Synthetic Recorder doesn't work with a http only webpage

Platform Synthetic Monitoring

Hello.  When I try to record a browser clickpath in a http only webpage I get a message of Chrome with a warning and a button to go to the page, but when I try to click in the button It doesn´t do anything.  Have anyone experience something similar?

This behaviour is only seen for this page from an InCognito window. Please can you disable using an Incognito Window while recording this monitor? To do this:

  1. Paste chrome://extensions/ into your Chrome address bar and select Enter.
  2. On the Dynatrace Synthetic Recorder tile, select Details.
  3. Disable Allow in incognito.

You will then need to refresh the Browser Window that you are recording in and then retry the recording. This behaviour is not seen when the monitor is run on private or public locations as they do not use InCognito mode.

Thanks a lot. It works. I didn’t try this because I thought that the recordings run in location in incognito mode, but I was wrong. It’s good to know it.

That’s great news. Yes, we only use Incognito for local recording and playback so the cookies etc from your Browser don’t affect it. The executions run on locations start with a clean Browser instance every time so we don’t need to worry about it there.
