Why is that useful? Doesn't your web app or web framework already log requests?


Most of the time request bodies do not get logged, because they often contain sensitive information.

The logging in ngrok also comes with a "replay request" button, which is very nice when you're testing webhooks that are a pain to fire.


It logs the headers and request body along with the response for every single route. This means if the server sending you a webhook changes routes, or sends some extra content or does something unexpected, you have immediate visibility into it and can replay the request with a single click.

Pretty nifty.
