Triple Combo Tool - Easier Debugs & Traces

I learned about this free tool in a CCVP class I took years ago and rarely run across folks that know about it.  While this won't be available to you on the CCIE Voice Lab or Written, I do find it useful in my day to day workplace.

Murat Tiryakioglu has created an extremely useful tool for viewing and parsing IOS Gateway debugs as well as CUCM SDI/SDL traces.  As these debugs and traces can become very long and difficult to follow, this tool will organize the output and put things in a MUCH more useful format.

In his own words, "Triple Combo is a tool to aid people troubleshoot CallManager problems by providing a listed output of SCCP, MGCP, Q931 / H225, H245 messages found in CCM traces, CCAPI/VTSP, Q931 and MGCP debugs in IOS gateway traces and  versatile filtering capabilities."
