This debug can be used to display information about various application operations and the related traffic generated or received by the application entity, as well as any error messages. This tool is very useful and informative, but you must be aware of the following facts regarding its use: </span></p>

You get a tremendous amount of information, very fast, but it can severely diminish the system's performance or even render it unusable. The log all command is also quite useless since it presents overlapping information that is difficult if not impossible to interpret.</span></p><p style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 0px 0px 13px; margin: 0px 12px 5px 12px;"><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','Lucida Sans Unicode','Arial';color:#000000;display:inline-block;width:13px;margin-left:-13px">•</span><span class="f_NoramlTest">If possible, use the debug command during periods when network traffic is not at its peak and fewer critical business applications are active.
