Enabling Web Application Usage Tracking

1. Open the application URL

Open any page on the website (web application) you are testing. After the page has loaded, the LogDigger button will be in the Disabled state .

2. Enable LogDigger tracking for the site

After it has been enabled, LogDigger will reload the current page and look for LogDigger settings on the site.

Note

The Firefox version of the LogDigger extension currently does not reload the page automatically, so you will need to do it manually. (If you don’t, LogDigger will look for settings the next time you click on a button on the site.) This will be fixed in the next update.

3. Allow session tracking

If the connection to the LogDigger Server is established successfully, you will be asked to confirm that you want to allow your site usage session to be recorded:

Click Yes to continue.

Note

If this message does not appear and the LogDigger button is still in Standby mode , it means that LogDigger didn’t receive valid settings from the server. In that case, you can specify LogDigger Server settings manually.

4. Enter your issue tracker credentials

If you haven’t used logged into your issue tracker via LogDigger before, you will be asked to provide your login details for it:

Enter your username and password, select whether you want LogDigger to remember your details, and click Finish.

Note

LogDigger does not store your login credentials at any point, even if you choose the Remember option. See the FAQ for details.

LogDigger Server will verify your credentials in the external issue tracker and, if successful, start recording your usage of the site. The LogDigger button will change to Go mode|btGreen|.

Once enabled, site usage tracking applies to all requests to the tracked site until LogDigger is disabled.
