QGIS Network Logger Built into QGIS 3.14 as Network Logger

QGIS 3.14 and later do the main job of QGIS Network Logger natively, with Network Logger. You can use that instead of installing the plugin. Press F12 to open the development tools panel and inspect every network request QGIS makes.

How to use Network Logger

  1. Press F12 to open the Debugging/Development Tools panel.
  2. Open the Network Logger tab and click Record Log.
  3. Use QGIS as usual. Each request is listed with its reply status, headers, errors, timeouts and cache status.
  4. Right-click a request to open its URL in a browser or copy it as a cURL command.
  5. Save Log… exports the log. QGIS warns first that the log is sensitive, so treat the file as confidential.
