how to use Dataverse Browser on premise

I'm trying to use Dataverse Browser (DvBrowser) to inspect all plugins and workflows triggered during an action in my on-premise Dataverse (Dynamics 365) environment.

I've downloaded the project from GitHub and followed the instructions, but I can't seem to connect it to my on-premise instance. Most of the recommendations I found suggest using Dataverse Browser for this kind of inspection, but they seem to refer to online environments.

My goal: I need to inspect all plugins and workflows that run when a specific action is triggered in Dataverse (on-premise). Is it possible to use DvBrowser with on-premise Dataverse? If not, is there an alternative tool that works for this use case?

What I've tried:

Downloaded DvBrowser from the GitHub repo.
Tried connecting using my on-premise instance URL.
The connection fails (no detailed error shown).

Any recommendations please?

Use XrmToolBox + Plugin Trace Viewer or Profiler Plugin:
1. XrmToolBox

Download from: https://www.xrmtoolbox.com/

Install these plugins inside it:

Plugin Trace Viewer – to inspect all plugins/workflows triggered.

Plugin Profiler – to trace synchronous & async plugin executions.

Workflow Inspector – for classic workflows (not Power Automate flows).

2. Steps to Inspect Plugin Execution:

Enable plugin trace logging in CRM:

Go to Settings > Administration > System Settings > Customization.

Set Plugin Trace Log to All.

Perform the action in CRM.

Open Plugin Trace Viewer from XrmToolBox.

Connect to your on-premise org (uses IFD or direct server connection).

Inspect logs and trace details.
