6365 Please copy and paste any/all relevant from the DEBUG level log output.
6466 Even if your issue does not seem to be shown in the logs you should still add as much detail as possible, a _lack_ of issues in logs may be a good hint during debugging.
6565- Your logs will be automatically formatted into code, do not need use backticks.
6767+ Your logs will be automatically formatted into code. Do not use fenced code blocks (backticks).

44+55+## Getting Useful Data
66+77+### Logs
88+99+Multi-scrobbeler has a real-time log shown in the dashboard. These are the same logs you would find in docker logs. In the dashboard, logs can be filtered by LEVELS to give you a better view of errors/warnings.
1010+1111+When creating an issue please include all logs at the lowest level possible (DEBUG) to help provide context for your issue. You should try to include logs that occurred *before* and *after* your issue/error occurs as this can help determine if MS was behaving normally.
1212+1313+### Debug Mode
1414+1515+If possible, turn on [**Debug Mode**](/configuration#debug-mode) and replicate your issue. Debug Mode enables *much more* logging that can reveal additional data for troubleshooting.
1616+1717+This mode will make your logs very noisy, though, so it's recommended to turn it off after collecting logs.
1818+1919+### Copy Play Debug Data
2020+2121+From the dashboard, each Source/Client has a few details page links:
2222+2323+<img src={require('/img/details.jpg').default} height="400"/>
2424+2525+Opening the details page for the Source/Client reveals a lists all of the Plays that were discovered (Sources) or scrobbled (Clients).
2626+2727+Click on the Debug icon to copy debugging data relevant to that Play. This data should be included in any issue you create.
2828+2929+<img src={require('/img/debug_button.jpg').default} height="400"/>
3030+3131+To include this data in an issue either paste the copied data into a text file and save as `debugdata.json`, attaching to the issue.
3232+3333+Or directly paste the copied data into an issue/comment using [**fenced code blocks**](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/working-with-advanced-formatting/creating-and-highlighting-code-blocks#fenced-code-blocks) markdown to preserve the structure like:
3434+3535+````
3636+This is the contents of my comment/issue text on github.
