Is anyone using Omnibug (Chrome Extension)?

If so, do you recommend it for debugging tags?

What are the pros and cons?

Are there better alternatives? Does Adobe offering something similar?

Thanks!

Is there a version of the debugger that works when there is a POST done instead of a GET?

This is a HUGE issue in my shop because I get calls all the time that the analytics don't work on the pages because the debugger says there are 'no requests found'

maybe if the adobe officially supported debugger said 'no GET images. Please check for POST images' or something like that but even better would be a way to either show the POST data or allow a knowledgeable user force a GET even if data is truncated. Its better to get some data and see if it working than no data at all

You can use HTTP monitoring tools such as Fiddler (https://www.telerik.com/download/fiddler) or Charles (http://www.charlesproxy.com/).
These tools will parse GET or POST values and also you can check the values from real mobile devices without using emulators.

Hi

Please have a look at Adobe Debugger tool:

Link:-https://marketing.adobe.com/resources/help/en_US/sc/implement/debugger.html

//The Adobe Debugger (previously DigitalPulse Debugger) is a free tool provided by Adobe that lets you view the data being collected from your site on any given page. When executed in your browser, it shows the image requests that transmitted data from that page into Marketing Cloud solutions, along with any variable values or parameters that were captured. This allows you and your developers to check the validity of your implementation on any page on your site.The DigitalPulse Debugger is officially supported for use in all recent versions and builds of Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Safari.

I hope this would help you.

Thanks and Regards

HI Warren,

Are you using Omnibug to get around this issue? If so, what is your overall experience with it?

neither omnibug or the adobe debugger (or the observepoint tag debugger) will work to decode POST entries. Only when the image is sent via a GET is a debugger able to decode the image.

This is not a issue for customers of you site since they aren't looking at this data. it's only an issue for your people looking to make sure that data is being collected correctly.
