I’m trying to use Fiddler to capture traffic for a Microsoft
Support case. I’ve installed Fiddler, and I can see it work when browsing
with Firefox, but I am unable to see HTTPS traffic which is being sent from my
Java application. I have attempted to install the Fiddler certificate –
it seems to be present – but I still don’t see the traffic.
Here are the details of my setup:
I work on a Windows
laptop.
On this laptop, I have
an Ubuntu 20.04 Linux VM running in VMWare. My application runs
here.
My Windows laptop is
logged into my corporate network over a VPN.
I’ve installed Fiddler
on Linux.
I’ve downloaded and
installed the Fiddler certificate as instructed here: https://docs.telerik.com/fiddler-everywhere/get-started/quickstart-linux#capturing-secure-traffic
This refers to a “system proxy” – I don’t know much about
this, or whether any changes need to be made to that.
I’m trying to capture traffic that goes over TLS to a few
Microsoft APIs (login.microsoftonline.com, graph.microsoft.com).
I don’t see any errors in the logs from Fiddler, and I’m
really not sure what I might be doing wrong. I haven’t found anything
useful for this problem on stackoverflow or in the Fiddler discussion pages.

Capturing traffic from Firefox means that the Fiddler Everywhere proxy works as expected and that you probably need to configure your Java app to respect the system proxy. Refer to this article for more instructions on how to configure the Java application to respect the Fiddler proxy and certificate:
Alternative approaches can be found here but note that you will have to change the proxy port to 8866, as the instructions are written for Fiddler Classic, which uses 8888.
