Managing the Chrome Extension after Installation

Extension Login

The Fiddler Jam extension can be used entirely anonymously without the explicit need for a user account and authentication. However, using a single account for the Fiddler Jam extension and Fiddler Jam portal provides the advantage of efficiently managing your previously captured logs through the My Captures section. Authenticated users that also have associated Jam portal accounts can directly upload recorded logs to a Jam workspace.

Login into the Fiddler Jam extension as follows:

• Install and start the Fiddler Jam extension.
• Click on the account icon on the top-right corner of the extension.
• Login with your Fiddler Jam account.

My Captures

The My Captures section provides easy access to previously recorded logs. The Fiddler Jam logs are listed in order by time of appearance, and each entry has the following options:

• A log entry can be viewed and managed in the Fiddler Jam portal through the link button. Applicable only for active portal users.
• A log entry can be permanently deleted through the delete button and an explicit deletion confirmation.

  The deletion will remove the log for the extensions My Captures section and any Fiddler Jam portal workspace where the log was added. The deletion is permanent and irreversible.

Note that some of the functionalities like a quick link to the log to the Fiddler Jam portal are available only for active portal users. However, the captured logs will be availalbe in the My Captures section for authenticated and unauthenticated users, and will remain on the machine unless deleted or explicitly removed from the machine storage.

2. In the expanded menu, click Manage Extensions.
3. Type Fiddler Jam in the search bar or directly select the Fiddler Jam Chrome Extension.

Setting the Site Access

The Site Access Extension settings enable you to limit the extension for a specific site. The on click option is not applicable for the Fiddler Jam Chrome Extension as it does not allow you to permit access to the mandatory backend endpoints. Most Chrome exceptions are available on all sites, and you can manage them through the On all sites option.

To use Fiddler Jam on specific sites only, scroll down to Site access, select the On specific site option, and add the required endpoints:
