Today we’re excited to release the Snowplow Inspector to the world. This Chrome extension makes it significantly easier to debug and decode Snowplow network requests made using the Javascript tracker by adding an extra tab in Chrome Developer tools.
Features include:
- Support for both GET and POST requests (including batched POST requests)
- Support for multiple trackers on the same page
- Automatic base64 decoding and decoding/formatting of self-describing JSON
- Mapping of URL parameter short names to full names (tv => Tracker Version)
- Conversion of common values to more readable forms (0 => false, epoch to formatted timestamps)
We’re releasing this as open source under the GPLv3 license so if you run into any issues or have any feedback we’d love to hear it either here or over at the Github repository! More information here.
