How to generate a HAR file to troubleshoot issues

Steps

NOTE:
Everything you do in the page, while you are reproducing the problem, is recorded, including sensitive data.
If the problem to be reproduced is related to the login page, for example, username and password can be collected and stored in the HAR file.
Before you send the file to IBM, open it with a text editor, search for your username and password (by using the editor's search) and replace with "XXXXXXXXX". Erasing instead of replacing, or erasing any other text or lines might cause the file to get corrupted and unusable.
