# Debugging

`@vgs/collect-react-native` provides customizable configuration options to debug and log potential issues. By default, all logging options are disabled.

The SDK only prints formatted logs to your console. It does not record your activity to any persistent storage or local files, and it does not send your logging activity to any server.

You can turn on logging warnings and errors via `VGSCollectLogger`:

```swift
// Enable VGSCollect SDK logs. Do not use in production!!!
if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
  VGSCollectLogger.getInstance().enable();
}
```

> You may always debug your setup using [Access Logger](/vault/http-proxy/access-logger.md), by reviewing requests statuses, payload diffs, matched information etc.

## Disable logging

To disable all logging activities, use the `disable()` function:

```swift
VGSCollectLogger.getInstance().disable();
```

> You should NOT use logging in your production configurations for live applications.

## 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.verygoodsecurity.com/vault/developer-tools/vgs-collect/react-native-sdk/debugging.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.
