Traffic Monitor (Traffic Viewer)

OpenText DAST normally displays in the navigation pane only the hierarchical structure of the website or web service, plus those sessions in which a vulnerability was discovered. The Traffic Monitor or Traffic Viewer enables you to display and review every HTTP request sent by OpenText DAST and the associated HTTP response received from the web server.

The Traffic Monitor or Traffic Viewer is not available if Traffic Monitor Logging was not enabled prior to conducting the scan. You can enable the feature in the default settings (click Edit > Default Settings > Settings > General) or when you start a scan through the Scan Wizard (by selecting Enable Traffic Monitor on the Detailed Scan Configuration window under Settings).

Traffic session data in Traffic Viewer

The original Traffic Monitor has been converted into a standalone Traffic Viewer tool that incorporates functionality from both the original Traffic Monitor and the WebProxy tool. Traffic session files for the standalone Traffic Viewer use a different format than the Traffic Monitor. For more information about the standalone Traffic Viewer tool, refer to the Traffic Viewer tool online help or the OpenText™ Dynamic Application Security Testing Tools Guide.

Viewing traffic in the Traffic Viewer

To view the traffic session data in the Traffic Viewer:

• In the Scan Info panel for an open scan, click Traffic Monitor.

  The Traffic Viewer tool opens with the traffic session data in view.
