How [Save] all sessions every 4 hours, clear capture screen and then save sessions for the next 4 hours to investigate performance failures

Hi guys.

I investigate responses from . And Fiddler is tool for this.

But now I need logs from Fiddler for 2-5 days and compare responses.

Fiddler grabs a lot of memory during 1 day and may cause my PC out of memory.

Request:

Automate autosaving saz files 4 hours with time-date in saz name, clear capture dialog and do it in the loop each next 4 hours.

Hi S,

Unfortunately, the AutoSave functionality is in the source as a bundled extension which means that there are no overrides available. However, it is always possible to build an Extension that achieves the desired result. Note that It would require inheriting the IFiddlerExtension Interface.

Alternatively, it may be possible to build an application that does what you desire with Fiddler Core as well.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thank you.

Thanks Eric. Would it be possible for me to modify the autosave function myself to prevent the clearing/GC'ing from happening? Is this function embedded in the binaries, or is it more surface-level via FiddlerScript, for example?

Hi S,

Unfortunately, something like this isn't available at this time. This is because for each saved session Fiddler stores the entire session in memory. To keep from running out of memory, the saved Sessions are removed from the Web Sessions pane and a garbage collection operation is initiated to reclaim as much memory as possible.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thank you for sing the Fiddler Forums.

EricLaw, is it possible to prevent the AutoSave feature from clearing the session/screen?
