How to Capture Chrome Browser Logs

If you’re experiencing issues displaying your Arreya content in your desktop web browser, we may ask you to capture one or more Chrome browser logs. Below are a few types of logs, and how to capture them to send to us if our support team requests it.

Chrome Network Log

This log type will help determine if assets or hosts are being blocked from loading. This can be due to a firewall, network configuration or other upstream networking issue.
