# How do I enable debugging in Asterisk for error evaluation? If you encounter telephony issues with your Asterisk, you'll need to execute commands in your Asterisk console to diagnose the issue. **To do so, please use the following two commands** * sip set debug * core set verbose 10 **If you are still working with the Asterisk version 1.2, please use the following two commands instead** * sip debug * set verbose 10 Once you've entered the above commands, please make a test call or two. The log messages for these calls now appearing on the console should be able to assist you in diagnosing the problem. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
