== Other Useful NSPR Logging Options ==
== More NSPR Logging Options ==
 
The following modules may or may not be available in release builds, but are available in debug builds:
 
* nsDragService
 
The following modules are not owned by Mail&News, but useful for problem analysis of Mail&News.
 
* For NSS, see [https://wiki.mozilla.org/NSS:Tracing TSS:Tracing] (SSL)
 
* pipnss - S/MIME (nsCMSMessage) debugging
 
* nsHostResolver, nsSocketTransport [https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/networking/http/logging.html HTTP_Logging] (DNS lookup, Socket log)
 
* timestamp [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/nspr/reference/html/prlog.html#25328 NSPR Reference, Chapter 26 Logging ] (Timestamp is added to NSPR log)
 
== Logging Tools ==
 
These tools do not work with current versions of Thunderbird:
 
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/tbtracer/ TBTracer addon] by Thundersomething author "derdoc"


* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/loghelper/ loghelper addon] by jtcranmer
Thunderbird gets its logging capabilities from Firefox core aka Gecko, whose logging capabilities are documented at https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/xpcom/logging.html. The many modules available are listed in [https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/search?q=LazyLogModule+.*%5C%28%22&path=&case=true&regexp=true this searchfox query].  Some examples:
* nsHostResolver  (for DNS)
* GetAddrInfo  (for DNS)
* nsSocketTransport  (basic networking)


* Log Parsing - Logs can be difficult to parse because of their size. Andrew Sutherland has written [http://hg.mozilla.org/users/bugmail_asutherland.org/tb-test-help/file/678da3990640/nspr_imap_log_parser.py a parsing script] in Python for analyzing these logs. The script may need to be tweaked to suit your needs. There is more information at this [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=517466#c4 bug comment].
Miscellaneous [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/nspr/reference/html/prlog.html NSPR Reference (logging)].
