Live Event Debug

Live event debug is a developer tool that shows events one by one the moment they reach the server, so instrumentation and properties can be verified.

This tool differs fundamentally from a live counter: the counter gives an aggregate number, while live event debug shows the raw stream of individual events with names and properties, and its audience is not an analyst but an engineer who has just instrumented an event and wants to see whether it arrives correctly. Its value is closing the feedback loop; without it, a developer must wait hours for data to settle into an aggregate report only to learn the event name was wrong or a property was missing. For that reason live debug is usually enabled only for the developer's own device or session, not all traffic, so the stream stays readable. It is a development-time tool, not a product report; in a live, high-traffic environment the raw event stream is too fast to analyze and serves only pointpoint validation.
