# Logging

To assist in the monitoring of events in AD Bridge during the testing and configuration phase, we recommend enabling the debug logging.

 On the Configuration tab under Service Options check the Debug Logging selection.

On the main menu select Bridge Log.

When activity in the AD Bridge is activated from selecting **Publish** you will start to see the logging information.&#x20;
