You can use the view filter to control which captured items Burp Logger displays. For more information on which items Logger captures, see Configuring the Burp Logger capture filter.
Items that are not displayed because of view filter settings can be accessed by removing the view filter.
You can configure the Logger view filter in two different ways:
- Settings mode - Configure a view filter using checkboxes and drop-downs.
- Bambda mode - Apply a powerful custom view filter using Burp's Java-based Bambdas.
To filter which of the captured items are displayed, click on the View filter bar. This opens the Logger view filter window.
The View filter bar only appears when there is one or more items recorded in Logger.
Settings mode
On the Settings mode tab, you can apply a view filter using the following options:
Filter by request type
Choose which request types Logger displays. You can select from:
- Show only in-scope items. For more information on how to set your scope, see Target scope.
- Hide items without responses.
- Show only parameterized requests.
Filter by MIME type
Choose which MIME type Logger displays, such as HTML or XML.
Filter by status code
Choose which status codes Logger displays.
Filter by tool
Choose which Burp tools Logger displays items from. This enables you to ignore traffic from a noisy tool, or direct Logger to display traffic from one tool only. By default, all tools are selected.
Filter by search term
Choose to display only records that contain a specific search term:
- Regex. Specify whether the search term is a literal string or a regular expression.
- Case sensitive. Specify whether the search term is case-sensitive.
- Negative search. Display only items that do not match the search term.
Filter by file extension
Choose which types of file Logger displays, such as PHP or CSS.
Filter by annotation
Choose whether to show only items that have been annotated, either by a comment or highlight. To learn how to annotate items, see Working with Burp Logger entries.
Bambda mode
On the Bambda mode tab, you can apply Java-based Bambdas to create custom view filters for Logger. For more information, see Configuring the Logger view filter with Bambdas.
