title: debug Namespace
description: methods in the debug namespace
---
The `debug` API gives you access to several non-standard RPC methods, which will allow you to inspect, debug and set certain debugging flags during runtime.
### debug_accountRange
Enumerates all accounts at a given block with paging capability. `maxResults` are returned in the page and the items have keys that come after the `start` key (hashed address).
If `incompletes` is false, then accounts for which the key preimage (i.e: the `address`) doesn't exist in db are skipped. NB: geth by default does not store preimages.
| Client | Method invocation |
| :------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Console | `debug.accountRange(blockNrOrHash, start, maxResults, nocode, nostorage, incompletes)` |
| RPC | `{"method": "debug_getHeaderRlp", "params": [blockNrOrHash, start, maxResults, nocode, nostorage, incompletes]}` |
### debug_backtraceAt
Sets the logging backtrace location. When a backtrace location is set and a log message is emitted at that location, the stack of the goroutine executing the log statement will be printed to stderr.
The location is specified as `<filename>:<line>`.
| Client | Method invocation |
| :------ | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| Console | `debug.backtraceAt(string)` |
| RPC | `{"method": "debug_backtraceAt", "params": [string]}` |
Example:
```js
> debug.backtraceAt("server.go:443")
```
### debug_blockProfile
Turns on block profiling for the given duration and writes profile data to disk. It uses a profile rate of 1 for most accurate information. If a different rate is desired, set the rate and write the profile manually using `debug_writeBlockProfile`.
| Client | Method invocation |
| :------ | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Console | `debug.blockProfile(file, seconds)` |
| RPC | `{"method": "debug_blockProfile", "params": [string, number]}` |
### debug_chaindbCompact

| Client | Method invocation |
| :------ | -------------------------------------------------- |
| Console | `debug.chaindbCompact()` |
| RPC | `{"method": "debug_chaindbCompact", "params": []}` |
### debug_chaindbProperty
Returns leveldb properties of the key-value database.
| Client | Method invocation |
| :------ | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| Console | `debug.chaindbProperty(property string)` |
| RPC | `{"method": "debug_chaindbProperty", "params": [property]}` |

| Console | `debug.cpuProfile(file, seconds)` |
| RPC | `{"method": "debug_cpuProfile", "params": [string, number]}` |
### debug_dbAncient
Retrieves an ancient binary blob from the freezer. The freezer is a collection of append-only immutable files. The first argument `kind` specifies which table to look up data from. The list of all table kinds are as follows:
- `headers`: block headers
- `hashes`: canonical hash table (block number -> block hash)
- `bodies`: block bodies
- `receipts`: block receipts
- `diffs`: total difficulty table (block number -> td)
| Client | Method invocation |
| :------ | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| Console | `debug.dbAncient(kind string, number uint64)` |
| RPC | `{"method": "debug_dbAncient", "params": [string, number]}` |
### debug_dbAncients
Returns the number of ancient items in the ancient store.
| Client | Method invocation |
| :------ | -------------------------------- |
| Console | `debug.dbAncients()` |
| RPC | `{"method": "debug_dbAncients"}` |
### debug_dbGet
Returns the raw value of a key stored in the database.
| Client | Method invocation |
| :------ | -------------------------------------------- |
| Console | `debug.dbGet(key string)` |
| RPC | `{"method": "debug_dbGet", "params": [key]}` |
### debug_dumpBlock
Retrieves the state that corresponds to the block number and returns a list of accounts (including storage and code).

| RPC | `{"method": "debug_stacks", "params": []}` |
### debug_standardTraceBlockToFile
When JS-based tracing (see below) was first implemented, the intended usecase was to enable long-running tracers that could stream results back via a subscription channel. This method works a bit differently. (For full details, see [PR](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/17914))
- It streams output to disk during the execution, to not blow up the memory usage on the node
- It uses `jsonl` as output format (to allow streaming)
- Uses a cross-client standardized output, so called 'standard json'
- Uses `op` for string-representation of opcode, instead of `op`/`opName` for numeric/string, and other simlar small differences.
- has `refund`
- Represents memory as a contiguous chunk of data, as opposed to a list of `32`-byte segments like `debug_traceTransaction`
This means that this method is only 'useful' for callers who control the node -- at least sufficiently to be able to read the artefacts from the filesystem after the fact.
The method can be used to dump a certain transaction out of a given block:
```js
> debug.standardTraceBlockToFile("0x0bbe9f1484668a2bf159c63f0cf556ed8c8282f99e3ffdb03ad2175a863bca63", {txHash:"0x4049f61ffbb0747bb88dc1c85dd6686ebf225a3c10c282c45a8e0c644739f7e9", disableMemory:true})
["/tmp/block_0x0bbe9f14-14-0x4049f61f-099048234"]
```
Or all txs from a block:
```js
> debug.standardTraceBlockToFile("0x0bbe9f1484668a2bf159c63f0cf556ed8c8282f99e3ffdb03ad2175a863bca63", {disableMemory:true})
["/tmp/block_0x0bbe9f14-0-0xb4502ea7-409046657", "/tmp/block_0x0bbe9f14-1-0xe839be8f-954614764", "/tmp/block_0x0bbe9f14-2-0xc6e2052f-542255195", "/tmp/block_0x0bbe9f14-3-0x01b7f3fe-209673214", "/tmp/block_0x0bbe9f14-4-0x0f290422-320999749", "/tmp/block_0x0bbe9f14-5-0x2dc0fb80-844117472", "/tmp/block_0x0bbe9f14-6-0x35542da1-256306111", "/tmp/block_0x0bbe9f14-7-0x3e199a08-086370834", "/tmp/block_0x0bbe9f14-8-0x87778b88-194603593", "/tmp/block_0x0bbe9f14-9-0xbcb081ba-629580052", "/tmp/block_0x0bbe9f14-10-0xc254381a-578605923", "/tmp/block_0x0bbe9f14-11-0xcc434d58-405931366", "/tmp/block_0x0bbe9f14-12-0xce61967d-874423181", "/tmp/block_0x0bbe9f14-13-0x05a20b35-267153288", "/tmp/block_0x0bbe9f14-14-0x4049f61f-606653767", "/tmp/block_0x0bbe9f14-15-0x46d473d2-614457338", "/tmp/block_0x0bbe9f14-16-0x35cf5500-411906321", "/tmp/block_0x0bbe9f14-17-0x79222961-278569788", "/tmp/block_0x0bbe9f14-18-0xad84e7b1-095032683", "/tmp/block_0x0bbe9f14-19-0x4bd48260-019097038", "/tmp/block_0x0bbe9f14-20-0x1517411d-292624085", "/tmp/block_0x0bbe9f14-21-0x6857e350-971385904", "/tmp/block_0x0bbe9f14-22-0xbe3ae2ca-236639695"]
```
Files are created in a temp-location, with the naming standard `block_<blockhash:4>-<txindex>-<txhash:4>-<random suffix>`. Each opcode immediately streams to file, with no in-geth buffering aside from whatever buffering the os normally does.
On the server side, it also adds some more info when regenerating historical state, namely, the reexec-number if `required historical state is not avaiable` is encountered, so a user can experiment with increasing that setting. It also prints out the remaining block until it reaches target:
```terminal
INFO [10-15|13:48:25.263] Regenerating historical state block=2385959 target=2386012 remaining=53 elapsed=3m30.990537767s
INFO [10-15|13:48:33.342] Regenerating historical state block=2386012 target=2386012 remaining=0 elapsed=3m39.070073163s
INFO [10-15|13:48:33.343] Historical state regenerated block=2386012 elapsed=3m39.070454362s nodes=10.03mB preimages=652.08kB
INFO [10-15|13:48:33.352] Wrote trace file=/tmp/block_0x14490c57-0-0xfbbd6d91-715824834
INFO [10-15|13:48:33.352] Wrote trace file=/tmp/block_0x14490c57-1-0x71076194-187462969
INFO [10-15|13:48:34.421] Wrote trace file=/tmp/block_0x14490c57-2-0x3f4263fe-056924484
```
The `options` is as follows:
```js
type StdTraceConfig struct {
*vm.LogConfig
Reexec *uint64
TxHash *common.Hash
}
```

| Console | `debug.storageRangeAt(blockHash, txIdx, contractAddress, keyStart, maxResult)` |

### debug_traceCall
The `debug_traceCall` method lets you run an `eth_call` within the context of the given block execution using the final state of parent block as the base. The first argument (just as in `eth_call`) is a [transaction object](/docs/interacting-with-geth/rpc/objects#transaction-call-object). The block can be specified either by hash or by number as the second argument. The trace can be configured similar to `debug_traceTransaction`, see [TraceConfig](#traceconfig). The method returns the same output as `debug_traceTransaction`.
| Client | Method invocation |
| :-----: | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Go | `debug.TraceCall(args ethapi.CallArgs, blockNrOrHash rpc.BlockNumberOrHash, config *TraceConfig) (*ExecutionResult, error)` |
| Console | `debug.traceCall(object, blockNrOrHash, [options])` |
| RPC | `{"method": "debug_traceCall", "params": [object, blockNrOrHash, {}]}` |
#### Example
No specific call options:
```js
> debug.traceCall(null, "0x0")
{
failed: false,
gas: 53000,
returnValue: "",
structLogs: []
}
```
Tracing a call with a destination and specific sender, disabling the storage and memory output (less data returned over RPC)
```js
debug.traceCall(
{
from: '0xdeadbeef29292929192939494959594933929292',
to: '0xde929f939d939d393f939393f93939f393929023',
gas: '0x7a120',
data: '0xf00d4b5d00000000000000000000000001291230982139282304923482304912923823920000000000000000000000001293123098123928310239129839291010293810'
},
'latest',
{ disableStorage: true, disableMemory: true }
);
```
It is possible to supply 'overrides' for both state-data (accounts/storage) and block data (number, timestamp etc). In the example below, a call which executes `NUMBER` is performed, and the overridden number is placed on the stack:
```js
> debug.traceCall({
from: eth.accounts[0],
value:"0x1",
gasPrice: "0xffffffff",
gas: "0xffff",
input: "0x43"},
"latest",
{"blockoverrides":
{"number": "0x50"}
})
{
failed: false,
gas: 53018,
returnValue: "",
structLogs: [{
depth: 1,
gas: 12519,
gasCost: 2,
op: "NUMBER",
pc: 0,
stack: []
}, {
depth: 1,
gas: 12517,
gasCost: 0,
op: "STOP",
pc: 1,
stack: ["0x50"]
}]
}
```
Curl example:
```sh
> curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST localhost:8545 --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"debug_traceCall","params":[null, "pending"],"id":1}'
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":{"gas":53000,"failed":false,"returnValue":"","structLogs":[]}}
```
### debug_traceChain
Returns the structured logs created during the execution of EVM between two blocks (excluding start) as a JSON object. This endpoint must be invoked via `debug_subscribe` as follows:
```js
const res = provider.send('debug_subscribe', ['traceChain', '0x3f3a2a', '0x3f3a2b'])`
```
please refer to the [subscription page](/docs/interacting-with-geth/rpc/pubsub) for more details.
### debug_traceTransaction
**OBS** In most scenarios, `debug.standardTraceBlockToFile` is better suited for tracing!
The `traceTransaction` debugging method will attempt to run the transaction in the exact same manner as it was executed on the network. It will replay any transaction that may have been executed prior to this one before it will finally attempt to execute the transaction that corresponds to the given
hash.
| Client | Method invocation |
| :------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Go | `debug.TraceTransaction(txHash common.Hash, config *TraceConfig) (*ExecutionResult, error)` |
| Console | `debug.traceTransaction(txHash, [options])` |
| RPC | `{"method": "debug_traceTransaction", "params": [txHash, {}]}` |
#### TraceConfig
In addition to the hash of the transaction you may give it a secondary _optional_ argument, which specifies the options for this specific call. The possible options are:
- `disableStorage`: `BOOL`. Setting this to true will disable storage capture (default = false).
- `disableStack`: `BOOL`. Setting this to true will disable stack capture (default = false).
- `enableMemory`: `BOOL`. Setting this to true will enable memory capture (default = false).
- `enableReturnData`: `BOOL`. Setting this to true will enable return data capture (default = false).
- `tracer`: `STRING`. Name for built-in tracer or Javascript expression. See below for more details.
If set, the previous four arguments will be ignored.
- `timeout`: `STRING`. Overrides the default timeout of 5 seconds for JavaScript-based tracing calls.
Valid values are described [here](https://golang.org/pkg/time/#ParseDuration).
- `tracerConfig`: Config for the specified `tracer`. For example see callTracer's [config](/docs/developers/evm-tracing/built-in-tracers#config).
Geth comes with a bundle of [built-in tracers](/docs/developers/evm-tracing//built-in-tracers), each providing various data about a transaction. This method defaults to the [struct logger](/docs/developers/evm-tracing/built-in-tracers#structopcode-logger). The `tracer` field of the second parameter can be set to use any of the other tracers. Alternatively a [custom tracer](/docs/developers/evm-tracing/custom-tracer) can be implemented in either Go or Javascript.
#### Example
```js
> debug.traceTransaction("0x2059dd53ecac9827faad14d364f9e04b1d5fe5b506e3acc886eff7a6f88a696a")

```
### debug_verbosity
Sets the logging verbosity ceiling. Log messages with level up to and including the given level will be printed.
The verbosity of individual packages and source files can be raised using `debug_vmodule`.
| Client | Method invocation |
| :------ | ------------------------------------------------- |
| Console | `debug.verbosity(level)` |
| RPC | `{"method": "debug_vmodule", "params": [number]}` |
### debug_vmodule
Sets the logging verbosity pattern.
| Client | Method invocation |
| :------ | ------------------------------------------------- |
| Console | `debug.vmodule(string)` |
| RPC | `{"method": "debug_vmodule", "params": [string]}` |
#### Examples
If you want to see messages from a particular Go package (directory) and all subdirectories, use:
```js
> debug.vmodule("eth/*=6")
```
If you want to restrict messages to a particular package (e.g. p2p) but exclude subdirectories, use:
```js
> debug.vmodule("p2p=6")
```
If you want to see log messages from a particular source file, use
```js
> debug.vmodule("server.go=6")
```
You can compose these basic patterns. If you want to see all output from peer.go in a package below eth (eth/peer.go, eth/downloader/peer.go) as well as output from package p2p at level <= 5, use:
```js
debug.vmodule('eth/*/peer.go=6,p2p=5');
```
### debug_writeBlockProfile
Writes a goroutine blocking profile to the given file.
| Client | Method invocation |
| :------ | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| Console | `debug.writeBlockProfile(file)` |
| RPC | `{"method": "debug_writeBlockProfile", "params": [string]}` |
### debug_writeMemProfile
Writes an allocation profile to the given file. Note that the profiling rate cannot be set through the API, it must be set on the command line using the `--pprof.memprofilerate` flag.
| Client | Method invocation |
| :------ | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| Console | `debug.writeMemProfile(file string)` |
| RPC | `{"method": "debug_writeBlockProfile", "params": [string]}` |
### debug_writeMutexProfile
Writes a goroutine blocking profile to the given file.
| Client | Method invocation |
| :------ | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| Console | `debug.writeMutexProfile(file)` |
| RPC | `{"method": "debug_writeMutexProfile", "params": [file]}` |
