# Analyse HTTP traffic

{% hint style="info" %}
To aid troubleshooting and show where generated traffic is sent, all related requests and responses are logged and can be viewed in the [Burp Suite Logger](https://portswigger.net/burp/documentation/desktop/tools/logger).
{% endhint %}

## Method 1: Automatic analysis via active scanning

1. Go to the `AI scanner` tab.
2. Configure the role and prompt template used for scan requests.
3. Confirm that `Test request` succeeds in `Provider settings`.
4. Click `Scan: On` to register the active scan check.
5. Send traffic to Burp's active scanner.

The extension resolves placeholders such as `{REQUEST}` and `{RESPONSE}` before sending the prompt to the configured model provider. See [Use placeholder reference](/how-to/use-placeholder-reference.md) for the full list.

## Method 2: Targeted manual analysis

1. Right-click on any request or response in Burp Suite.
2. Navigate to `Extensions → BurpGPT Pro → Scan with AI (results in Target → Site map)`.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Using this approach, completion results will appear uniquely under the relevant entries in `Target → Site map`, as well as in the `All issues` section of Burp Suite.
{% endhint %}

## Method 3: Interactive AI Chat

Open any HTTP request editor tab that supports extension editors, then select `AI Chat`. You can ask follow-up questions about the selected traffic and choose whether to include the current request, response, or both with your next message.

If analysis does not produce the expected output, see [Troubleshooting](/help-and-faq/troubleshooting.md).
