How can I filter XHR requests by name in Chrome developer tools / Firebug

My problem is the webapp I am working on is pinging the server at short interval so I have many lines coming in Network tab of Chrome developer tools.

  • First problem: Chrome start to be irresponsive and then crash
  • Second problem: I want to remove all the ping request and have only the request I want to monitor.

Is there a way to filter XHR request by name or pattern ?

Bonus : same question apply for Firebug

In this screenshot I wish to filter our all 'bind' requests.

Thanks

Make use of negative text filters recently announced here (they should make it to the stable release in the near future if not already).

Chrome developer docs don't yet appear well updated but what is documented is available at
