As we see, an AJAX request made and people are got successfully.

We can also check Audit Logs to see the request. Open AbpAuditLogs table in PhoneBook database to see the call information:
There are some other fields not shown here. So, we see that User with Id=2 called GetPeople method of the PersonAppService in recorded time with the shown parameters and it's executed in 134 ms.
