This data includes LLM (Large Language Model) requests and responses, tool calls, events, and the agent's session state. The plugin saves this information in a human-readable YAML file, which can be used for debugging and analyzing the agent's behavior. + +## Usage + +To use the `DebugLoggingPlugin`, you need to import it and add it to the list of plugins when you create a `Runner`. + +```python +from google.adk.plugins import DebugLoggingPlugin + +debug_plugin = DebugLoggingPlugin(output_path="debug_logs.yaml") +runner = Runner(agent=my_agent, plugins=[debug_plugin]) +``` + +## Output Format + +The output is a YAML file where each invocation is a separate document, separated by `---`. This format makes it easy to read and share for debugging. + +## Configuration + +You can configure the `DebugLoggingPlugin` with the following parameters: + +| Parameter | Description | +| :--- | :--- | +| `output_path` | The path to the output file. The default is `adk_debug.yaml`. | +| `include_session_state` | A boolean that determines whether to include the session state in the output. | +| `include_system_instruction` | A boolean that determines whether to include system instructions in the output. | +
