Description

When troubleshooting an issue with Integration - Connect, you might use the Fiddler tool to capture information that is not captured in the Scribe agent logs. This information could contain sensitive data, such as usernames, passwords, or personally identifiable information. Before sharing the Fiddler traces with anyone for analysis purposes, it is good practice to edit the trace and remove the sensitive information as that helps to protect the security of data and maintain data privacy in general. 

To edit a Fiddler trace
  1. Open the saved trace in Fiddler.
  2. In the upper right pane, click the Inspectors tab and RAW tab. 
  3. In the bottom right pane, click the RAW tab.
  4. On the Edit menu, select Find Sessions and input your search criteria.
  5. Click Find Sessions.
