General discussion • Transperent USB port monitoring = serial sniffer tool on RPi-OS?

$

Is there any app with GUI that I could run on RPi OS (64bit),
that would allow me to monitor (and maybe record and analyse) communication between RPi-4 + an USB connected RPi-Pico ?
Something like: https://freeusbanalyzer.com/ or https://freeserialanalyzer.com/, but for Debian based RPi-OS.

I'm trying to improve ConfigurableFirmata(https://github.com/firmata/ConfigurableFirmata) and be able to find errors why it stops communicating with Node-RED. (Sometimes after 3 minutes, other times after 3 days...)

Please Note:
- Simple Serial monitor tools allow only to act as host, so you can connect only clients to them and they occupy the port.
- But I need a tool that is "sitting" between host and client device connected via USB and see what is being transferred back and forth.
(Creating a virtual interface from the APP to transfer the original port's data to it is fine. Node-RED can accept any string as serial port.)
Something like:

Code:

/dev/VIRTmonPort1  -->>   /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Raspberry_Pi_Pico_E6616407E32F412E-if00
Thanks in forward!
