You can use a network tracing application such as Fiddler to capture the logs. Before installing any 3rd party applications, please discuss with your IT administrators. 
  1. Download and install Fiddler from https://www.telerik.com/download/fiddler
  2. Start Fiddler when the install completes. You do not need to keep it running normally. Go to Start and search for "Fiddler".
  3. Inside Fiddler, go to Tools > Options > HTTPS (tab).
  4. On the HTTPS tab, check the Capture HTTPS CONNECTs check box.
  5. Check the box for Decrypt HTTPS traffic and verify the drop-down option says "...from all processes".
  6. While in the same HTTPS tab, click on the Actions button, then Reset All Certificates.
  7. Click OK and accept all the prompts about deleting and trusting Fiddler's root certificate.
  8. Once the certificates have been trusted, click OK to close the Options.
  9.  Back in the main Fiddler window, click the X icon at the top and then select Remove all to clear sessions
  10.  Reproduce the issue while the capture is running. 
  11. After reproducing the issue, go back to Fiddler and go to File > Save > All Sessions. Save the file as .saz to your desktop.
