    Is there a log file that records HTTP requests and responses, similar to Apache's access.log? We need to see the body of request and response to troubleshoot API calls.

    We're using the Service Now plugin for Aria Automation with an Aria Automation 8.18.0 instance. When we deploy a catalog item through Service Now, it fails. Service Now doesn't give a detailed error message, just a single line:

    Error: Method failed: (/catalog/api/items/d6f35e24-bb65-365b-a130-09e191d97f7b/request) with code: 401 - Invalid username/password combo

    We made the API call manually with a Curl command, and it succeeded. Our next step is to see the raw HTTP request that Service Now sent to our server. We want to see things like: what API token was sent; how the body was formatted; what the API sent as a response; and so on. 

    I can't find this information anywhere. Is there a debug option I need to enable? Or is there a log file I haven't looked yet?
