Saving packets data to files whilst capturing

[sean]

Hi,

 

I want to save specific packets to individual files. These packets are in JSON format. Is it possible to save the packets on the fly, or can they only be saved once capturing has stopped?

 

Any help to achieve this would be appreciated. Thanks

Hey Sean,

The Fiddler Classic has an AutoSave tab that might be hidden by default. To explicitly show the tab, use View > Tabs > AutoSave. You will be able to set how often a snapshot should be created (default every five minutes) and set a target folder. The AutoSave can also be arranged through the QuickExec bar so that it could load on each FIddler startup:

prefs set fiddler.extensions.AutoSave.AlweaysOn True

The AutoSave tab only allows you to control how often a snapshot of the whole traffic is being saved and there is no fine-tuning. If you need more than that, then you can create your own extension.
