You can use the capture filter settings to control which types of items are captured in Burp Logger.
You can configure the Logger capture filter in two different ways:
Items that are not captured will be discarded from Logger. Burp can't retrieve these items even if the capture filter is removed.
To filter the items that Logger captures, click on the Capture filter bar in the Logger tab. This opens the Logger capture filter window.
On the Settings mode tab, you can apply a capture filter using the following options:
You can specify a limit to the memory used by Logger. Once the limit is reached, Logger discards the oldest entries as new entries are created. The default limit is 50MB (or 100MB, if you give Burp Suite access to at least 1GB of memory).
To change the capture limit, select a preset option from the drop-down, or type a specific value.
Allocating a large amount of memory to Logger can cause performance issues.
We recommend that you only increase the amount of memory when you have a specific issue that requires a large number of entries.
Choose which request types Logger captures. You can select from:
Choose which MIME type Logger captures, such as HTML or XML.
Choose which status codes Logger captures.
Choose which other Burp tools Logger captures items from. This enables you to discard traffic from a noisy tool, or direct Logger to capture traffic from one tool only. By default, all tools are selected.
Choose to capture only records that contain a specific search term:
Choose whether or not to discard session handling requests.
Limit the size of requests or responses that Logger captures. The default maximum size for items is 1MB. To change the maximum size of items Logger captures, select a preset option from the drop-down.
On the Script mode tab, you can apply Java-based scripts to create custom capture filters for Logger. For more information, see Configuring the Logger capture filter with scripts.
