h1. Rawlog Dialog
!rawlog.png!
The Rawlog dialog is used to debug AdiIRC and/or monitor raw IRC messages from/to IRC servers.
Rawlog can be opened from [[Menubar_Control|Menubar]] Menubar -> File -> Rawlog or by typing [[/rawlog]].
The rawlog will automatically re-open if it was open the last time AdiIRC was closed.
By default only new debug/raw messages will be added, a buffer can be kept in memory by typing [[/setoption]] Misc RawlogBuffer N .. where N is the number of lines to keep. (setting N to 0 disables the buffer)
_See also [[/rawlog]], [[/debug]], [[ScriptsDebug_Dialog|Scripts Debugger]]._
h2. Debug tab
The debug tab in the right listbox shows AdiIRC debug data.
h2. Server tabs
Each open server will have it's own tab in the listbox, it will list all incoming/outgoing raw IRC messages from/to the IRC server.
It can be useful for finding out if raw messages are being sent/received properly.
Outgoing messages are marked with the *<notextile>-></notextile>* prefix, and incoming messages are marked with the *<<notextile>-</notextile>* prefix.

h2. Debug information in memory
By default the last 100 lines in the "Debug" tab is always saved in memory and added to the Rawlog when it opens.
It's possible to increase this value and add the last X lines from each server to memory as well by typing [[/setoption]] Misc RawlogBuffer N in the [[Editbox Control|Editbox]], where N is a number.
h2. Automatically save debug tab data to file
Create a file called *debug.txt* in your AdiIRC config folder and the data from the debug tab will be automatically written to the file in real time.
_This file can become big, either delete it when it's no longer necessary or clear it periodically._
