Flexera support may need additional information about the network requests generated in your browser to troubleshoot issues such as those with APIs or timeouts and performance issues.

A member of the support team may ask you to record a HAR file, a log of network requests, while the issue occurs. It’s also helpful to include any browser console logs in addition to the HAR file. 

Use the instructions below to generate a HAR file and console logs for your browser.

IMPORTANT: HAR files contain sensitive data, including the content of your cookies and the pages you downloaded while making the recording. Anyone with access to the HAR file can impersonate your account and access all the information submitted while recording, such as personal details, passwords, and credit card numbers.

Instructions

Generate a HAR file in Chrome

  1. Navigate to the page where you’re having the issue.
  2. Right-click the page and select Inspect to open Chrome Developer Tools.
