HttpWatch can be configured to automatically record and save log files without any user intervention. This can be useful when running automated tests or for use with non-technical users.
Automatic recording can be configured interactively using the Options dialog or through the automation interface's Plugin object.
An automatically saved log file will have a file name in the following format:
<computer name>_<user name>_<date fields>_<time fields>_<ie process id>.hwl
For example, this log file name:
wrkstat1_jsmith_2007_12_10_15_34_54_14916.hwl
indicates that the following information about the file:
| Computer Name: | wrkstat1 |
| User Name: | jsmith |
| Date saved: | December 12th, 2007 |
| Time saved: | 15:34:54 (local time) |
| Process ID of IE or Chrome Extension | 14916 |
