How can we easily see the Request and Response of external APIs?

@JLRodr?guezMart?nez

We can find it in following ways,

1. From Tracer Connector Step Method \> Parameter page \> pyRequestData & Param.ResponseData

2. By Enabling Connector Logs in Admin Studio \> Pega logs

→ com.pega.pegarules.integration.engine.internal.connect.rest.RESTConnector  
 → Rule\_Obj\_Activity.pyInvokeRESTConnector.Rule\_Connect\_REST.Action

1. Set a Request & Response Log-Message to Pega logs, Same can view from Kibana

2. Check If your application logs are flowing to Splunk use Indexes to Search API details
