Generating a HAR File for Troubleshooting

When troubleshooting complex issues, we might ask you to create and submit a HAR (HTTP Archive) file recorded while the issue is occuring. A HAR file is a log of network requests that provides us with necessary additional information about the network requests that are generated in your browser while an issue occurs.

This guide provides information on how to easily generate and submit a HAR file for different browsers.

Please keep in mind that HAR files may contain sensitive data, including the content of the pages you downloaded while recording, your cookies and all the information that you submitted while recording.

  2. From the Chrome menu bar select View → Developer → Developer Tools
  3. Select the Network tab on the panel that opened up in your screen.
  4. Look for the round Record button in the upper left corner of the panel. Make sure that the button is red, if it is grey click it to start recording.
  5. Check the box next to Preserve Log
  6. Click the Clear button, located next to the record button, in order to clear out any existing logs from the Network tab.
  7. Try to reproduce the issue you were experiencing before, while the network requests are recorded.
  8. Once you have reproduced the issue, right click anywhere on the grid of network requests, select Save as HAR with Content, and save the file to your computer.
  9. Upload your HAR file to your support ticket or attach it to your email so that we can analyze it.
