This article describes how to trace/capture Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows traffic using Fiddler.

What is Fiddler?

How does it work?

  • Fiddler changes the proxy settings (Internet Properties – Connections – LAN settings – Advanced) for the currently logged on user for HTTP traffic when running

  • All HTTP traffic will go through Fiddler on port 8888, i.e. Fiddler will listen on this port

For HTTPS:

  1. Download and install Fiddler on the client, from https://www.telerik.com/download/fiddler
  2. Launch Fiddler (It will start the capture automatically)
  3. Stop the capture (File > uncheck "Capture traffic") and clear the sessions (Right-click > Remove > All sessions)
  4. Follow the steps at the following link to decrypt HTTPS traffic: https://docs.telerik.com/fiddler/Configure-Fiddler/Tasks/DecryptHTTPS
  5. Start capture again  (File > check "Capture traffic")
  6. Navigate to the URL to be traced, for example https://qvserver/hub
  7. Go to File > Save > All Sessions. Save the file(file type .saz)




For HTTP:

Qlik Sense Server Setup

  2. Go to Start > Proxies
  3. Double click the node you are using
  4. Tick "Ports" in Properties menu. Tick "Allow Http" and Press Apply button

How to use Fiddler
