===== Debugging =====
FIXME <this page is under construction> 

Before you start debugging, we advise you to use our [[resources:tools:logtool|Harvest Inspector]]. If the inspector finds many errors, follow the steps in this guide to improve your farming. 

==== How to enable your Chia debug log? ====

  - Navigate to the config.yaml file in your .chia folder. 
     * For Windows: ''C:\Users\<username>\.chia\mainnet\config''
     * For Linux: ''~/.chia/mainnet/log/config''
     * For Mac: ''/Users/<username>/.chia/mainnet/config''
  - Open the file called "config.yaml"
  - Find a line called "log_level: WARNING" and change this to "log_level: INFO" and hit save
  - Restart Chia for the change to take effect.

Now you can see detailed information in your Chia debug log, which is found in the chia folder.

  * For Windows: the default path is ''C:\Users\<username>\.chia\mainnet\log\debug.log'' 
  * For Linux:  the default path is ''~/.chia/mainnet/log/debug.log''
  * For Mac: the default path is ''/Users/<username>/.chia/mainnet/log/debug.log''

==== What to look for in the logs? ====

A complete list of logging messages can be found here: https://github.com/Chia-Network/chia-blockchain/wiki/Logging-Messages-Reference


==== Debugging using PowerShell ====
Scanning your debug log with ''tail | grep'' in PowerShell is perhaps the easiest way to aggregate the information you are looking for.

For monitoring your harvester timing, for example, use

'' Get-Content -Path "~\.chia\mainnet\log\debug.log" -Wait | Select-String -Pattern "found"''

And for finding errors, use

''Get-Content -Path "~\.chia\mainnet\log\debug.log" | Select-String -Pattern "error"''

==== Third party tools ====
Also you can use third-party tools to check your logs. Use at your own risk and consult our [[guides:security|security page]].
