Generating a HAR file with logs

In case of UI issues, you can contact Orchestration Engine support team. The team may ask you to provide a HAR (HTTP ARchive format) file with logs generated from your browser. Generating a HAR file helps us to identify the issues. The HAR file is stored in JSON format and contains information about the web browser's interactions with a web server.

You can generate a HAR file from any browser. Here are some examples.

Note

To maintain privacy and ensure no sensitive data is stored, it's best if you create your HAR file in a private mode of your browser.
