Cool Things to do with Radar

I was thinking about all the cool things you could do with Radar and came up with this list.
  • Tell your boss everybody who accessed the MBO spreadsheet today (using the important files watcher)
  • Identify precisely what cookies a web page loaded (using filters on the real time viewer)
  • Find someone who is copying their iTunes library to the file server (using the top 5 File Writers chart)
  • Find someone who is copying all the business proposals from the sales server (using the top 5 File Readers chart)
  • Find someone who is about to quit or is covering their tracks (using the top 5 File Deleters chart)
  • Figure out exactly who is making the file server disk light glow steadily at 7pm and what they are up to (using the real time console and the network filter)
  • Identify if anyone has used that old file server in the last couple of hours (using the real time console and the network filter)
  • Tell a developer exactly what files his application is *really* touching (using the real time console)
  • Figure out who keeps changing the home page of the intranet (using the important files watcher)

Tell me how you use it!
