# Debug
The following describes how to use the [delve][1] debugger with telegraf
during development. Delve has many, very well documented [subcommands][2] and
options.

## CLI
To run telegraf manually, users can run:
```bash
go run ./cmd/telegraf --config config.toml
```
To attach delve with a similar config users can run the following. Note the
additional `--` to specify flags passed to telegraf. Additional flags need to
go after this double dash:
```bash
$ dlv debug ./cmd/telegraf -- --config config.toml
Type 'help' for list of commands.
(dlv)
```
At this point a user could set breakpoints and continue execution.
## Visual Studio Code
Visual Studio Code's [go language extension][20] includes the ability to easily
make use of [delve for debugging][21]. Check out this [full tutorial][22] from
the go extension's wiki.
A basic config is all that is required along with additional arguments to tell
Telegraf where the config is located:
```json
{
// Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
// Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.

"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Launch Package",
"type": "go",
"request": "launch",
"mode": "auto",
"program": "${fileDirname}",
"args": ["--config", "/path/to/config"]
}
]
}
```

## GoLand
JetBrains' [GoLand][30] also includes full featured [debugging][31] options.
The following is an example debug config to run Telegraf with a config:
```xml
<component name="ProjectRunConfigurationManager">
<configuration default="false" name="build &amp; run" type="GoApplicationRunConfiguration" factoryName="Go Application">
<module name="telegraf" />
<working_directory value="$PROJECT_DIR$" />
<parameters value="--config telegraf.conf" />
<kind value="DIRECTORY" />
<package value="github.com/influxdata/telegraf" />
<directory value="$PROJECT_DIR$/cmd/telegraf" />
<filePath value="$PROJECT_DIR$" />
<method v="2" />
</configuration>
</component>
```
