How to Create and Share HAR Files

Create and share HAR files to enhance troubleshooting

Purpose

HAR (HTTP Archive) is a JSON-formatted archive file format for logging a web browser's interaction with a site. The common extension for these files is .har.

The Credo AI support team may ask you to record a HAR file while your issue occurs. Providing HAR files will help us replicate and diagnose the issue, speeding up troubleshooting.

Instructions for creating HAR files

This page, maintained by Okta, also provides detailed step-by-step instructions for each browser.

Instructions for sending HAR files

Give your HAR file a descriptive name, which includes your company name, the date you created the file, etc. For example, microsoft_08oct2024.har

If you already have a Slack channel with Creado AI, share the file there. Otherwise, email it to support@credo.ai.
