I have on several occasions run across problems where I want to see the request data for a http request made while I had the Chrome Developer Tools closed, for instance to detect if I request a just made is running slow or has failed completely.

Is there a way I can get Chrome to always track the data in Networking Panel so it's present when I open the Developer Tools without having to reload the page and make new requests?

No, this is not possible directly.

You have to have DevTools open for it to log requests. There is a work-around though: This is similar to https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=178918 - use remote debugging locally (https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/debugger-protocol#remote).

As an option, you can use --auto-open-devtools-for-tabs flag when launching Chrome.
