# Enable the Developer Log Selectively

Developer Logging is a diagnostic tool – not a permanent operating mode. Activate only the affected area and only for as long as necessary.

### Typical Scopes

<table data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>🔌 Setup</strong></td><td>Connection Test, Initial Data, and Setup Suggestions.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>🛍️ Catalog</strong></td><td>Products, Variants, Media, Related Items, and Categories.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>📦 Inventory</strong></td><td>Inventory and MSI Inventory.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>🧾 Sales</strong></td><td>Orders, Shipments, Invoices, and Credit Memos.</td></tr></tbody></table>

### Targeted Diagnosis

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Enable the master switch**

On the Magento Configuration, turn on **Developer Log**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Open Developer Log Setup**

Activate only the required scope; enable Request Data only when genuinely needed.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Reproduce one operation**

Execute exactly one item, order, or download so the log stays manageable.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Evaluate request and response**

Compare URL, HTTP status, error message, and business context.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Disable logging again**

Turn off scopes and the master switch after the analysis.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Two Logging Paths

Older API calls and parts of the download process use the master switch directly. Newer calls additionally evaluate the scope. Therefore, activated scopes alone are not always sufficient.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Log Successful Calls** and **Log Failed Calls** are not reliably evaluated as filters in all API paths in version 27.10.0.16. Check the actual log volume.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
API logs may contain complete requests and responses with customer, address, and document data. The connector has no built-in automatic retention or cleanup job. Access, retention, and manual cleanup must be governed by organizational policy.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.solutioo.de/magento-2-api-connector/magento2_en_us/troubleshooting-and-support/enable-the-developer-log-selectively.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
