Anyone know what software to use to check how many knocks ECU is seeing per cylinder?

I am trying to find out what software I can use to check the knock detection history in the DME to see if a particular cylinder is seeing a higher amount of knocks and hammering on the Rod bearings. Has anyone other than tuners done this before?

I found some more info once i found out what terms to search for. It looks like bmwlogger supports knock counter on the e46 series chassis , but doesnt have any detail on anything newer. It also looks like Bavarian technic may provide knock counter meta as well. I'll dig into this further. Thanks!

I have it and I haven't seen where this feature is.

they discuss it being available for the mss45 in this old thread back in 2013. https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=793891. I was hopeful since then the mss60 would have been added at some point but i guess not. It looks like something that can be added manually with the capabilities it currently has.
