Enabling Net Logging

Overview

A NetLog dump is a log file of network-level events and states.  You may be asked to provide this log when experiencing page load or performance problems. 

NOTE: In order for the net-log to write successfully to the JSON file, the application must be closed completely. 

Solution

• Add the following flag to the runtime arguments within the application manifest and specify the folder where it will be saved:

--log-net-log=c:\\someDirectory\\net.json --net-log-capture-mode=Everything

• Please note that the file "net.json" has to exist before the Net logs are written
• You are then able to import the log created via https://netlog-viewer.appspot.com/#import
• Alternatively, the setting can be applied to a single user via the system registry:

HKCU\software\openfin\rvm\runtimeArgs = '--log-net-log=c:\someDirectory\net.json --net-log-capture-mode=Everything'
