Filtering traffic

Trace includes a dedicated Filters panel to reduce noise and focus on the requests you care about.

Open the Filters panel

From the Network screen, open Filters to configure capture and view filters.

Quick filters

  • Favorites only: show only starred requests
  • Errors only: show HTTP 4xx/5xx responses
  • Duplicates only: highlight repeated requests and refresh detection

Domain filters

Add domains to include or exclude traffic.

  • Supports wildcards like *.example.com
  • Useful for focusing on a single backend

Method and status filters

  • Filter by HTTP method (GET, POST, etc.)
  • Filter by a specific status code

Content type filters

Filter by response content type (JSON, HTML, images, and more) to focus on a specific payload type.

Saved presets

Save a filter configuration and reuse it later from the Saved Presets list.

Tip

Combine domain + method + status filters to find a single endpoint quickly.

Example filters

  • Only API errors: domain api.example.com + status >= 400
  • Images only: content type image/*
  • Checkout flow: domain checkout.example.com + method POST

Performance tips

  • Apply filters early to reduce list size.
  • Save presets for repeated investigations.
