  1. Open Google Chrome and navigate to the problematic web interface.
  2. Inspect the page. One method is to right-click on any part of the webpage and choose "Inspect" from the drop-down menu that appears. Alternatively, if you're using Windows or Linux, you can use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + I. For MacOS users, the shortcut is Command + Option + I.
  3. Navigate to the "Console" tab in the newly opened Developer Tools pane.
  4. Reproduce the issue, with the console tab open. If the issue is that the page does not load, be sure to refresh the page.
  5. Right-click within the console and select "Save as...".
  6. Send this
  7. file to IBM Support.

Google Chrome Network Data:

  1. Repeat steps 1 to 3 above, but this time, navigate to the "Network" tab in the Developer Tools pane.
  2. Ensure that the 'record' button (depicted as a circle and located in the top left of the panel) is enabled, as this allows for the capturing of network data.
  3. Reproduce the problem you've been facing, with the network tab opened and recording. 
  4. Once you've replicated the problem, right-click anywhere in the network tab and select "Save as HAR with Content".Save the HAR file to an appropriate location.
  5. Provide this HAR file to IBM Support with the previously saved console log file.

Note: Be sure to start the recording before you reproduce the issue. If the recording was not started, you must reproduce the issue again.
