Personally, I think that the added value of extending the SOAP monitor module to collect messages in a central place is too limited to attract enough interest from the user community, so that it will be difficult to ensure the evolution of such a project in the future. However, what many people are looking for is a tool that allows to track the flow of a message through a distributed system, or more generally to track the sequence of events triggered by a given input message (sort of end-to-end transaction monitoring).
