Remote debugging vs local debugging
Next steps

Remote debugging lets you inspect application properties in real time from BRICKS Controller without needing local network access to the device. This is useful for devices deployed in the field, at client sites, or in locations you cannot physically access.

Start a remote debug session

Open the device in BRICKS Controller

Go to BRICKS Controller and click on the device you want to debug.

Start remote debug

Click Remote Debug on the device detail page. The controller connects to the device and retrieves the list of available properties.

Select properties to monitor

Choose which properties you want to inspect. Only selected properties are streamed to reduce data volume.

The device must be online and connected to the BRICKS server for remote debugging to work. This feature may not be available on all workspace plans.

What you can inspect

The remote debug session displays real-time property values from the running application:

Data node values — Current state of data nodes
Generator properties — Configuration and outlet values
Brick properties — UI component settings and bindings

Filtering

Use the filter options to narrow down the property list:

Search by name — Filter properties by keyword
Hide auto-generated — Show only user-defined properties
Hide commands — Filter out command-type nodes

You can copy property values to the clipboard for further analysis.
