GAP-IT is a free tool which has the ability to provide an administrator extra insight in the App-V 5.0 publishing times. These times are reported per individual package which is useful information for further package optimizations.
It comes with functionality to scan through the Windows Event Log searching for the publishing and package events. Based on these events the publishing times can be calculated. In order to resolve the package name and version the App-V management server API is used. This functionality is optional and the a package name can be manually assigned.
