# netLog
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> Logging network events for a session.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Process: [Main](../glossary.md#main-process)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const { app, netLog } = require('electron')
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
app.whenReady().then(async () => {
 | 
						|
  await netLog.startLogging('/path/to/net-log')
 | 
						|
  // After some network events
 | 
						|
  const path = await netLog.stopLogging()
 | 
						|
  console.log('Net-logs written to', path)
 | 
						|
})
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
See [`--log-net-log`](command-line-switches.md#--log-net-logpath) to log network events throughout the app's lifecycle.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Note:** All methods unless specified can only be used after the `ready` event
 | 
						|
of the `app` module gets emitted.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Methods
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `netLog.startLogging(path[, options])`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `path` string - File path to record network logs.
 | 
						|
* `options` Object (optional)
 | 
						|
  * `captureMode` string (optional) - What kinds of data should be captured. By
 | 
						|
    default, only metadata about requests will be captured. Setting this to
 | 
						|
    `includeSensitive` will include cookies and authentication data. Setting
 | 
						|
    it to `everything` will include all bytes transferred on sockets. Can be
 | 
						|
    `default`, `includeSensitive` or `everything`.
 | 
						|
  * `maxFileSize` number (optional) - When the log grows beyond this size,
 | 
						|
    logging will automatically stop. Defaults to unlimited.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Returns `Promise<void>` - resolves when the net log has begun recording.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Starts recording network events to `path`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `netLog.stopLogging()`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Returns `Promise<void>` - resolves when the net log has been flushed to disk.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Stops recording network events. If not called, net logging will automatically end when app quits.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Properties
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `netLog.currentlyLogging` _Readonly_
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
A `boolean` property that indicates whether network logs are currently being recorded.
