Using Offline Debug

This pageapplies toApigee andApigee hybrid.

View Apigee Edge documentation.

The Offline Debug tool lets you view and analyze "offline" debug sessions that were previously downloaded in theDebug view in the Proxy Editor. A saved debug session is essentially a "recording" of a debug session, and can be useful for cases where troubleshooting and further analysis is required. The UI for the Offline Debug tool is similar to theDebug view in the Proxy Editor.

To learn about the Debug Tool UI and on downloading debug sessions, see Using Debug.

To view downloaded debug data using Offline Debug:

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to theProxy development> Offline Debug page.

    Go to Offline Debug

  3. To load data into theOffline Debug view, clickOpen Debug Session, select a previously downloaded offline debug session file in JSON format, and then clickOpen.

    Note: When you download a debug session in the Proxy EditorDebug view, the name of the download file has the formdebug-{session ID}.json, where{session id} is the ID of the debug session; however, you can rename the file if you wish.

    The Apigee UI loads the debug file's data and displays all of the transactions in the list in theTransactions panel.

From here, you can explore the debug session just as you would for a newly-created debug session. See Creating a debug session for more information.
