Generating a HAR file for troubleshooting

We may occasionally need additional information about specific network requests that are generated in your browser if you experience issues. A member of our support team may ask you to record a HAR file, or a log of network requests, while that issue occurs. It's also helpful to include any browser console logs in addition to a HAR file.

1. Open Chrome and go to the page where the issue is occurring.
2. Look for the vertical ellipsis button and select More Tools > Developer Tools.
3. From the panel that appears, select the Network tab.
4. Look for a round record button in the upper left corner of the tab, and make sure it is red. If it is grey, click the button once to start recording.
5. Check the box Preserve log.
6. Click the clear button to clear any existing logs from the network tab.
7. Reproduce the issue while the network requests are recorded.

8. Click the download button, Export HAR, to download, and save the file to your computer: Save as HAR with Content.

   

9. Add the HAR file to your email for our support team
