This tab displays all console output that was recorded in the current log file. The data recorded includes logged error, warning and information messages, along with output from the JavaScript runtime such as syntax errors, exceptions and calls to the console.* API (e.g. console.log(), console.error() etc).

In addition to basic logging, HttpWatch also captures output from more advanced console APIs including console.table(), console.count(), console.time(), console.timeLog() and console.timeEnd(). These are displayed using enhanced formatting to make the data easier to read and interpret.

Console entries can include additional metadata such as timestamps, page context and stack traces. This information is displayed in a foldable format, allowing you to expand entries to view more detail or collapse them to keep the console view concise. Where available, stack frames can be used to navigate directly to the source code that generated the console output.

Object values and structured data in console output are formatted to improve readability. Large or complex objects may be truncated in the initial view and expanded on demand.

The View menu provides options to expand or collapse all console entries and to control whether new entries are expanded by default.

Console entries are fully integrated with the rest of the log, allowing them to be correlated with network requests and page activity using consistent timing information. This makes it easier to understand the sequence of events during page load and script execution.

Console data is saved in version 16 HWL files, ensuring that all recorded output, including metadata and JavaScript activity, can be reviewed later or shared with other users.
