Generate network logs (HAR files)

When you contact Gliffy support (see Contact support), we may request that you send us an HTTP ARchive (HAR) file. These files are network logs that track your web browser's interaction with a website. These files help us troubleshoot and identify the root cause of issues with Gliffy.

You might be asked to capture both console log and a HAR file. Capturing both these files at the same time increases the usefulness of these files and provides useful information about the problem. See Capture a console log and a HAR file at the same time.

For detailed steps on how to find console logs in various web browsers, see Generate console logs.
