How to view the "Recs Box" for debugging Target Recommendations with AEP Web SDK?
I'm struggling to find an efficient way to debug Recommendations. With at.js, I used mboxTrace, which provided a very clear "Recs Box" showing exactly which criteria were used, which entities were returned, and why certain items were excluded.
Now that I'm using Web SDK and the AEP Debugger, I find the debugging process much more difficult. I can see the network calls, but I miss that high-level summary of the Recommendations logic.
What I've tried:
-
Using the AEP Debugger Extension to look at Edge Traces.
-
Digging through the interact response payloads in the Network tab.
My Questions:
-
Is there a way to get a visual "Recs box" similar to the old mboxTrace functionality in at.js?
-
In the AEP Debugger, where exactly should I look to see the Criteria details and Exclusion reasons for a specific Recommendations activity?
-
Are there any third-party tools or specific "Edge Trace" configurations that make the JSON output more readable for Recs-heavy implementations?
-
How do you effectively validate that the
entity.idbeing passed in the current session is actually being used by the algorithm in real-time?
