How to

How DebuggerOnline works

A lightweight platform for real-time log monitoring across all your systems. A quick guide to get started.

1. Sign up and log in

Create an account or log in to reach your channels and debugging configuration.

2. Create channels

A channel is a real-time console where incoming messages appear instantly.

  • Go to Channels from the menu.
  • Create a channel and give it a clear name.
  • Open it to activate it and start viewing logs.
  • Messages are only received while the channel is open.

3. Send messages

Send over HTTP POST or UDP with a simple payload:

{ "channel": "your-channel-id", "message": "your message" }

4. TCP vs. UDP

HTTP POST (TCP) guarantees delivery, with slightly higher latency. UDP has lower latency and suits high log volumes.

5. Integrations

See Integrations for examples with Android, iOS, Django, Log4j and more.

Tips

  • In mobile apps, switch on logging for specific devices with push notifications.
  • On the web, enable debug mode with per-user configuration variables.
  • On servers, turn on log sending by calling an endpoint.
  • Do not put sensitive or personal data in your logs.
