Is there a way to set Fiddler software to log only "localhost" and not all the web traffic ?

Thanks,

Yes you can. Fiddler has a filters option in which you can specify the name of your computer. Here's the steps:

  1. Make sure you have the latest version of fiddler
  2. Click on the "Filters" tab (in the same line of Inspectors).
  3. Click on "Use Filters"
  4. In the text area enter the name of your computer.
  5. Left click on the request area (so it will be saved).

If everything went well, fiddler has a green arrow on the Filters tab. Just browse to the website using your machine name so instead of:

http://localhost/MySite

Go to

http://my-machine-name/MySite
