtering, and more — check out Pulse Pro.
